Read through and break down all the important factors of the letter, and link to any work you will need to do as a result. For example: “The letter says I must aim my design at Teenagers. Therefore I need to conduct a CUSTOMER PROFILE into the teenage market and identify what they will look for in a product.” Apollo Lighting Letter Summary Box What have you found out. What happens next. GCSE Product Design Examples Mark Scheme

Customer Profile PowerPoint Conduct some research into the customer you are aiming your product at. - What would they be interested in? - What would they look for in a lamp? - What would their priorities be in terms of shopping for a product? (Price/Product/Service) - Find suitable images Apollo Lighting Customer Profile PowerPoint Summary Box What have you found out. How will your product appeal to the 2 shoppers you have profiled? What happens next? GCSE Product Design Examples Mark Scheme

Design Movement Research Template Copy over the information from your Design Movements Homework for the design movement you wish to focus on. If you are undecided on two then use the two. Design Movement Research Template Summary Box What have you found out. How will your product appeal to the 2 shoppers you have profiled? What happens next? GCSE Product Design Examples Mark Scheme

Product Analysis Summary Box Look at an existing product. Using ACCESS FM analyse the product IN DETAIL. Make sure you use lots of images to support your evidence. Take photos from lots of different angles, close ups, etc. Be specific and detailed. EG. Don’t just say “It is a big size…” No marks! “It is 240mm in width, 100mm in height and 40mm deep. This is because…” Top marks! “It is made from wood.” No marks! “It is made from Mahogany which is a hard wood. This means it will be more expensive and therefore appeal to an older audience.” Top marks! Make sure you Justify your opinions. Always follow up each statement with a reason WHY!!! EG. “It is blue.” No marks! “It is blue BECAUSE…” Top marks! Summary Box What worked really well? What didn’t work so well? What would you be inclined to use and avoid in your designs? GCSE Product Design Examples ACCESS FM Mark Scheme

Design Specification Make a list of Criteria that you need to follow when designing your product. Think about WHAT YOUR PRODUCT NEEDS TO DO! “The lamp must…” Possible things to consider: - It’s function/purpose - Who it is aimed at - What components (LED Strip, Switch, Battery) need to be considered - Its environment – Where will it go? - Environmental issues – What happens at the end of its product lifecycle? What materials you will use and their environmental impact. - Aesthetic features that need to be considered. - Any ergonomic or anthropometric factors that need to be considered? - Any safety issues that need considering? GCSE Product Design Examples Mark Scheme

Initial Ideas (2 Slides) Insert your scanned in initial ideas sketches over the next two slides (1 slide per design). Annotate using the below tips: Why have you designed it in that shape? Is it for a functional reason or a purely Aesthetic reason? Have you taken any influence from anywhere? Why have you chosen those colours? Will they appeal to the target market? How will your design meet the approval of the Target Market you have identified? What material/s will you use and why? Any ergonomic features? Is it easy/comfortable for the user to use or are there any flaws? How are you going to make it in the workshop with the equipment we have? How could it possibly be made in Industry? What are the Positives and Negatives of your design and why? What modifications could you make to improve it? Are there any environmental factors you need to consider? Are there any recyclable/sustainable materials used? How could it be dismantled and disposed of at the end of it’s life? Summary Box (Last slide only) Which design will you be developing further? Why? GCSE Product Design Examples Mark Scheme

Development (Modelling & Sketching) – Slide 1 of 2 Include a smaller image of your chosen initial idea to help tell the story of how your design is developing. After you have made your model of your docking station insert any photographs into this slide and annotate using the following points. Why did you choose this design? Explain and justify the aesthetics of the design. How you could make it when it comes to making your proper prototype (Materials and Methods). Good points/bad points? Photo/s of your first foam model Further Developments (scanned in sketches) What have you altered? Why? Has it worked? Does it improve the design or weaken it? Why? If it requires a different method of making it explain how. Scans of your developed sketches Summary Box what areas have worked well and what do you now need to focus on developing further. GCSE Product Design Examples Mark Scheme

Development (Modelling & Sketching) – Slide 2 of 2 Photo/s of your second foam model Include image/s of your SECOND developed foam model What changes did you make and why? If it requires a different method of making it explain how. Good points/bad points? Has it improved the design? Further Developments (scanned in sketches) What have you altered? Why? Has it worked? Does it improve the design or weaken it? Why? If it requires a different method of making it explain how. Scans of your developed sketches Summary Box what areas have worked well and what do you now need to focus on developing further. GCSE Product Design Examples Mark Scheme

