1. SIGNAGE Signs are around us all the time. From warnings of danger to the simplest of instructions they are about us all the time. In this project you will design a prototype set of signs that are informative, aesthetically pleasing and a good promotion tool for the client

2. Investigation Criterion A Investigation You are to give a four minute presentation to the class on how people get around in the modern world using signs to guide themselves. Your presentation in which ever form you choose to compile it, is to be uploaded to your wikispace. The URL is to be pasted below. For fun. Underneath each of the icons give a word or two to indicate what these sign might be telling someone.

3. Investigation Criterion A. Investigation You will be taken to a tourist attraction in Barbados that has poor signage. You will survey the site with a view to establishing what signage would be useful in the given situation. You will need a camera to photograph the attractions and the signage that is in place. You will need pencil and paper to make a sketch map of the site. From the data gathered, you will perform a needs analysis for the signage at the site. This will form the develpmental basis for your ‘Design Brief’ and the ‘Specification.’ The collected data is to be collated in a presentation document stored on your wikispace with the URL pasted below Design Brief. I am going to design and make something that will ………….. Specifications. The solution/ finished product will :- a. b. c.Etc

4. Investigation Criterion A. Investigation How will you establish whether or not you have been successful? Your criteria for success is laid out in the specification. But how can you quantifiably establish that you have succeeded. Write down below the details of the tests you would use on your finished product MY POWER POINT ON WIKISPACES AND DROP BOX.

5. Design Criterion B. Design On paper, sketch out a range of different designs for your prototype. Scan the sketches and paste them below. Add notes to each sketch comparing the sketch to the specification,

6. Design Criterion B. Design Make a detailed drawing either electronically or by hand, of your chosen design. Ensure that you include enough detail so that the design could be produced. Underneath the drawing, explain fully why you think this is the best design. I think this is the best design because it has the same shape as the cave it is very simple and it has the name of the place.

7. Design Criterion B. Design You have the design itself, but there are other decisions that need to be made. Answer the requirements below. For each answer., explain why the answer is a suitable solution 1. What material will the sign be made from? Durable material. 2. How will you fix the sign onto the wooden poles? Take a nail and bang it in. 3. How will you weatherproof the sign? Make it water proof by using nice material. 2.How big does it need to be? Big enough to see from far away.

8. Planning Criterion C. Planning You now know what the sign looks like, what it is made from, how it fixes to the wall and how it Is protected from the elements. So how will you make it? Full details of how to make the sign need to be worked out. A pictorial storybook of how to make the sign and assemble it onto the pole is needed. You will sketch the different stages, scan them into this document and add notes to complete the story. 2 feet 6 for the length of the sign Animal Flower Cave ANIMAL FLOWER CAVE Animal Flower Cave

9. Planning Cont. Criterion C. Planning Remember to include a detailed materials list MATERIALS LIST: HOT PINK PAINT WOOD SAW PAINTBRUSHES SHARPIE (BLACK) DRAWING PALLETTE

10. Evaluation Criterion C. Planning Show here how you tested the product and came to conclusions about how well it worked. Remember to add your own grades against the different criteria. I think that the product came out really well though I would have like to make the writing bigger and paint the flowers better. I think on this project I should get a good grade but not top grade because as I said I feel like the writing could have been better. Answer the question: How do signs affect our life? I believe signs affect our life because they tell you were to go and how to get there if we did not have signs we would be lost. My opinions: I think my design portfolio was really well done and I do think if I had more time I would have added more information. I think the final product was great although I do believe the writing could have been bigger and I think I maybe should have stuck to the design a bit more.
