The Design Cycle: A Problem Solving Process
What is the point?A proven method and process
Can be utilized for any problem
Helps you to produce quality work
Design Cycle:Problem Solving Process Overview
A - Investigating and analyzing
B - Developing ideas
C - Creating the solution
D - Evaluating
A: Investigating & analyzingStudents will:
Explain the importance of the problem Justify the need for a solutionConsider their targeted audienceIdentify and prioritize research needed to
develop a solutionAnalyze a range of existing products that
inspire a solutionDevelop a detailed “Design Brief” which
summarizes the analysis of relevant research
Investigating-Design Brief DetailsWhen developing the design brief, you should… concisely summarize only the useful and relevant information you have found through your research
present this information in your own words
not copy and paste information from sources without directly quoting and providing analysis or explaining how it is relevant
B: Developing IdeasStudents will:
develop a design specification that clearly states the success criteria
develop a range of feasible design ideas, which can be interpreted by others
present the final chosen design and justify
develop accurate and detailed planning drawings/diagrams and outline the requirements for the creation of the chosen solution
Design Specs = success criteriaTo be successful, the solution must... (have, be, include, do, etc.)
Developing Ideas - DetailsIn MYP design, a feasible idea is one that the you can
create within the allocated time with the tools and facilities.
Some examples of “planning drawings/diagrams” include: website navigation maps, websites detailed sketches (graphic design) detailed storyboards (video editing and animations scale drawing with measurements (orthographic), part and assembly drawings exploded drawings recipes cutting plans
Developing Ideas - Details
C: Creating the solutionStudents will:
construct a logical plan, describing time & resources
demonstrate excellent technical skills
follow the plan
justify fully any changes made to the chosen design and plan during the process
present the solution as a whole either in electronic form or through photographs of the solution showing details from different angles
Creating the solution - Details When changes have been made to the solution, students
must describe and justify each change.
Technical skills: The level of technical skill can be determined using the following two factors:
the complexity of skill demonstrated
the level of guidance needed from the teacher to complete the task
D:EvaluatingStudents will:
design detailed and relevant testing methods that will generate data and make it possible to measure the success of the solution
evaluate the success of the solution against the design specification*
explain how the solution could be improved
explain the impact of the solution on the targeted audience/client
Evaluating - DetailsProduct testing: stage in the design process where
versions of products (prototypes) are tested against the design need (specification), applied to the context and presented to the end-user or target audience.
Tests include collection and analysis of data.
Types of testing include: user trial and observation: (usability and intuitiveness), field/ performance test: (functionality and performance), expert appraisal: (beta testing, consumer testing)
Evaluating details continued…Authentic tests are:
relevant to the project
completed by appropriate testers
used to gain high-quality feedback.

Homework:Complete your set of Cornell notes as evidence
of “Creating the solution.”Review the PowerPoint on our website if needed.Make sure use feedback on your practice Cornell
notes and apply that to this task.Include summaries on each page!Include any changes you made to the system and
justify why you made those changes. OR
If you made no changes, explain why this system works for you.
