THE DESIGN CYCLE

By: William Ong High 1-C 23

What is the Design Cycle?

Diagram

The steps in the Design Cycle

• Investigate• Plan and Design• Create• Evaluate

Let me use an example for this presentation:

Example: Making a CLE website about God’s love in yourhigh, low and normal points in life usingscriptures in the Old Testament with a group of three.

(to follow what I talk about go to this link for the project: http://wouong19.wix.com/hisunconditionallove )

Investigate

• phase of the research is to find solutions to the problem are described and problems. Information is collected on the subject

How to do this step

• Identify the problem-What will my project be about?-What problem will my project revolve around?

• Develop the design brief- What will I place in my project?

• Formulate a design specification- What points will I make for the project?

In my CLE project

1. The group first discussed what topic of God’s love will be tackled

2. We divided the parts and distributed it to each other

3. We discussed what to place in the website

Plan and Design

Plan and Design

• ideas are given to solve the problem and later collected

• phase of the product is designed and how it is planned to create such methods. The timeline is prepared

How to do this step

• Design a product- What do I want my project to look like?

• Plan a product and make a solution- What will be the solutions for the problem

presented?

In my CLE project

1. We discussed what template to use for the website

2. We got ideas on what to place in the website

3. We gathered and organized our ideas

Create

• phase in which all ideas are put together and the product is created

How to do this step

• Use appropriate techniques and equipment- What computer programs will I use?- How will I do it?

• Follow the plan

• Create the product/ solutions

In my CLE project

1. We discussed on what website creator to use (which in our project we used wix.com)

2. We placed our gathered and organized ideas to the website

3. Created the product (designs, etc.)

Evaluate

• phase of the product is evaluated. The resulting product shall be reviewed not solve the problem it solves.

How to do this step

• Evaluate the product/ solution- How did my finished product turn out?

• Evaluate the use of the design cycle- Did I follow the design cycle?

In my CLE project

1. We all reread the website looking for mistakes

2. When we see we have a mistake, we change it

3. Placed the final touches and sent it to our teacher

What good comes out of using the design cycle

• Finishing the project faster (we finished our CLE project in one school day)

• More organized way of doing the project = Less mistakes & less confusion/ mess

FOLLOW THE DESIGN CYCLE FOR A BETTER GRADE WITHOUT THE

STRESS!!!:D
