• Writing a Design Brief - A good resource for level three students undertaking the negotiated brief 3.1

brilliant resource from Lesley Pearce and Anthony Kwan at Takapuna Grammar School on Design Elements, Principles and associated activities:
Attached information:
Here is the work we start our year 12 students on. I give them Function and elements of design to glue in the start of their visual diaries. They then head up a page with the title, e.g. Line, write their definition or the given one. Do aclass exercise on line and then find examples of the use of line form magazines, internet etc on a variety of areas, e.g. architecture, product design or media design. The other files I gave out if the students needed extra stimulus,

• Element headings......
• Function......
• The Elements......
• The Principles......

ideas for 3.2
show research of best practices for how project are presented.  How do architects present design ideas.

1. address the product (vacuum cleaning)

2. who are you presenting this to? write a statement demonstrating the purpose of the presentation

3. identify methods of presentation - contextualize to product and stakeholders/client

4. brainstorm all the possible methods: flip files, videos, photographs, CAD, display boards, CDs, modeling, power point

5. identify appropriate method

6. write justification

7. story boarding - how is each part of the design/visual material presented related to the presentation method (justified)
