GCSE courseThe GCSE course consists of two units. Unit 1 involves the completion of a two hour written examination which will test your subject knowledge in the following areas: materials and components, design and market influences, paper engineering and manufacturing processes. Unit 2, often referred to as the Controlled Assessment Task (CAT), involves the completion of a single design and make activity.

The theme for the Controlled Assessment Task (CAT) is governed by a series of briefs set by the examination board. To complete Unit 2 successfully, you must produce a 3D outcome and a supporting design folder of no more than 20 concise A3 sheets. The mark allocation for Unit 2 is displayed below:

The Controlled Assessment Task is divided up into five areas for assessment. Criterion 1 refers to the investigation of the design context, in essence the ‘research’. Criterion 2 refers the designing and how you develop your chosen idea. Criterion 3 refers to the making, the 3D outcome. Criterion 4 refers to how you test and evaluate your work, not only at the end but throughout the whole design process. And finally, criterion 5 looks at the quality of your communication skills, your spelling, grammar and punctuation. Each one of these five criterions is then divided into three, four or five levels, each with its own mark band and corresponding descriptions.

CRITERION 1RESEARCH

What to do first…Like all your previous projects, the process of analysing the task or brief

is going to be the starting point for your Controlled Assessment Task. Only when this is complete will you know what to do next.

Task Analysis1. Graphically highlight all the words you feel are important.

2. For each keyword highlighted, construct a number of questions using: who, when, why, what, where and how? (fig. 1)

3. If carried out well, the Task Analysis should identify what you know and what you don’t know. Of the things you don’t know, you should identify methods of finding this information out, weather you intend

to use a book, the internet or visit a shop. This process of investigation is commonly referred to as ‘research’.

fig. 1

…sensitive to sustainability issues.

How can the sustainability issues concerning CD packaging be improved? I intend to look at the six Rs. Using recycled materials, reducing the amount of materials, reusing the product, refilling the packaging, refusing to use certain materials and issues concerning the repair of damaged packaging. I will ask my target audience which concept is most important to them.

What sustainability issues concern CD packaging? The plastic used is a non renewable resource and the paper will naturally come from trees. There is research to suggest that CDs are only used once due to developments in technology. I will research further into these issues by using the internet.

Criterion 1: Investigating the Design Context (Task Analysis)

designtechnology

TASK

Context

Promotion is important for a new product or an event.

Design Task

A group of students in your school have formed a band and want to complete a set of publicity material for their future events. The set

must include at

least a four fold CD case with CD and relevant information and a promotional item, which incorporates a smart material.

WHAT WILL THE SURFACE GRAPHICS BE?The graphics should match the imagery on the front face of the case. This will give it continuity.

WHY DOES SOMETHING NEED TO BE PROMOTED?A product needs to be promoted so it gains publicity. It is also so people know what is being promoted and if they would want it and therefore if they will buy it.

HOW DO OTHER COMPANIES BRAND A NEW PRODUCT?For a new product a company may have a logo saying “NEW” so the customer knows its new. Or they may just have an updated version of a previous product.

WHAT WILL THE AGE RANGE BE? WHERE WILL CONCERTS BE?The music is aimed at teenagers of secondary school age. This will be around 11 years old to 16. The concerts will be performed at school functions.

WHY GENRE OF MUSIC DO WILL THE BAND PLAY?The genre will be aimed at Pop, therefore overall most people will like the music as Pop can also fit in other genres as well.

WHAT WILL BE ON THE CD CASE?On the front face, should be the bands name, the album name and any imagery to enhance the appearance of it. One the inside front face should be copyright and publication information.On the back face, it should have a list of the songs and similar imagery to match the front.

WHERE WILL I GET THE INFO FROM?For the information that will be on the publicity material, I will ask the band members for anything that will be required.

WHAT EVENT(S) NEED TO BE PRMOTED FOR THE BAND? The band being promoted is a school band, so therefore they would play at school events, such as a band night. This promotion would be displayed around school so students know about it.

WHAT PUBLICITY MATERIAL DO EXISTING BANDS USE?Existing bands use a wide range of publicity material to be available to fans. Such as: Posters, t-shirts, key rings, badges and much more.

WHAT FUTURE EVENTS WILL THE BAND HAVE? To find out what future events the band will have, I will ask the band directly, or they would tell me when they find out.

