Research
 couraged to use a broad range of resources during this stage

Find out all the different ways to solve the problem.


In this step you will undertake the following;

• Find different ways to solve the database problem you are presented with (e.g. what soft ware to use................, what tools to use.............)
• compare different software programs, both in terms of features, cost and access

Also explore how other people/designers have solved simmilar problem  

• NOTE: you are encouraged to use a broad range of resources during this stage. this may include the following;
• the internet, text books,magazines and journals
• Ask people & experts for advise
• don't forget to commence your bibliography ( i.e. where I found my information)
• don't forget to include print screens of different software packages you have tried, websites you have visited and other important information.

Problem (design brief)

Problem (design brief)


the problem also known as the Design brief, is the situation you are presented with which requires a solution.

  in this step you will undertake the following to assist in understanding the presented design brief (problem)

• Firstly analyse the Design brief
• Highlight key words in the design brief
• Define any of the key words you are unfamiliar with
•  list any limitations or critaria you must adhere to
• Finally, determining exactly what the problem is that you must solve. the following strategy you may use to do this; Re-write the Design brief in own words (e.g. I have to ......., the problem is....., If I................., I will solve the problem) 

onguard safety test-online test certificate.

when you finish the consolidation test from onguard pro safety online test, it gives you the online certificate



                                       this is the first certificate and is about handling metal work

and this is the fifth one and is about the woodworking handtools 

 

and this one is the general machine work safety

onguard safety test online

our class had to do a safety test before we move on to the making section. so we had to do a test on a website called 'onguard safety training'       

 

first we had to read some safety informations for various tools.

this picture is the information about a cold chisels. it says, A cold chisel is a tool made of tempered steel used for cutting 'cold' metals, meaning that they are not used in conjunction with heating torches, forges, etc. The are four common types of cold chisel.

The cardboard model of my clock

this pictures are the cardboard model of my clock

now these are the backof my model

planning for my clock creation

My Example- I have to go to play tennis for school at saturday but I'm usually late so i want to make a clock that looks like with tennis court.

Class Example- I am always late to school

Design cycle- we use prime 

Prime- P-Problem

            R-Research

            I-Idea

            M-Make

            E-Evaluate

 Problem

        The Problem is the listing of Limitation and I will add more about it when we discuss it in the class.

      Research-
  Research is about what we need to find out about to make our clock.

            -Decide on the theme of clock

        -Then reseach some images that are relavent to my designs

          -Research what is a clock

         -Research how does the clock work

              -Research what components are in clock

               -We use acrilic so we can research what acrilic is.

            -Then research the similar designed clock and take a look at it.

         -What type of other materials can I use

            -What is my budget

          -How much will this all cost

            -Time frame

     -Have a go on using acrilic with making a letter holder.

                                                         

                                                                            Ideas

                                                             

         

                                                                 see the chart below

                                                                             Make

                                                    The M is simple it just stands for make,

           when I'm finished with making my clock I will take a picture of it and then i'll post it on here

                                        and also the picture below is the design sketch of my clock

E is a bit simple to

e stands for evaluate.

yes..... I'l come back to this later when i finish making my clock.
