AS90737: Develop and communicate a solution to an engineering or technological design brief Sample 2 - Merit

Commentary The research phase could be extended to encompass a greater range design ideas, materials used etc, to give a greater depth to this work. The sketching skills shown in these pages should display techniques such as thin/thick line technique/crating etc expected in the step up to level 2 sketching skills. There is evidence of good reflective comments here, but to extend to a critically analysed solution the implications of the alternative design ideas and decisions should be explored. There are a good range of design issues considered and developed here ie construction, size, materials, colour , form etc. The formal communication of the final solution could be strengthened by using a wider range of different modes ie Orthographic drawings etc.
