You MUST have by then:
1) the Spidergram/'Brainstorm' you did for the last homework
2) the Design Brief for the sports drinks label project
3) the Specification for the sportdrinks label project
It is important they are done as the next step is drawing the Initial Designs and those must relate to the Spidergram, Design Brief and Specification.
The ‘Specification’ is usually a list of points, with each point referring to your research. The specification needs to be based on your research.
Below is an example of a Specification (NOT for a drinks label!!):
1. The materials I will use will be compressed polystyrene, pine and MDF .
2. The overall shape will depend on the shape of the room.
I will base the dimensions on statistics worked out as part of my research.
3. I intend to use a colour scheme based on red and blue because these are the most popular colours.
4. The item will stand on a desk or be fixed on a wall.
5. I will need the following tools/machines to manufacture my item: a lathe, drilling machine, hand files, a vacuum former.
6. The item is aimed at the 12-15 age group as my research suggests this would be the most successful market.
