Design Brief Digital cameras are all very similar and many take little account for the wide range of activities and people that use them. I am going to design and model a model digital camera for _______________. The camera should be innovative and fashionable* to appeal to the customer. The camera must be durable and have a long battery life. * Theme / retro / vintage / ergonomic / creative / fun / lightweight / portable

Specification Headings: – Ergonomics – Materials – Aesthetics – Function – Safety – Customer – Environmental Issues – Moral Issues – Social Issues

Example

Initial Ideas – Page 2 4 ideas (1 per quarter of a page) Annotate – Strengths and weaknesses (& why) – Specification points – User – Materials (& why) – Processes (& why) – Extra detail / zoomed in views – Alternatives / development

Initial Ideas 2 – Page 3 4 ideas (1 per quarter of a page) Done using CAD (2D Design) - examples show Photoshop, do not do this. Annotate – Strengths and weaknesses (& why) – Specification points – User – Materials (& why) – Processes (& why) – Extra detail / zoomed in views – Alternatives / development – Models (laser cut)

Modelling Use modelling to test features (like proportions, scale, function, sub-systems etc) Modelling must be presented using clear, well- annotated photos.

3D Ideas – Page 4 & 5 4 3D ideas (2 per page half page for each) Chosen from previous ideas Changed SIGNIFCANTLY Isometric (exploded view if necessary) Annotate – Strengths and weaknesses (& why) – Specification points – User – Materials (& why) – Processes (& why) – Extra detail / zoomed in views – Alternatives / development – Models (probably styrofoam) – photos in situ – Comment on the models (ergonomics etc)

Models Accurate sizes Testing ergonomics High quality finish Detail
