AKAM DIGITAL DESIGN: Historical Preservation Unit. Criterion B: Developing Ideas

At the end of year 5, students should be able to:

i. develop design specifications, which clearly states the success criteria for the design of a solution

ii. develop a range of feasible design ideas, which can be correctly interpreted by others

iii. present the chosen design and justify its selection

iv. develop accurate and detailed planning drawings/diagrams and outline the requirements for the creation of the chosen solution.

Strand i) (Maximum of 1 page)

i) develop design specifications, which clearly states the success criteria for the design of a solution

- The design specs should be measurable with a clear way on how the specs will be tested.

- The specification should be directly connected to your design brief.

Sample:

Strand ii) (Maximum of 2 pages)

ii) develop two feasible design ideas, which can be correctly interpreted by others

- Develop two good quality designs and measure each of them against the design specs.

- Your description for each design should be detailed and clear and use captions on images or diagrams which are not clear.

- Annotate the designs with sufficient detail to explain how they meet the requirements of the design specification and to explain design thinking
