=wikiddesign - supporting design and technology project work=




 * This wikispace is designed for students who are studying Design and Technology based subjects. It contains a range of useful strategies and approaches that aim to help you to become a better designer. It includes links to a 'toolkit for designing' that provides a flexible framework that should help you to structure your design activity more effectively.**

=Where to start ? ....... the Design Process.....?=

You may often see references to the **'design process'** but anyone involved with the field of design will recognise that there is really no such thing as **//__a__//** design process. When research into designing was first carried out back in the 1960's it was often represented as a rather simplistic, linear model. More recent studies acknowledge that the way in which designers work is a rather more complex, cyclical activity. To find out more see Design Process

The starting point of the design process, and possibly one of the most challenging tasks facing any designer is that of identifying design opportunities. (See also Power point )
