5. Key considerations: The pencil holder must be visually appealing It must be able to hold at least 5 pencils The pencils must be easy to see and easy to access from the piece The design of it must reflect its use What constraints (limits) must we work on in this project in relation to… Cost? Materials? Time? Size and proportion? Sustainability? Skills ?

6. Research and investigation: Research and investigation is completed to gain information and knowledge on possible solutions to the design problem. This information and knowledge will help you to develop ides for your own design. Lets take a look at some images related to our brief…

7. Development of design ideas: Sketch your ideas: Remember the key considerations.

8. Choice of solution:

9. Evaluation of solution: 1.Evaluate your product. Write 2 sentence to describe the look function safety colour material style Features 2.Write a paragraph reflecting on how well you worked in the work room.