WHAT PROMOTIONAL ITEM WILL BEST SUIT THE BAND?For this, I will research what other bands use to promote, the I will see which idea would best suit this band.

WHAT IS A SMART MATERIAL?Because I I don’t know what or how a smart material is used, I will have to do some research to find out what they are. This may include using the internet, or asking someone who knows.

Criterion 1: Exemplar Task Analysis

TASK 1ContextEnvironmental issues are becoming more and more important in our throw away society. Companies are taxed on the waste that they produce that is not recycled.Design Task‘RECYCLAPHONE’ a company who are environmentally aware and specialise in recycling and marketing mobile phones need to promote their product. Design, prototype and packaging a block foam mobile phone. The phone must be packaged for its safety and security and be presented with promotional material ready for launch to the public.

TASK 2ContextPromotion is important for a new product or an event.Design TaskA group of students in your school have formed a band and want to complete a set of publicity material for their future events. The set must include at least a four fold CD case with CD and relevant information and an item, which incorporates a smart material.

TASK 3ContextBooks that contain movement are now found in most book stores. They can be a source of pleasure to the readers.Design TaskDesign and make a book containing kinetic spreads that will enlighten its readers. The book must be produced in A5 size, either in landscape or portrait.

TASK 4ContextConfectionary items are sold by the wholesaler in a package called an outer. Often this outer doubles as a point of purchase display.Design TaskA luxury chocolate manufacturer feels the need to break into the cheaper counter confectionary line. It plans to market a confectionary item to be named by you. It will cost 20p and will be a solid geometric shape; it will be marketed directly on the shop counter from a point of purchase box. Design and make the wrapper, the point of purchase box and model the product in a suitable material to fit the wrapper. All the items need to be full size.

CORPORATE TITLE HERE

What to do next…When you have completed the Task Analysis, you should have identified areas for investigation (research). This investigation should

include analysing some existing products (Product Analysis) and investigating the potential market for for the product (User Profile).

Product Analysis1. If possible, dissemble an existing product and take several photographs of it (avoid getting some thing off the internet).

2. Start to analyse and annotate the product using the headings found on the slides.

3. When annotating, never provide just a statement. E.g. The CD sleeve has been printed using Off-set Lithography. Always provide a statement followed by a suggestion or a reason. E.g. The CD sleeve has been printed using Off-set Lithography because this is very fast and the quality is very good.

4. How do you know what to suggest or how do you know what reason to provide? Well in the past, you could always ask your teacher (as a source of research), not anymore! That’s the ‘investigation’ part of the task. You have to find out.

5. Most of the information you need can be found on the school website, www.canon-slade.bolton.sch.uk/tech.htm. If you can’t find it there, then you can use the coursework books in school or even go to the library. IMPORTANT. Any sources used should be noted on each slide.

6. Remember, make the sheets concise. Maximum point size of 12; Always use sub headings for your annotations; always use bullet points (get straight to the point), think about the visual impact of each sheet after all you are design students! Finally, check your spelling, grammar and punctuation.

Criterion 1: Investigating the Design Context (Product Analysis)

designtechnology

http://www.canon-slade.bolton.sch.uk/tech.htm

Function• Comment on what you feel are the principle functions of the product.• How well does the design of the product achieve these principles?• What could be done to improve them?• What about the ergonomics of the product?

Aesthetics (11)What does the product look like? Consider:• The colours used: colour psychology and colour combinations. Why

has the designer chosen these colours?• The layout: how is the information positioned in relation to each other?

Is it balanced, cluttered or confusing?• The style: try to describe the product’s style. Is it traditional, old

fashioned, sleek, classical, modern, grunge, calming, decorative, distressed, industrial or minimal?

• The imagery used: comment on the style and choice of the imagery used. Why has the designer chosen them?

• The texture used: comment on the textures used. Is it rough in one part and smooth on another, if so, why?

• The proportions used: Is the product symmetrical or asymmetrical?

Information (14 & 10.5)• What information is included on the product and WHY? • Be comprehensive. Look for: titles, barcodes, signs and symbols,

address details, logos, diagrams, eco logos, keys, diagrams, etc.

Dimensions• Measure all aspects/components of the product in millimetres.

Scale of Production (8.5)• Has the product been manufactured using one off, batch or mass

production? WHY?

Materials (7)• Which materials have been used to produce the product?• You must state why the designers have chosen that particular material.

