  1. The Design Process By Gamal Prather

  2. THE DESIGN PROCESS • The design process is an engineering activity that turns a concept into reality. • The concept is a solution to a specific problem or a perceived need.

  3. THE DESIGN PROCESS • The process from concept to solution is not random. • It is a logical sequence of steps to develop the best solution to a specific problem.

  4. THE DESIGN PROCESS • The design process is not a one-way street ending in the finished product.

  5. THE DESIGN PROCESS • It is a series of stages and check-points where each step in this process can be reviewed and analyzed. • Modifications or refinements can be made to the concept.

  6. 7 STAGES IN THE DESIGN PROCESS • Problem Identification • Conceptualization • Refinement of Preliminary Ideas • Design Analysis • Development and Implementation • Optimization • Presentation

  7. STAGE 1: IDENTIFY PROBLEMS • Market research • Design Brief • Identification constraints • A CRITICAL stage

  8. STAGE 2: DEVELOP CONCEPTS Concept sketches of cycling shoes • Ideation • Brainstorming (words) • Sketching (images) • Data collection • Information resources

  9. STAGE 3: REFINE IDEAS • Identification of workable, realistic solutions • Develop detailed, annotated sketches • Graphical analysis of possible solutions

  10. STAGE 4: DESIGN ANALYSIS • Compare alternatives and specifications • Create a Decision Matrix • Generate alternate solutions • Reduce # of potential solutions

  11. A Design Matrix • Using a matrix, select a workable solution

  12. STAGE 5: DEVELOPMENT & IMPLEMENTATION • Preliminary documentation of the final design • Engineering drawings (ie. Multi-view drawings) • Prototyping of the selected design • Testing and Analysis of prototype

  13. STAGE 6: OPTIMIZE • Reassess design specifications • Implement modifications • Update 3D models and engineering drawings

  14. STAGE 7: PRESENTATION • Oral report • Written report • Visual aids • Models • Powerpoint Slideshow • Videos
