Controlled Assessment Section 2
This section is about being creative then using your specification to guide your designing by developing a few ideas then finalising your design by evaluating against your specification.
Conceptual ideas

Create a page of about 10 or 12 ideas
Initial Ideas (2a)
In this section you need to include the following on two sheets of A3 bordered paper: You have two lessons to do this which equates to 5 minutes per sketch with 4 minutes to write evaluative comments for each design.
· Freehand sketches of at least 10 ideas for your project (5 on each sheet) Alternate sheets!
· Of these 10 ideas there should be at least 4 different starting points from the list we have covered:
Natural Shapes
E.g. leaf/ tree/
Regular Shapes
E.g. circles/rectangles’/triangles (combined or taken away)
Existing Designs
E.g.: using your knowledge of what an item looks like that you know
Messy Scrawl
E.g. let your pencil scrawl all over the page like “Mr messy” and pick out shapes
Building Out
EG: Start with what needs to fit in and design around it
Alternative Designs
Eg use the shape of a building to design a clock
· Write as many evaluative comments for each design (use your specification)

Development of Design Proposals (2a)
In this section you need to include the following on three sheets of A3 bordered paper: You have two lessons to do this which equates to 20 minutes per sketch with 10 minutes to write evaluative comments.
· Choose the best three ideas from the previous sheets and freehand sketch them in greater detail, with material and sizes, construction techniques, etc . One design per sheet. (each design should be noticeably different and preferable with different material construction techniques)
· Explain why you have chosen each design from the initial ideas (Include in your reasoning: moral, social and environment issues)
· Each design should show thickness and type of material
· Each design should say how it could be made
· Add suitable sizes to show that the designs are possible
· Using your specification again write at least 6 evaluate comments for each design

Final Design Development (2b)
In this section you need to include the following on three to five sheets of A3 bordered paper:
· Explain which design you have chosen to develop and say why (refer back to your specification) – reasons could include client feedback, cost or design limits.
· Include in your reasoning: moral, social and environment issues
- Develop your design to a stage where you know it will work, include sizes and manufacturing techniques. This bit will be scrappy and messy so don't throw anything away!
- Model it full size in card accurately as best as you can and test it to make sure that things fit
· Explain the development that you have done (this work is probably on scrappy bits of paper and in Google Sketchup).
· Develop a cutting list explaining why you are using that material (can use the environment bit here if you are using recycled materials).
· Do a gantt chart for organisation time planning.
· Make a detailed plan to include:-
o Action
o Quality Assurance (what will it look like at the end of this stage)
o Tools and materials needed
o Any safety issues and how you will make the action safer (eg mask to reduce dust)
o Time (how long you think each step will take)
