The problem (also known as the Design Brief), is the problem that I am presented with and I must solve. For example, I may be required to make an animation for a Television Show.
RESEARCH
Research allows me to explore the all the different strategies I can use to solve the problem. I will also explore how other Designers have solved similar problems and what worked well for them. By looking at other designs, I will be able to have an better idea on how I can approach my design brief.
IDEAS
In the ideas section, I will further develop my ideas ready for the production (Make) stage. That way I will be adequately planned and prepared for the production. During ideas I may develop a script for my animation, possibly some sketches of characters and develop a story board that I can follow when creating my animation.
MAKE
During the make stage I will commence the development of my animation using the software and resources that I have decided upon. At times I may have to refer to my ideas to make sure I am heading in the correct direction and occasionally undertake more research in the use of software or other resources I may unexpectedly require.
EVALUATE
This allows me to reflect on my project and assess that my product solved the problem I was presented with. To do this I will use the Four (4) P's Model, which I have expanded upon below;
Product - Discuss if and how my product solved my problem.
Process - Discuss how I used the PRIME Design Cycle to assist in solving the problem.
Personal - Discuss how I used my time (i.e. time management) and also my class and home application.
Peers - Interview 3 to 4 people (class mates, family or friends) regarding your blogger and animation.
