9. Client/Expert research
Here you need to contact or identify an expert/client/company that you can discuss and get feedback from throughout the project. It could be in the form of a letter/ /photos/survey/questionnaire.
What to take forward?

10. Dimensions, anthropometrics and ergonomics
You should use photo to show human interaction with existing products similar to the one you will design. You can annotation these photos to highlight positive and negatives as well as key dimensions which need to be considered.
You should explain how a human will need to interact with the product you will be designing. What will you need to consider to make the product comfortable and easy for a person to use.
Dimension
Anthropometric Data
You need to gather specific anthro data about your target market and the dimensions which are relevant to how it can be used.
You will then need to use this data to determine suitable overall dimensions for your product to fit into

e.g. “My lamp must use bright colours as the target market is children between Bright colours will attract the target market to the lamp making it a viable commercial product.
Target market
e.g. “ I will give my lamp to a group of children and record their reactions to it. I could conduct a survey or interview with the children to gauge their response and the lamps success.

13. Development of Design Proposal

14. Concepts
These should be quick basic 3D sketches. You should come up with different ideas
Each sketch should be different, experimental, realistic, solve the problem and function you have been researching in your project
Annotations are not needs but you may want one or two to highlight how the product works.

15. Design Ideas Each design must have:
sketch assembly drawings, annotate materials, material properties making it suitable, finishes, positives and negatives, refer to specification and spec check box for each design
Each design must show how you intend to manufacture it! What techniques and processes you will use!
Each design must be numbered. You can also use Sketchup to create the ideas
Make sure you have annotated about all of these things

18. Development of Chosen Design
Using a combination of sketching, 3D modelling and Sketchup you need to develop the different aspects and components for you product.
This should be over several pages and should see your product develop and change but not be completely redesigned.
You should get client feedback through, make scale models of the full product and/or full size components of the product to test their function and whether they would in situ/with other products.
ALL DECISIONS YOU MAKE AS YOU DEVELOP MUST BE FULLY EXPLAINED.

Photographic Evidence.
Manufacturing the base of the lamp
MDF
Metal Rule, fret saw, belt sander, glass paper, hole saw, pillar
The fret saw, pillar drill and belt sander are dangerous workshop machines. When using them I wore goggles and an apron and only used them after having proper training. I made sure I had no loose items that could get caught in the belt sander or pillar drill.
The hole that has been cut must be within +/- 1mm of the desired diameter and will be checked with a calliper. The base must be checked for smooth finishing that will give no splinters.
The hole cut had a 21mm diameter which is +1mm larger than the desired hole, therefore the hole is reasonable in quality. The base was perfectly smooth and has no sharp edges or possible splinters.
