Designing
and making is an aspect of Design and Technology that covers all the specialist
areas. It is the creative part, where you get to leave your mark, so make
the most of it!
This website
is designed to guide you through the process of designing and making.
In order
to do this, it is worth having a browse through all the pages before you
begin your project in order to get an idea of what is involved. You can
then use the design process to give you a framework in which to design
and build your product in bite-size stages. The folio guide should be
used alongside the design process guide, firstly to help you build a good
quality folio and secondly, so you can use it to support the designing
and making process.
The drawing
techniques pages will offer information on methods for completing the
working drawings you will need for your folio and for the manufacture
of your product.
There is
also a page of useful links, which will help with further research you
need for your project.
Top tips
for designing; make something that interests you or inspires you. It can
be something you would use yourself, or that you think would be a useful
item for others. It could be something that you think would be fun, like
a game or that improves your environment, from a desk tidy to a custom
made item of clothing. Be creative, and enjoy!
