Iterative design developmentThis design exercise will develop your iterative designing capability. Iterative design development is the process of analysing, evaluating and modifying designs, then repeating the process until a suitable design is found. You will start with a hazy idea for a candle holder and develop the idea into a clear and detailed design. |

An image showing the Flash animation logo is a link to a Flash animation. Flash animations are embedded into the pages of all my D&T Modules but there are pictorial links to the animations on this web site so that devices that cannot play Flash animations will at least show a jpeg screenshot of the animation. If your PC or personal digital assistant (PDA) can play Flash animations you may click on an image showing the Flash animation logo to view the animation in a new window. |
Recording your ideas
Use notes and sketches to record your ideas as they develop. Each of your ideas and designs should be analysed and evaluated to check if an improvement can be found. Each improvement should be recorded, then analysed and evaluated again.
Your final design must be drawn to scale using orthographic projection.
