Video 2 – Idea Generation
Divide a sheet of A4 paper into two sections.
On one side of the paper, identify all the problems that you
experience in your daily life. On the second half, identify
potential solutions to these issues.
You should try to identify as many problems and solutions as
possible before selecting one idea that you will focus on for
this challenge.
Video 3 – Identify your solution
You must now consider how your chosen idea will address
your identified problem.
How will it work? What will it be made of? What size will it be?
What special features will it have? How will you ensure that it
is easy to use?
Create a draft design of your product and make adaptations
till you are happy with your design concept.
Video 4 – Creating your product design
You should now create a detailed design sketch of your final
product.
You should annotate your design to explain any special
features or accessories and to explain how this product will
address or alleviate your identified problem or issue.
You should also create a brand identity for your new product
which could include a product name, logo and/ or brand
colours.
