Consideration of Design Factors relevant to the MDP Function How will my MDP work? Considerations: Aesthetics How will my MDP look? Will it be appealing? Considerations:

Consideration of Design Factors relevant to the MDP – pg2 Costs The cost of my MDP encompasses many facets. I must consider the following: The financial costs involved in designing, manufacturing Environmental costs including the impact of production on the environment, the impact of obsolescent products on the environment etc. Social costs such as any effect on accepted values, and changes to established cultural norms. The consideration of both short term (financial) and long term (environmental and social) costs as well. Considerations: Ergonomics Ergonomics refers to the relationship between the work environment and the people that work within that environment. Considerations:

Consideration of Design Factors relevant to the MDP – pg3 Safety The safety of a design in terms of its production, use and disposal will influence its success. The design should not pose any health hazards throughout its life cycle to the designer, producer or user. Safety in relation to designing and producing refers to: The safe use of tools, materials and techniques during all stages of the design process. The designer's legislative responsibility for the safety of the design projects they develop The health and safety in handling, use and storage of materials The health and safety in the use of techniques Legislative requirements Considerations:

Consideration of Design Factors relevant to the MDP – pg4 Durability How long should my MDP be expected to function? Considerations: Quality Quality has two dimensions: level and consistency. The level of quality refers to the ability of a product to perform its function for an acceptable period of time. The consistency of quality refers to consistently delivering the targeted level of quality to consumers. Quality refers to: Accuracy of Content, Materials Selected, Product Presentation, Function and Durability Considerations:

Consideration of Design Factors relevant to the MDP – pg5 Durability The ability of a design to last for its designated life in the situation or environment for which it has been targeted is a reflection on its durability. The cost of the end product is usually reflective to its durability in that; goods designed to last are generally more expensive. Considerations: Obsolescence Obsolescence refers to when the design is no longer of any use and must be either discarded or recycled. Obsolescence may also result from a design being no longer fashionable, or the design being environmentally unfriendly due to changed conditions or laws. Consideration:

Consideration of Design Factors relevant to the MDP – pg6 Sustainability Sustainability means the use of resources so that the natural reserves are not depleted too quickly. Sustainable development can be defined as development that improves the total quality of life, both now and in the future, in a way that maintains the ecological processes on which life depends. Sustainability of the resources used has become increasingly important in the development of environmental strategies at both national and international levels. Consideration: Recycle ability Materials and production methods which might improve the recycle ability of my MDP. Considerations:
