Informa/on is organised, basic use of technical language/vocabulary. Wriaen communica/on is adequate in terms of organisa/on of material, with some errors of grammar, punctua/on and spelling. 7 – 8 A range of good ini/al ideas that are well annotated. The ideas and annota/on show good aaen/on to the specifica/on. Informa/on is well organised, good use of technical language/vocabulary. Wriaen communica/on is good, presen/ng mainly appropriate material in a coherent manner, with few errors of grammar, punctua/on and spelling. 9 – 10 A range of excellent ini/al ideas that are very well annotated. The ideas and annota/on show close aaen/on to the specifica/on. Informa/on is well organised, presented in a highly appropriate manner, very good use of technical language/vocabulary. Wriaen communica/on is good, presen/ng material in a coherent manner and largely error-‐free.
To complete it you must: Draw a maximum of four ini/al designs
GENERATION OF IDEAS – 1 (p3)
You must: • Present up to four ideas • Use technical language to annotate each sketch • Include references to the specifica/on • Show front, back and inside views as appropriate • Use any suitable graphic media to present the ideas (pencils rather than pens!)
GENERATION OF IDEAS – 2 (p4) You will complete this secEon on the proper CAT pages –handing them in once finished To complete it you must: Present your best IniEal Design Explain why you think it’s the best one. Gather other’s views of your work Present a Revised Design using the opinions you gathered
GENERATION OF IDEAS – 2 (p4)
You can also add more details about how the product will work, how you will produce different aspects of it Remember coloured pencils!
Use this box to present your best ini/al design. This could be one design or a combina/on of two or three ini/al designs.
GENERATION OF IDEAS -‐ 2) Explain why it’s the best one:
This is your own opinion but it would be useful to refer it to one or two specificaEon points
GENERATION OF IDEAS -‐ 2) Gather other’s views:
Ask your classmates what they think about your design and get them to write it down. If you are asked be truthful, some/mes it is very useful to have ‘nega/ve’ comments as designs can be vastly improved from sugges/ons made. Remember to give sugges/ons for any changes you would make. It might help to think: “How would I make this product?” Add your response to the sugges/ons and if you will use any of them in the boaom box
GENERATION OF IDEAS -‐ 2) Revised Design:
Use the final box to present your revised design. Remember to point out the changes you have made from your classmate’s sugges/ons. This doesn’t need to be in colour

There is a comprehensive analysis of where the product fits in the market place together with a very detailed evalua/on of a similar product. The work presented shows clear evidence of detailed research and prepara/on. A clear and appropriate brief is evident.
ANALYSIS OF TASK (p1) To complete it you will have to: • Evaluate exis/ng similar products – a product analysis • Carry out a quesEonnaire or ‘client’ interview • Iden/fy where the product fits into the market place (linked to product analysis) • Consider details such as colour, style, materials, costs – linked to target market Keep research focused and use it to inform design thinking
This will be provided for you from the exam board. It sets the scene for the rest of your project – make sure everything relates to it!
ANALYSIS OF TASK: THE TARGET MARKET
You could carry out a quesEonnaire to research the likes/dislikes of your target audience, presen/ng the analysis of your results in this box. or You could carry out a client interview to discover the likes/dislikes or your client, again presen/ng the analysis of your results in this box.
ANALYSIS OF TASK: QUESTIONNAIRE OR CLIENT PROFILE? QuesEonnaire: QuesEonnaires are useful if you are targeEng your product at a certain target market rather than one parEcular person. Ask mul/ choice ques/ons relevant to the project. These could include: Colour Shape Size Fastenings Themes – e.g. princess, beach, stars etc. Where/what will the product be used for Do the fabrics need any special proper4es, e.g. durable, washable? Price
Client Profile: The client is the person who you will be making the product for. Ask your ‘client’ ques/ons relevant to the project. These could include: Colour Shape Size Fastenings Themes – e.g. princess, beach, stars etc. Where/what will the product be used for Do the fabrics need any special proper4es, e.g. durable, washable? Price
ANALYSIS OF TASK: Analysis of a compe/tor product:
AKA: PRODUCT ANALYSIS….. See next pages for more Product Analysis help…..
ANALYSIS OF TASK: Analysis of a compe/tor product (con/nued): Remember to use as many of the following headings as possible:
• AestheEcs – what it looks like • FuncEon – what does the product do • Quality – is it well made? • Size – what sizes are available, do you think they are appropriate? • Safety – are there and aspects of the product that could cause harm? • Scale of manufacture – how easily could it be mass produced? • ConstrucEon details – what specific techniques have they used to make the product? Could you use anything similar? • Materials – what have been used? What proper/es do they have which make them appropriate for that par/cular product? • DecoraEve techniques – what have been used? Could you use similar techniques? • Environmental – how does the product effect the environment? Think about whether materials are renewable, durable or not? • Sustainability – can the product be used in it’s ‘auer-‐life’
ANALYSIS OF TASK: Analysis of a compe/tor product (con/nued): You could also use ACCESS FM to help you analyse a product Aesthe/cs: what does the product look like Cost: how much does the product cost to buy? Customer: who would buy or use the product? Environment: where would the product be used or stored? Size: how big or small is the product Safety: how safe during normal use? Func/on: how does the product work? Material: what is the product made of?
ANALYSIS OF TASK: Results of Research carried out:
Use this box to give a summary of what you have discovered in your research. You could refer to: your quesEonnaire or client interview your product analysis Any other relevant you have carried out should also be added here
ANALYSIS OF TASK: Final Brief:
Within this box you are telling the examiner what you now intend to design and make auer researching the ini/al design brief. You should include references to: target market, price, any care or style requirements and any other relevant design point.
