Textiles & Design, Alamanda College . Year 9 design brief – Calico Challenge 1 Year 9 Product Design - Introduction PURPOSE The purpose of this project is to design and create a product with an end user in mind. The end user will be your client – this may be yourself, another student, a teacher or someone from outside the school. STATEMENT OF INQUIRY Students will understand that in order to design and create a product, certain processes must be undertaken through an inquiry into the MYP design cycle and how each part are implemented during the product design processes. FASHION SHOW/EXHIBITION Your final product design will be part of a fashion show at the end of the school year. If you do not wish to model the product yourself, you will be responsible for finding a model for your product. Your presentation and product will also be displayed during the Year 9 Graduation. PRODUCT DESIGN PROCESSES The product design process is the application of design thinking that involves the use of strategies for understanding design needs and opportunities, visualising and generating creative and innovative ideas, planning, and analysing and evaluating the ideas that best meet the criteria. The use of creative and critical thinking techniques enables students to develop, articulate, analyse and reflect on the product design process. Consideration of economic, environmental and social impacts that result from designed solutions are core to design thinking and the product design process. The product design process has four stages (See MYP Design Cycle)
