How to complete this strand:

To identify or predict the impact that a solution will have on a client or target audience, students must refer to the original problem, the design brief, the specification, and the evaluation. Students should use these aspects to draw conclusions about how well the design brief has been met. These conclusions may be presented in written form, as a list, or as a table.

The following questions may help students to explain the impact of the solution on the client or target audience.

• To what extent has the client’s or target audience’s problem been solved?

• How does this solution improve the client’s or target audience’s situation?

• To what extent has the design brief been met?

• Is there any negative effects this solution could have?
