Analysis of brief: Step 1: Understanding the terms and words used

Do you know what these words mean? Design and make an egg holder, to be placed on the kitchen table to hold at least two eggs. The holder should be attractive in appearance and have a design theme which reflects its use.

Definitions of words Design: Design is the way we solve problems and find the best solution to them Attractive: Appealing to the senses through beauty or form Theme: An idea or topic in which something is designed around

Key considerations: The egg holder must be able to be placed on a horizontal surface It must be able to hold at least two eggs It must be visually appealing The design ideas of the egg holder must incorporate its use

What constraints (limits) must we work on in this project in relation to… Size and proportion? Sustainability? Skills ? Cost? Materials? Time?

Research and investigation: Research and investigation is completed to gain information and knowledge on possible solutions to the design problem. This information and knowledge will help you to develop ides for your own design. Lets take a look at some images related to our brief…
