EXAM!!! Flashcards
Name the stages of the Product Design Process
Investigating and defining
Design and development
Planning and production
Evaluation
What are the steps in Investigating and Defining?
- Identify client, end-user, need, problem or opportunity
- Design brief
- Design option criteria, product evaluation criteria
- Research
What are steps in Design and Development?
- Visualisations
- Design options, selection, justification of preferred option
- Working drawings, pattern drafting
What are the steps in Planning and Production?
- Production plan
9. Production
What are the steps in Evaluation?
- Product evaluation
11. Planning and production and process evaluation
Name the parts of the Evaluation Criteria for the Finished Product (aka Four Part Evaluation Criteria)
Evaluation question
Justification
How this can be achieved during the product design process
How product is to be tested/checked
Name the Five Ps of marketing
People (who will buy this product?) Product (what is being sold?) Price Place Promotion (how will people know about it?)
Name some forms of emerging technology
Computer-aided design (CAD)
Computer-aided manufacture (CAM)
Laser technology
Rapid 3D prototyping
What are some benefits of Computer-aided design (CAD)?
Allows for 3D visualisation - reduces costs and development times
Can be so detailed a physical prototype isn’t needed
Designs can be easily emailed, adjusted and stored electronically
What are some benefits of Computer Aided Manufacture (CAM)?
- Faster production process
- More precise dimensions and material consistency
- Minimal wastage of raw materials
- Less energy consumption
What are some benefits of laser technology?
- Fast, accurate, precise
- Can cut through many layers at one time
- Can take measurements of distances, levels and speed
What are some benefits of rapid 3D prototyping?
- Greatly reduced time to produce a prototype, which speeds up the whole product development process
What is the acronym for the Product Design Factors?
PH IV SELMT
What are the Product Design Factors?
- Purpose, function, context
- Human-Centred design
- Innovation and creativity
- Visual, tactile and aesthetic
- Sustainability
- Economics
- Legal responsibilities
- Materials
- Technologies
What is the mnemonic for Design Elements?
Tiny Little Trans Oppa Can Text From Shitty Phones
What are the Design Elements?
Tone (Tiny) Line (Little) Transparency (Trans) /Opacity (Oppa) Colour (Can) Texture (Text) Form (From) Shape (Shitty) Point (Phones)
What is the mnemonic for the Design Principles?
Really Pretty Boys Can Play Every Song
What are the Design Principles?
Rhythm (Really) Proportion (Pretty) Balance (Boys) Contrast (Can) Pattern (Play) Emphasis (Every) Space (Song)
What are some factors that contribute to high quality?
Suitability of materials used
Functionality - ease of use, product’s ability to perform it’s function
Reliability- strength/accuracy of construction (stitch length), type of finish used(overlocking, hems)
Aesthetics - visual/sensory appeal, suitability of product’s style
What does PD Factor 1 entail?
Includes the reason/need for a product, in the context and environment of its use.
Includes: it’s operation, performance, reliability, quality.
Primary and secondary functions, and features that support its use are considered.
What does PD Factor 2 entail?
Human problems/needs identified to improve well being and quality of life.
Considers culture, religion, age, economic status, emotional and sensory appeal, social and physical needs, fashion/trends.
Also safety, accessibility, comfort, ergonomic and anthropometric data.
What does PD Factor 3 entail?
Develop new/improved solutions to unsolved problems/opportunities.
Involves: invention, improvement, modification, experimentation.
Opportunities are identified from RD, user feedback, new materials and emerging technology.
What does PD Factor 4 entail?
Relate to the product’s form, appearance and feel.
Design elements and principles
What does PD Factor 5 entail?
S.E.E
Underpinning aspects include: LCA, emotional attachment, carbon footprint, embodied energy and water use, distribution (product miles) and use of energy and resources.