Manufacturing (8)• Printing: which method of printing has been used and WHY? • Colours: how many colours have been used and how can you tell? • Printing effects: which printing effects have been applied and WHY?• Construction Methods: how has the product been put together?• Plastic forming: how has the product been made? How can you tell?

User Profile• Who is the product aimed at?• What do they think of the product?• What do they think about it’s function, aesthetics, materials, size, etc?

Good and bad points• Draw up a table of positive and negative aspects of the product.• These points should form the basis for your ‘design criteria’.

Safety• Is the product safe to use? Are there any areas for improvement?• Are there any lose parts or sharp edges?• Does the product display any safety standards, such as the kite mark?

Social, moral, environmental and sustainability issues (10)• What considerations have the designers and manufacturers made

regarding the social, moral, environmental and sustainability implication of the product?

For example:- Is there a parental advisory sticker on the CD sleeve because the lyrics

may cause offence?- Is the card or board recyclable or does the company make contributions

to the cost of recycling? - What impact has the product had on society?- What is the life expectancy of the product?- Has the product had a positive or negative impact on society?- Are the materials used renewable or non renewable?- Are there more sustainable alternatives available?

Criterion 1: Investigating the Design Context (Product Analysis)

designtechnology

INFORMATIONThere is lots of information on the album cover, such as: Band name, album name, Track list, barcode, copyrights, record company logos.

SCALE OF PRODUCTIONThe production of this product would be batch produced because the product will be popular and it needs to be able to meet demands, but will not need to be mass produced because it won’t be sold continuously.

FUNCTIONIt is to protect the CD from any scratches. Also it is used to promote the band and the album by the album cover. It is used to inform people about what the album contains. Also it makes it easier for it to be transported.

MANUFACTUREThis product uses offset lithography. This is because the process is fast and is very good quality. This is the most cost effective printing method for mass production.It uses five colours, CMYK for the images and for the main red colour, they use a spot colour, so it is the same colour on every product.To make it look glossy, a laminate layer has been added.To construct this a net has been die cut out and then glued together.

AESTHETICSThe colours used on the album are very bright and vibrant which are attractive to the customer but also reflects the 1960’s theme.The layout of the text is central to be in focus, however the image fills most of the front.The style is revolved around the iconic image from the 60’s but renewed to make it look modern. The image taken from 1967 was first designed by Peter Blake.MATERIALSThe material used to create this product would be solid white board. They would use this because it is a strong card which is bleached on both sides which is good for printing onto.

DIMENSIONS140mm wide, 125mm high, 8mm deep when folded.427mm wide, 125mm high, 2mm deep when open.The CD has a diameter of 120mm.

SOCIAL, CULTURAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUESThe packaging is made of card, which is a sustainable resource which is much better than using a plastic CD case. As it is made of card, it won’t last as long as other products, but it could be recycled into something new, which means less resources are needed to make something new. There is nothing to indicate if the CD has any explicit material on it so it shouldn’t cause any offence to anyone. This product should have a good impact because it is a well know product already, but it just looks modern and much more attractive.

Criterion 1: Exemplar Product Analysis (CD packaging)

designtechnology

INFORMATIONThere is lots of information on the album cover, such as: Band name, album name, Track list, barcode, copyrights, record company logos.

SCALE OF PRODUCTIONThe case is mass produced, as it can be used for any CD that requires it. Where as the booklet and graphics will be batch produced, so it meets required demands but isn’t over produced which wastes money.

FUNCTIONIt is to protect the CD from any scratches. Also it is used to promote the band and the album by the album cover. It is used to inform people about what the album contains. Also it makes it easier for it to be transported.

MANUFACTURE To print the booklet and the surface graphics, it uses off set lithography because it is of good quality and is fairly cheap when printing lots. The colours used will be CMYK because it is able to print all the different colours. The paper is varnished to give to prevent wear and so it is slightly water resistant. The CD case is made by injection moulded because it produces the complicated shape quickly and reliably.

AESTHETICSThe colour of the background is very dark, for two reasons. One, for the image to stand out, and the other to represent the darkness of the album, as it is called ‘Dark Side of the Moon’. The album does not have any text on the surface. This could be for effect, so the focus is more on the design. The image of the prism, refracting light, has little to do with the theme of the songs, and has become an iconic image itself.MATERIALSFor the case high impact polystyrene has been used so it is more resistant to damage. For the booklet and surface graphics a varnished paper has been used for good image quality.

