2. Designing Range of skills: – 2D – 3D (isometric, perspective) – CAD – Modelling

3. Brief and Specification - Page 1 Layout Design Brief Specification Brief and Specification

4. Design Brief Digital cameras are all very similar and many take little account for the wide range of activities and people that use them. I am going to design and model a model digital camera for _______________. The camera should be innovative and fashionable* to appeal to the customer. The camera must be durable and have a long battery life. * Theme / retro / vintage / ergonomic / creative / fun / lightweight / portable

5. Specification Headings: – Ergonomics (comfort, sizes etc) – Materials (properties eg durability etc) – Aesthetics (looks / appearance) – Function (what should it do) – Safety (small parts, sharp edges, non- toxic etc) – Customer – Environmental Issues – Moral Issues – Social Issues Specific Measurable Justified For the camera AND the packaging Using number system 1.1, 1.2 etc

6. Example

8. Initial Ideas – Page 2 4 ideas (1 per quarter of a page) Number each idea (Idea 1,Idea 2,Idea 3,Idea 4) Annotate – Strengths and weaknesses (& why) – Specification points – User – Materials (& why) – Processes (& why) – Extra detail / zoomed in views – Alternatives / development

11. Initial Ideas 2 – Page 3 4 ideas (1 per quarter of a page) Number each idea (5,6,7 etc) Done using CAD (2D Design & Adobe Photoshop) Annotate – Strengths and weaknesses (& why) – Specification points – User – Materials (& why) – Processes (& why) – Extra detail / zoomed in views – Alternatives / development – Models (laser cut)

12. Modelling Use modelling to test features (like proportions, scale, function, sub-systems etc) Modelling must be presented using clear, well- annotated photos.

16. 3D Ideas – Page 4 & 5 4 3D ideas (2 per page half page for each) Chosen from previous ideas Changed SIGNIFCANTLY Isometric (exploded view if necessary) Annotate – Strengths and weaknesses (& why) – Specification points – User – Materials (& why) – Processes (& why) – Extra detail / zoomed in views – Alternatives / development – Models (probably styrofoam) – photos in situ – Comment on the models (ergonomics etc)

22. Models Accurate sizes Testing ergonomics High quality finish Detail

23. Models

26. Final Design – Page 6 One of the 4 3D ideas, changed SIGNIFICANTLY Comment what has changed AND WHY Drawn using CAD (Solidworks) – Rendered isometric – Rendered other views – Working drawing (orthographic) – Photos of final model (done using the 3D printer) A table justifying the materials and processes A table evaluating against the specification

32. Packaging Ideas – Page 7 2 3D ideas (half page for each) Isometric exploded view Nets with key Annotate – Strengths and weaknesses (& why) – Specification points – User – Materials (& why) – Processes (& why) – Extra detail / zoomed in views – Alternatives / development – Models (card nets by hand or using the laser cutter) – Comment on the models (ergonomics etc)

37. Final Packaging – Page 8 Drawn using CAD (2D design and Adobe Photoshop, plus solidworks) – Net with graphics on – Rendered tray / insert A table justifying the materials and processes A table evaluating against the specification
