THE DESIGN CYCLE

By: William Ong High 1-C 23
What is the Design Cycle?
Diagram
The steps in the Design Cycle

•   Investigate
•   Plan and Design
•   Create
•   Evaluate
Let me use an example for this
              presentation:

Example:
   Making a CLE website about God’s love in your
high, low and normal points in life using
scriptures in the Old Testament with a group of three.

(to follow what I talk about go to this link for the project:
   http://wouong19.wix.com/hisunconditionallove )
Investigate
• phase of the
  research is to find
  solutions to the
  problem are
  described and
  problems.
  Information is
  collected on the
  subject
How to do this step
• Identify the problem
-What will my project be about?
-What problem will my project revolve around?

• Develop the design brief
- What will I place in my project?

• Formulate a design specification
- What points will I make for the project?
In my CLE project
1. The group first discussed what topic of God’s
   love will be tackled

2. We divided the parts and distributed it to
   each other

3. We discussed what to place in the website
Plan and Design
Plan and Design
• ideas are given to solve the problem and later
  collected

• phase of the product is designed and how it is
  planned to create such methods. The timeline
  is prepared
How to do this step
• Design a product
- What do I want my project to look like?

• Plan a product and make a solution
- What will be the solutions for the problem
  presented?
In my CLE project
1. We discussed what template to use for the
   website

2. We got ideas on what to place in the website

3. We gathered and organized our ideas
Create


• phase in which all ideas are put together and
  the product is created
How to do this step
• Use appropriate techniques and equipment
- What computer programs will I use?
- How will I do it?

• Follow the plan

• Create the product/ solutions
In my CLE project
1. We discussed on what website creator to use
   (which in our project we used wix.com)

2. We placed our gathered and organized ideas
   to the website

3. Created the product (designs, etc.)
Evaluate
• phase of the product is evaluated. The
  resulting product shall be reviewed not solve
  the problem it solves.
How to do this step
• Evaluate the product/ solution
- How did my finished product turn out?

• Evaluate the use of the design cycle
- Did I follow the design cycle?
In my CLE project
1. We all reread the website looking for
   mistakes

2. When we see we have a mistake, we change
   it

3. Placed the final touches and sent it to our
   teacher
What good comes out of using the
           design cycle

• Finishing the project faster (we finished our
  CLE project in one school day)

• More organized way of doing the project =
  Less mistakes & less confusion/ mess
FOLLOW THE DESIGN CYCLE FOR A
 BETTER GRADE WITHOUT THE
         STRESS!!!:D
