Design process and product 75%
- Part 1: Design process 25%
Students use the design process to investigate and analyse existing products for their features and aesthetics, research and discuss relevant issues, and then design and plan to make a product (solution) based on what features and aesthetics appeal to them. This is an independent design assessment with a written evaluation - a maximum of 500 words or a 3-minute multimodal equivalent.
- Part 2: Students create and evaluate the product - solution 50%
