TDJ2O Course Information
The nature of this course is that we will be working in a lab as well as in a shop. As such, you are expected to treat both the computer lab as well as the shops we'll be in with the utmost respect and care. Please make sure you don't bring your bags to class.
Design Technology is the perfect unison of all things technology. There are aspects of creation from theoretical to practical, from art to construction.
What is design?
What is design?
Design is the creation of a plan or convention for the construction of an object or a system (as in architectural blueprints, engineering drawings, business processes, circuit diagrams and sewing patterns). Design has different connotations in different fields. But generally can be summed up by the expression "see a need, fill a need".
Design is about seeing a problem, coming up with solutions and making it better. To design is to be human.
Wikipedia suggests the stages of design are:
Pre-production design
Pre-production design
Analysis – analysis of current design goals
Research – investigating similar design solutions in the field or related topics
Specification – specifying requirements of a design solution for a product (product design specification)or service.
Problem solving – conceptualizing and documenting design solutions
Presentation – presenting design solutions
Design during production
Design during production
Development – continuation and improvement of a designed solution
Testing – in situ testing a designed solution
Post-production design feedback for future designs
Post-production design feedback for future designs
Implementation – introducing the designed solution into the environment
Evaluation and conclusion – summary of process and results, including constructive criticism and suggestions for future improvements
Redesign
Redesign
any or all stages in the design process repeated (with corrections made) at any time before, during, or after production.
This is also known as the design cycle (see above right)
The best philosophy of design is to KISS (linky)
