3short Q&A pairs drawn directly from our worked dot-point answer. For full context and worked exam questions, read the parent dot-point page.
What is research?Show answer
Research gathers the information needed to design well. It covers:
What is producing the solution?Show answer
Production realises the design as a physical or digital product, system or environment. You apply appropriate materials, tools, techniques and finishes, maintaining quality control against the criteria at each stage. Skilled, safe and accurate production is directly assessed in the Major Design Project.
What is ongoing evaluation?Show answer
Evaluation is not a final step bolted on at the end. It runs throughout, comparing each decision against the criteria and feeding back into earlier stages. This iteration is what makes the design process a cycle rather than a line. A prototype that fails a test sends you back to develop a better idea.
