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

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