Research & Explore Designs​​

​

Start by exploring the product brief:

​

• Do they crack, break, or wear out easily?

• Are they plain, slippery, or difficult to use?

• Is something missing that could make life easier or more fun?

• Look at similar products in shops or online:

• What colours, shapes, or styles are popular?

• What materials are commonly used—plastic, rubber, fabric, metal?

• Do any items have unique features—light-up parts, clever storage, or multi-use functions?

​

Investigate what’s already out there:

​

• Find popular designs people love and use often

• Notice what makes them work—and what could be improved or done differently

• Define your customer; Kids, teens, adults, artists, gamers, sports fans?What features, colours, or designs would they love?

​

Become creative detectives: explore real-world problems, spot opportunities, and discover who could benefit from your ideas!

Design and Create

​​

Dive into designing, sketching, and imagining how your creation should look, feel and work.

​

• Think about Fit, Form & Function:

• What shape will your design take?

• How will it solve the problem outlined in your brief?

• Could it include clever features that make it more useful or fun to use?

• Explore different materials and how they affect strength, comfort, and usability.

​​

Focus on aesthetics:

​

• What colours, textures, or finishes will make your idea stand out?

• Could you include patterns, symbols, or eye-catching visuals to reflect your user’s style?

​

Think outside the box:

​

• Can your idea do more than expected?

• Is there a smarter or more creative way to solve the challenge?
