G7 Tech Class #33

As you know the Second step in the Design Cycle is the Design Stage.

At this point you should have a well thought out Problem statement and a clear set of points under Design Specification that you stated in your Investigation stage.

Think of different ways that you could approach the problem, you need at least three. These should be different approaches to the problem not just changes in colour or arrangement. The idea is to explore different solutions.

For each different solution:

•  present a visual representation, this could be a single picture or a storyboard depending on what you are trying to show. 
• a description of what will happen and/or what the user will be able to do with the program. 
• The designs should be complete enough to clearly show the differences between them.

Remember that each design is then critically evaluated using the Design Specifications; make sure to point out the shortfalls in the programs. It is expected that you find some problems with your designs, which could then be improved.

Choose one design that best represents the solution you have decided to use (meets most Design Specifications) and justify your choice. 

You can use this G7 Project 3: Design Stage Draft, as your starting point.

Don't forget to include the Assignment Standards!! (header, footer, and more) and to make your Process Journal entry of the day!
