Question 4

in the first diamond

Answer 4

usually considered the problem stage
- brainstorminga need, problem or opportunity and end user to focus on
- researching likely end users and their needs
- interiews
- questionaires
available statistics

Question 5

a design brief

Answer 5

outline the context, constraints and considerations, expected quality
- identifies need or opportunity
- profile of the end user
- intended function
scope- constraints and considerations with reference to the factors

Question 6

evaluation criteria

Answer 6

to establish how well the finished product satisfies the design brief
for the product concepts (graphical and physical) and the finished product

Question 7

why is the evaluation criteria used when products are finished buy made before

Answer 7

because it helps the designer understand the design brief clearer and it will help guide them throughout production.

Question 8

what stage could you evaluate your product other than the final evaluation

Answer 8

the evaluation critera

Question 9

the second diamond

Answer 9

usually considered the solution stage
Research – for inspiration and information; annotated to show
relevance; some visualisations drawn nearby to show influence;
IP must be attributed.
- Drawing types (graphical product concepts – by hand or digital): visualisations, design options, working drawings
- Prototyping (physical product concepts – actual or virtual): iterations
- scehduled production plan
- production

Question 10

visualisations

Answer 10

concept sketches and drawings, of ideas for parts or whole of the product that meets the requirnments of the design brief .
small and drawn quickly, can be coloured, annotated and reflecting influence from research; 3D models can also be used

Question 11

design options

Answer 11

a series of potential options evaluated to determine which best suits the requirnments of the design brief
- drawn in the presentation style (show whole of
the product in 3D), coloured, annotated to show how design brief
requirements have been met, proposed materials and processes;
evaluation criteria are applied with end-user feedback

Question 12

working drawings

Answer 12

to show product specifications (dimensions,
shapes, components and their placement); usually 2D, outlines
only, accurate, drawn to scale.

Question 13

iteration

Answer 13

of the design using models/trialling/prototypes or a toile
for garments to check the design and accuracy of the working
drawing/s.

Question 14

scheduled production plan

Answer 14

sequenced plan and timeline listing equipment with risk assessment and materials list.
components are: production steps, time- line, materials list & costs, risk assessment and quality measures,
justification of choices.

Question 15

production

Answer 15

product and a production record of refinements and modifcations, including pattern drafting, that may be made throughout production
- using risk management (by following controls and
precautions in the risk assessment), documenting progress (log and
photos) and making a product.

Question 16

divergent thinking

Answer 16

Creative, wide, exploring from lots
of areas and influences, looking at the bigger picture and getting as many ideas as possible

Question 17

Convergent thinking

Answer 17

Questioning, determining, checking,
evaluating to help make decisions, refining, bring back ideas from divergent, coming closer together
checking and using info gathered to refine ideas + make decisions

Question 18

speculative thinking

Answer 18

to guide the project (considering the
future, how it might be, the impact on society etc.)

Question 19

Under all stages is the application of ‘evaluating, planning and managing’

Answer 19

• Identifying and using evaluation criteria
• Planning research and managing data – synthesising information
• Evaluating designs and prototypes
• Planning production and risk management
• Evaluating your processes and finished solution

Question 20

evaluation

Answer 20

an evaluation of product quality using end user feedback/ recomended improvements and evaluation criteria

Question 21

designer

Answer 21

a person who plans the form or structure of something before it is made, by preparing drawings or plans

Question 22

research

Answer 22

research into factors that relate to the design brief, materials and process investigations

Question 23

what is primary research

Answer 23

obtaining first hand information from your own activities. including your own observations

Question 24

what might primary research be used + why is it neccassary

Answer 24

garantees that the info collectef us up to date and relevant and accurate

Question 25

what is secondary research?

Answer 25

research that has already been gathered organised and published by others. when someone else has done the research for you

Question 26

why might secondary research be used + why is it neccassary

Answer 26

gathering input from many sources promotes flexibility in your approach and helps broaden your knowledge before you start designing.
helps save time and money

Question 27

what are the different ways you can present this information

Answer 27

research plan + mind map/brainstorm

Question 28

quality measures

Answer 28

quality measures + quality checks to help ensure your product turns out to be the best possible quality

Question 29

risk management

Answer 29

a process used to recognise hazards and manage and control risks

Question 30

what is a complex process

Answer 30

one that invloves a number of steps to create the finished process.
eg. gathering stitch
sew two lines of long straight stitches along the top of the skirt and pull the top thread on each line of stitches and ease material along.

Question 30

what is the outline of context

Answer 30

explains the problems to be solves, or the need to be met. it states the end users reason for the product. includes background information

Question 31

what does intellectual property mean

Answer 31

it is the ownership of an idea or design by the person who came up wuth it, meaning that nobody else can copy or re-use that creation without the owners permission
- generated through intellectual ideas

Question 32

divergent thinking activities

Answer 32

brainstorming, mood biards, visualisations, mind maps, researching, trilling + testing, end user interview, SCAMPER

Question 33

convergent thinking techniques

Answer 33

research to check facts,
evaluation criteria, using
feedback, final technical
drawings, design option, production planning, prototype

Question 34

develop (divergent)

Answer 34

ideas are suggested, explored and sketched, developed, trialled and modelled (both digitally and physically). useful research is carried out on materials, functionality, tools and processes. a range of viable options are drawn and the best ideas are prototyped,m testes and refined until most effctive solution is chosen

Question 35

deliver (convergent)

Answer 35

working drawings of the chosen design are developed, and detailed plans are made for production. the product solution is made using the best available materials, tool andskills. checks are frequently made to ensure the solution meets the quality standards required, leading t modifcations.

Question 36

discover (divergent)

Answer 36

designers identify and research a need or opportunity., they spend time listening to people and learning about their needs, and consider opp that are open for new/imporovement solutions. research is done to identofy the problens and benefits of products that are readily available

Question 37

define (convergent)

Answer 37

the problem or opp is clarified and defined in a written design brief. outlining why a product is needed and for whom.
eval crit is developed from the design brief. they are used throughout the process to guide the design, development and prodution.

Question 38

universal design

Answer 38

Inclusive design – also called ‘universal
design’ or ‘design for all’ – is about
designing products for use by a broad
range of people, especially those who
are sometimes excluded from using
mainstream products because of their
age, gender, ability or economic status.
