Criterion B focuses on developing ideas that might be possible solutions to the problem. The goal in this section of the design cycle is to explore possible solutions and then present the best solution for making.
Bii - Developing ideas (MYP 5 - Should I Stay Or Go?).mp3Mood Board (REQUIRED)
What is a Mood board? A mood board is simply where you go onto the internet and collect as many photographs as possible and place them onto an A4 page. These photographs are NOT placed neatly they are: upside down, at an angle, over lapping, etc. and they make up a collage. From this collage inspiration can sometime be found for your design which will come in the next stage.
Initial Design Ideas (REQUIRED)
At least TWO (or more) FULL SIZE initial design ideas. If the quality of drawings makes it difficult or impossible to interpret the design, then you will achieve the lower band score. Annotation should give a brief account of each initial design idea. Think of different ideas, themes, that are aesthetically pleasing, relevant and realistic; include for text/annotations and linked to the design brief and client interview.
Evaluation (REQUIRED)
Evaluate each one of the initial design ideas against the design specifications / success criteria;
Client Feedback (REQUIRED)
Client feedback on each initial design idea. What does you client like and not like about each of your designs.
NOTES:
During this stage of the MYP Design Cycle there is no need for excellent initial design ideas to be produced. These ideas can be developed further in the section to include for much more detail and notes enabling the product to be constructed in the Create stage.
