B2: DEVELOP FEASIBLE DESIGN IDEAS
Explanation
When developing your design ideas, it's important to incorporate all of your ideas and opportunities from your SWOT analysis. Maybe you will combine the ideas that you have researched from existing products into one amazing solution...but push yourself to keep thinking of other ideas. It's important to remember what product or solution you are concept sketching for.

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.
