Investigating the Design Context
Introduction
Explain the problem (why are you doing the project?), the brief and identify an example client. Add a time-plan and mind-map of any possible themes for your game.
Before summer holidays
Task Analysis
What do you need to know before starting the project? Include a brainstorm of things you will need to research related to the specification points (aesthetics, cost, manufacturing etc). Ask a series of questions to clarify the task.
Research
Study at least 2 existing products. Use the specification topics to help you analyse them. Visit a business that may sell/produce similar products. Interview a potential client to gauge their opinion of your ideas.
Development of Design proposals (including modelling)
New Materials / Specification
Research new, processes and materials (eg digital printing, corrugated board, spiral wound tubes, self-cleaning glass, thermochromatic materials and suggest how they could be applied to a board game. Write a (specification) list of features to base your ideas on. Use the topics aesthetics, cost, consumer, environment, safety, size, function, materials and manufacture.
Up to pg 11 by Oct ½ term.
Initial Ideas
Produce 2 pages of Initial Ideas. Include 2D and 3D sketches of how the board folds, boxes with nets, cards in various shapes and game pieces. Add thick and thin lines, tonal shading and annotations.
Developed Ideas
Choose the best elements of your ideas and change or add something (don’t just colour them in!). Add notes on costs, environmental and social issues, materials and manufacturing processes. Be specific about materials and adhesives.
Modelling
Model your ideas using Photoshop and Artcam and screenshot them. Use Techsoft 2D to model a net, cut it on the vinyl cutter and stick down. Explain why you did this.
By Xmas
Final Design
Draw an isometric of your final design (can be exploded to show all parts). How does it meet your spec? Add notes.
Manufacturing Spec
Be very specific. How will each product be made, what tools and equipment will you need at each stage and what quality checks will you make? What symbols will you use to show that you have taken account of sustainability and the environment.
Making
Fineliner Drawings
Draw range of isometric, perspective and 2D images that you will scan in and edit on Photoshop to use on your final product. Annotate them to show how you intend to edit them.
Making Diary
Making your product, take photos to show each stage. Print and stick down. Annotate using specific material and tool names.
Final Deadline
Testing & Evaluation
Photos of Product
Take Good Quality Photos of each product. Ask a peer to write a short evaluation based on y9 evaluation sheet.
Industrial Practices
Document how you prototyped your design and what you would do differently if making a mass-produced version.
Testing
How did you test your product? Write up the key points of your specification and explain how you made sure you met these points.
Evaluation
What worked well with your product and what would you change? Use photos to show the stages of making. Would you have done anything differently?
