Understanding the Investigation Phase of the Design Cycle

This overview delves into the vital investigation phase of the design cycle, emphasizing the importance of identifying problems and developing a design brief. Initiating with a restatement of the problem and utilizing T.O.I (Tool of Investigation), designers can form guiding questions that help clarify their research needs. It also covers analysis techniques including materials, ergonomics, aesthetics, and functionality. By employing brainstorming methods like spider diagrams, surveys, and mood boards, designers can effectively gather insights and structure their design approach, ensuring a more informed and innovative outcome.

  1. Parts of the Design Cycle: Investigation By Payton and Kaliann

  2. Develop the Design Brief Formulate a Design Specification Identify the Problem Investigate

  3. Parts of Investigation Identify the Problem • Restate what you have been asked to do • Examine the problem using T.O.I • Write guiding questions to help you decide what you need to find out • Develop the design brief

  4. Parts of Investigation Identify the Problem The Design Brief Look at how others solved this problem Analysis: Materials, ergonimics,aesthetics,form,function,design idea Find properties Construction tchniques Tools/skills you need Brainstorming: Spider diagrams Themes(likes/dislikes/needs) Surveys(who is this for Mood boards • Restate what you have been asked to do • Examine the problem using T.O.I • Write guiding questions to help you decide what you need to find out • Develop the design brief

  5. Parts of Investigation Identify the Problem Formulate Specifications Select the information that you will need to research Describe how you will test your design The Design Brief • Look at how others solved this problem • Analysis: Materials, ergonimics,aesthetics,form,function,design idea • Find properties • Construction tchniques • Tools/skills you need • Brainstorming: • Spider diagrams • Themes(likes/dislikes/needs) • Surveys(who is this for • Mood boards • Restate what you have been asked to do • Examine the problem using T.O.I • Write guiding questions to help you decide what you need to find out • Develop the design brief

  6. Terms: • Ergonomics: human engineering • Aesthetics: look and feelings towards your product

  7. Summary • Restate the problem • Create design Brief • Formulate a design specification • Investigation is an important part of the design cycle because it gives you an idea of what you are doing. It also explains how you should improve your design. On top of that is also really important because it gives you guiding questions to help keep you on track; solve the problem; and what you need to better your product. That is why it is such an important part of the design cycle.
