constraints and standards of production. product design, e.g. design brief, design situation, design criteria, purpose, user requirements, safety requirements, audience, function, constraints, financial considerations influence of manufacturing techniques on product design decisions factors influencing production decisions, e.g. operating environments, workplace health and safety issues. People can influence decisions made about the design, development and use of technology to change the impact on people, their communities and environments at local and global levels. Examples may include: past, present and future perspectives on technology impacts of technology on people, communities and the environment, e.g. impact of graphical communication, advertising, media and sustainability on decision making. Information, materials and systems (resources) Resources originate from different sources, in various forms and are manipulated to meet specifications and standards to make products. Characteristics of resources are compared, contrasted and selected to meet detailed specifications and predetermined standards of production to best suit the user. Examples may include: nature, characteristics and properties of typical resources, e.g. woods, metals, plastics, natural and synthetic materials suitability of materials for specific purposes design requirements influences on material selection, e.g. function, form and/or shape, economics, complexity of construction, aesthetics elements of design, e.g. points, shapes, colours, textures, size, tone principles of design, e.g. balance, harmony, contrast, repetition, proportion, variety, emphasis. Techniques and are selected, controlled and managed to manipulate or process resources to meet detailed specifications and predetermined standards of production. Examples may include: risk assessment and management identifying and minimising potential hazards and risks ensuring safe work procedures and sequences disposing of waste safely energy sources safely basic techniques for manipulating industrial materials, e.g. forming, separating, combining, conditioning, finishing graphical communication/drawings techniques, e.g. sketching and CAD Modelling, 2-D and 3-D representations use of graphical communication technologies, e.g. sketching and drawing equipment, computer-aided design and drafting software and techniques.
home. The design must hold a range of items that you would typically find on a student desk, such as pens, pencils, and paperclips. The design is constrained by supplied materials and manufacturing processes suitable to the age and ability of students. organisation or reorganisation, e.g. storage of mobile phone, keys, chargers, or remote controls. The design is constrained by material and manufacturing processes suitable to the age and ability of students. e.g. media storage box, jewellery box. The design is constrained by limits on overall dimensions, material costs and manufacturing processes suitable to the age and ability of students. Student focus Students measure and mark out, work safely, cut, join and finish. Students design the individual components of a desk storage system. This design should incorporate the use of processes and techniques listed The design folio is scaffolded by outlining key aspects, e.g. interpretation of design brief, areas requiring research, how to generate ideas, sketching with annotations, justification of choices, working sketches, production plan, evaluation. Students measure and mark out, work safely, cut, join and finish. They design the product based on defined constraints or components. The pre-production process should involve negotiated planning of the steps and processes to ensure successful production. Students negotiate and problem the development of their idea with their teacher. The pre-production process should involve negotiated planning of the and processes to ensure successful production.
