Approaches to Learning

Concept Sketching

Concept sketching is an integral part of the design process. Based on your design specifications (B1) and the opportunities you identified during your SWOT analysis (A3) of existing products, begin to sketch out at least 4 different ideas (range). Annotate your design by Identifying key features (materials, color, measurements, etc) and try to make your drawings as neat as possible by using a ruler so that others can easily interpret your sketches. Click here for more resources on concept sketching.

Judging against specifications

Use the above template to score which concept sketch gets the most points based on your design specifications. Once you know which sketch has the most promise of meeting most of the specifications, develop the sketch further by adding more detail and justify why this sketch has the best chance for success.

If you have trouble choosing, consider surveying your peers using the same template.

At this stage, it is important for you to choose the design that best meets the client's’ original needs. Always come back to the problem that you were solving in the first place.

It is also really important that you are able to explain the reason that your chosen design best fulfils the design brief and addresses the design problem that you identified in the Inquiring and Analysing stage.

Against the your specifications

Interview a minimum of 4 peers (one MUST be your client)

Show your designs to at least 3 members of your class and your CLIENT?
Ask them to evaluate each of your concept sketches against your specification questions
They should then place the Concept number under the question that best answers it
