Design+Cycle+Notes

1. First step is to investigate.
 * Identify the problem - what do you need to solve?
 * Develop the design brief - a short statement of what you are going to make, why you are going to make, and for whom you are making it for.
 * Formulate a design specification - List the requirements, limitation and how will you "test" your project. Create a check list if necessary.

2. Second step is to plan.
 * Design a product/solution - use your research to create brainstorming ideas.
 * Plan a product/solution m- choose your best idea, and create steps to achieve your goal.

3. The third step is to create.
 * Use appropriate techniques and equipment.
 * Follow the plan - troubleshoot when you need too.
 * Create the product/solution.

4. The fourth step is to evaluate.
 * Evaluate the product/solution.
 * Evaluate the use of the Design Cycle.
