The design cycle involves 4 steps: 1) Investigating problems and brainstorming ideas, 2) Planning by choosing an idea and outlining the design, 3) Creating the product by following the plan, and 4) Evaluating the results to improve future projects. It is a process used to conceptualize, develop, and finalize a product or solution.

1. THE DESIGN CYCLE

2. INVESTIGATE When you figure out what is going on or the problem. You start to brain storm different ideas. EXAMPLE; making a house; Figure out where you want to build your house and the location

3. PLAN You choose one main idea you liked the most and you start to create an outline of your product. You start to design your product EXAMPLE: Make a outline of your house

4. CREATE You follow the outline/plan. You start to build/create you want to do. EXAMPLE: You start to create your house

5. EVALUATE Explain what the end result is and how this project will help out others. You then summarize what you did and how you will make this project better in the future. You also grade yourself on how you did. Example: Go over how your house ends up looking and adjust things around

6. SUMMARY OF THE DESIGN CYCLE The design cycle is a process you take to create and then finish what your product is.
