Task 2
Using free-hand sketching create a wide range of initial designs (minimum of 6). Include colour and detailed annotation.
TOP TIP: Use your ACCESS FM headings to ensure your annotation is accurate.
Task 3
Create a detailed ‘final design’ of your chosen idea. Ensure you include detailed sketches of how the structure would be constructed, the chosen materials, how it would be transported and the ease of use.
TOP TIP: Don’t be afraid to incorporate current technologies, materials and construction methods. This product has to be FEASIBLE!
