Strategies for INNOVATIVE DESIGNING Design strategies

We are now going to look at a range of design strategies to inspire ideas. There is no wrong or right way to design but the strategies can give you a starting point or help when you get ‘designers block’. Natural Forms Morphing Geometrical shapes Combine

Using the range of designing strategies previously shown, attempt the following design tasks.

Geometrical Combine Nature Morphing Task - Using geometric shapes. Develop a range of ideas for storing the pens, pencils and scissor shown below. Now start Start the task – you have 5 minutes to quickly sketch a range of ideas in 2D. Possible ideas

Geometrical Combine Nature Morphing Task - Using geometric shapes. Develop a range of ideas for storing the pens, pencils and scissor shown below. Now start Start the task – you have 15 minutes to quickly sketch a range of ideas in 3D. Possible ideas.

Task – Combining geometric shapes Task – Combining geometric shapes. Develop a range of ideas for storing a mobile phone. Combine Nature Geometrical Morphing Start the task – you have 15 minutes to present your ideas in 2D/modeling format. You could use coloured paper and scissors to complete this task. An example has been completed for you. Now start Possible ideas.

Task – Combining geometric shapes Task – Combining geometric shapes. Develop a range of ideas for storing a mobile phone. Combine Nature Geometrical Morphing Start the task – you have 25 minutes to present your ideas in 3D format/model. You could use coloured paper/card and scissors to complete this rapid prototyping task. Possible ideas.

A possible idea - combine & merge circles of the same size Task – Combining geometric shapes develop a range of ideas for storing the hair brushes. Combine Nature Geometrical Morphing Start the task – if available use computer modelling to complete this task. A possible idea - combine & merge circles of the same size

Combine & merge circles Task – Combining geometric shapes. Develop a range of ideas for storing the hair brushes. Combine Nature Geometrical Morphing Start the task – if available use computer modelling to complete this task. Combine & merge circles Use for the base and top of the storage unit

Task – Using the morphing design strategy, develop a range of ideas for storing loose change . Natural Combine Geometrical Morphing Start the task – you have 15 minutes to present your ideas in 2D or 3D format. Possible ideas.

Task – Using buildings as an inspiration source, develop a range of ideas for storing watches/jewellery. Try using the SCAMPER design strategy – S – substitute C – combine A – adapt M – minimise P – put to use E – eliminate R - reverse E – eliminate C – combine Start the task – look at the picture bank above and select your inspiration source. Paste this in the centre of the page as shown opposite. Select four of the SCAMPER approaches. R - reverse A – adapt
