The portfolio needs to address
5 main areas. Evidence is required for all these areas. A portfolio approach
which requires students to consider several smaller projects is how we will hit
these areas.
The areas are;
1 Investigation
and clarification of the problem
2 DEVELOPMENT
OF A DESIGN PROPOSAL
3 COMMUNICATION
AND MODELLING
4 Making
and Manufacturing
5 EVALUATION
AND TESTING.
This project requires you
to consider designing a CD holder, which will be situated on a windowsill or a
narrow shelf. The design needs to be
practical ( hold CDs’ ) and sold as a flat pack. You will need to do some
research and development work, produce rough and final drawings and an
evaluation. As well as design sketches you will need to make at least two
models / mock ups using card before making your final design.
The shelf is 200mm wide.
The
final design will be flat pack
The
final design will be self assembly ( no tools required )
This minor project will impact sections 2, 3, 4 and 5
