Statement of Enquiry: Designers find opportunities from markets and trends to influence the form and function of successful products.
In this outstanding, creative scheme of work, students are given a brief to design a phone stand that benefits a particular user, retailer (client) and charity. Students research peoples interests (surveys, user persona) and apply this research to influence and justify the form and function of their own product. They make and evaluate various prototypes of their product whilst evidencing the design process throughout.
Lessons include:
- The brief: what are we designing and who for?
- User research: How do we design with and not for users?
- Product analysis: How can we really understand a product?
- Summarising our research: Writing a design specification.
- Sketching: How do designers generate ideas?
- CAD (Sketchup): How can we prototype without the use of materials?
- Paper prototyping: What form will our product take?
- Card prototyping: Why make something more than once?
- Plastics theory: Are plastics fantastic?
- Laser cutting (optional): How can automation help with manufacturing?
- User testing: Why and how do we test products?
- Client evaluation: How will we market and sell our product?
Project applies a practical understanding of factual, conceptual and debatable questions.
The scheme is a full term (12 - 20 week) project though could be condensed or even further extended if necessary.
Students can work within the full digital project portfolio provided or in sketchbooks. CAD work can be completed using Sketchup (free, cloud-based program). Laser cutting is optional as product can be prototyped by hand using digital or physical processes.
Student and teacher examples included.
This unit/project is designed for a term (12-14 weeks) though can be extended or condensed by modifying the design process and portfolio accordingly.
