The Design Process

The key features:

First feature:

Discover - This would be the start of the whole design process, it would be where you get your inspiration for the project. You would start by writing down your first initial ideas and thoughts that make you think of that company or client you are designing for. You could get these ideas from the internet, magazines other people you know or maybe work with and for the broad ideas you would brain storm these down.

Define - The next step to the design process would be define, this is where you take your initial ideas that you have just come up with and pick the ideas that are suited better for the business or client and that meet the design brief. This could mean it being of a certain colour, shape or size.

Develop - Develop is where you have chosen your final ideas from your initial ones. From here you start developing these ideas into a product or what is required for the custormer. You would normally develop a few different ideas to keep some variety for the design and give the client a wide range to choose from.

Deliver - This would be the final process of the Design process, its where you deliver the final piece of work to the client. You should be showing them the final design, this final design should be a build up of where your initial ideas started. But this final piece of work should meet all the requirements of the design brief and any of the client.

These are the four main parts of a Design Process, if these are followed in the same way or a very simliar way the designing of the product should run smoothly, and you should be able to look back at your process and see where you have gone from one step to the next.
