What is it?

Development in design means to improve a chosen initial ideas to make it better, to investigate different options for the design to reach a final solution.

For the initial Development, you are looking at the development of the overall design idea and changing parts of a design such as sketching the different leg designs and then incorporating it into the overall design.

Instead of initially concentrating on aesthetics, you may need to ensure your product will function - this may then help to determine the aesthetics of the product.

Throughout this section, your work should be a mixture of sketches, physical and CAD models. You need to choose the right method depending on the needs and time.

Tips?

- Think about how you lay your drawings on a page, don´t leave

too much space between drawings.

- Don't number drawings, but you can use arrows to help guide

the reader around the page

- Spend time now to get the design right, think about how you will

make it and the materials you use.

- Don't design lineally, ensure that you explore ideas and come back to previous designs if they don't work.

- This should be a mix/range of models and sketches.

- Keep the models small and quicker to make

- You are taking a picture of it - not a full model is needed

- Treat the page as other design pages

- Arrows

- Annotation