Development (CAD) – 2 Slides Create your design on Sketchup. Design a range of alternative designs for the shape, and also smaller features such as stands, switches, etc. Screenshot each change/step you make and paste onto this slide For each development comment on what you did, why you did it, how you will make it and how it benefits (or worsens) the design. Talk in more detail about the materials and manufacture, how it would be made in industry and any environmental issues with your choice of materials. Sketchup ebook 2D Design ebook Summary Box Which ideas or aspects of ideas worked and which didn’t? What could you develop further? GCSE Product Design Examples Mark Scheme

Final Design Solution (Slide 1) You should have now created your FINAL DESIGN in Google Sketchup (3D CAD). Create an ORTHOGRAPHIC PROJECTION of your Final Design using your Sketchup Model. In SKETCHUP go to ‘VIEW’, ‘TOOLBARS’ and then scroll down to select ‘VIEWS’. Click on ‘CAMERA’ and then ‘PARALLEL PROJECTION’. Screenshot the Front, Top and Side view, and paste into your PowerPoint. Scale and line up so they are all the same size and are in line with each other. Add measurements to your PowerPoint (use the Double Ended Arrow from the shapes palette to show what area each measurement is indicating). Add the measurements using a Text Box (in MM). Include a 3D Isometric view as well. GCSE Product Design Examples Mark Scheme

Final Design Solution (1/2 Slides) You should have now created your FINAL DESIGN in Google Sketchup (3D CAD). Screen shot your design from different angles, showing key details, components, exploded views, etc. Annotate your final design solution with these points: Explain and justify your Aesthetic decisions. (Why does it look the way it looks). Any Ergonomic features (how will the user interact with the lamp). How it will assemble/fit together – You may need to research fixtures and fittings, wood joints, adhesives. How the components (LED Strip, Switch, Battery) will fit in and be accessed The materials – Be specific! Don’t just write ‘Plastic’ or ‘Wood’. Use Acrylic, ABS, MDF, etc. and explain WHY you are using them. Any environmental issues (recyclable or sustainable materials?) - The worlds population are becoming increasingly aware of the need to be environmentally friendly. Whatever material you choose to make your product out of it will have some environmental impact. How can you make your product as environmentally friendly as possible? How can you ensure the materials you use come from responsible sources? Have you considered use recycled/recyclable materials? Can you reduce the amount of material you use? Can you use locally sourced materials (how is this helping the environment?) Social issues - What are the positive social issues associated with your product? Does your product encourage family interaction, healthy lifestyle, include the needs of the disabled etc.? Was your design inspired by any cultural or historical movement? Moral issues - These include issues such as safety for the consumer. You also need to consider how and where the product may be manufactured Some people think that workers in foreign countries are exploited to produce cheap goods for the UK. Others believe that without these jobs, the people would starve. Investigate the role Fairtrade plays in resolving this situation. How could this be related to your product? GCSE Product Design Examples Mark Scheme

Record of Manufacture Cost Counter Keep a diary style record of how you manufacture your prototype. Include lots of Photographs/video clips throughout. What did you do and why? Did you have to deviate away from your plan? What Tools/Machinery/Techniques did you use? What QUALITY CHECKS did you make to allow you to move on? How might this step have been done in Industry? You also need to calculate the cost of your prototype. Click here to access the materials costings. Cost Counter Calculate the cost of materials and consumables used. This will accumulate as you progress through your Record of Manufacture. Click HERE for cost details for the materials. You will then need to calculate how much you have used. Material/Consumable Cost Material £ Total for this step Total for Model (add up as the slides progress) GCSE Product Design Examples Mark Scheme

Evaluation - Testing the product against the Design Specification Copy and paste your Design Specification (slide 8) onto this slide and for each criteria you mentioned specify whether you have met it, partly met it or not met it, and why. GCSE Product Design Examples Mark Scheme

Evaluation - Testing the product using a 3rd party Conduct a questionnaire to test what other peoples opinions are of your product. Use the statements from your Specification to help you structure your questions. 5 QUESTIONS MAX! Display your questionnaire results ONLY on this slide using graphs Provide a sentence or two for each graph explaining what you have found out and how it will affect your design and final product if you did it again. To make this stage easier use SURVEY MONKEY (online) to create and conduct your questionnaire. GCSE Product Design Examples Mark Scheme

Evaluation - Modifications you made when making If you have changed your Final Design throughout the making process document it using photo’s/diagrams and explain WHY you had to make those changes. GCSE Product Design Examples Mark Scheme

Evaluation - Modifications you would make What modifications would you make to your design if given the opportunity to start again and WHY? Suggest 3 – 5 changes/modifications. Include sketches/google sketchup models of your developed ideas stemming from what you have written to visualise your changes. GCSE Product Design Examples Mark Scheme

Photo’s of your Final Model Take a number of photo’s (around 10) of your final model. You need to show your model from as many different angles as possible. Zoom in on certain areas as well, such as LED’s, switches, etc. Take a few pictures in the dark to show it lit up. GCSE Product Design Examples Mark Scheme