DIMENSIONS140mm wide, 125mm high, and 10mm deep when closed. 125mm high, 275mm wide, 5mm deep when open. CD is 120mm in diameter.

SOCIAL, CULTURAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUESThe packaging is made of plastic, which is a non-renewable resource which is bad for the environment as it is not biodegradable. As it is made of plastic, it will last longer than other products, but it couldn’t be recycled into something new, which means less resources are available to make something new. There is nothing to indicate if the CD has any explicit material on it so it shouldn’t cause any offence to anyone. This product should have a good impact because it uses iconic imagery to make it immediately recognisable.

SCALE OF PRODUCTIONFor this product, it will have been batch produced. This is because it is a complex design and will have to be manually watched whilst machined, but enough are produced to meet requirement.

INFORMATIONOn the lower section, are two faces with information on. On one side it shows the dates and times of the shows and the website for more information. On the other side is the location of the shows and what they are featuring. FUNCTION

The main purpose of this product is to inform what the show is about an when it is. It is also for promoting, by using a complex design which shows off the ability the University has.

MANUFACTUREFor the main body of this display, it is most likely to have been laser cut because the design is too complicated for it to be manually cut out and would be time consuming. The laser cutter is much more precise, faster and the design can be repeated. For the information, it is a spot colour which has either been screen printed on, or they have used off set lithography if they are producing lots of them.

AESTHETICSThe design of this product is kept very minimal and simplistic. This gives it a modern and formal style. The complex design which incorporates the title of the exhibition, is used to prove that the University if Salford has the facilities to produce this sort of design. The colour of the text is a metallic pantone to contrast with the deep blue background colour. This also make the style very modern and formal.

MATERIALSThe material used for this is a textured blue board. They have used this board mainly because it is strong and can cope with the complex design.

DIMENSIONSWhen standing, it measures 210mm tall, 125mm wide and 105mm deep. When folded away, it is 155mm tall, 125mm wide and about 2mm deep.

SOCIAL, CULTURAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUESThis product has been made out of card which is a renewable source and doesn’t damage the environment as it can be recycled. It shouldn’t offend anyone because it doesn’t show any specific offensive material. The purpose of this product is to attract people to the show so artists and designers can show there work to the people in the local area. This creates a social event for people to go to.

How do I investigate the potential market?Even the most successful products produced aren’t aimed at everyone

in the world (the market). You need to identify who the ‘target audience’ is for your product(s) and what are their needs (profiling them). To find this out, you’ll have to ask them!

User ProfileFirstly, design a series of questions to ask your target audience. These

could range from, how they want the product to look (aesthetics); what information to include and how they’d like the product to perform (function).

Try and use closed questions. These are much easier to produce results from. E.g. Which combination of colours do you think would

best suit the image of a school rock band? A) Primary colours B) Dark colours C) Harmonious colours or D) Bright colours.

Analyse the results from your profiling. What are your findings? Remember these findings should influence the content of the ‘design

criteria and ultimately, your design ideas.

QUESTION 1 WHAT IMAGES SHOULD BE USED FOR THE SURFACE GRAPHICS?

QUESTION 7 HOW MUCH INFORMATION SHOULD BE ON THE COVERS?

QUESTION 9 HOW SHOULD THE LAYOUT OF THE FRONT COVER BE?

RESULTS From doing this questionnaire, I have found out that my target audience like more artistic and original design which will look more iconic. They also like bright vibrant colours with little information to stand out. This will help me to design the graphics, as I know what my target audience want.

Criterion 1: Exemplar Questionnaire, results and analysis of the results

designtechnology

CORPORATE TITLE HERE: USER PROFILE

What is the design criteria?The design criteria describes the restrictions and possibilities for the intended product. It is normally presented in a bullet point list and focuses on a number of areas, such as: the appearance of the product (aesthetics) and what the product needs to do (function).

What to do. 1. The list should be in bullet point format.

2. Each point should be accompanied by a small sentence explaining the importance of the point.

3. All ideas and developments should aim to meet the design criteria.

4. Include points to describe all of the following:

Function: What the product has to do.

Aesthetics:A description of how it should look, considering: colour, font styles, imagery and layout.

Dimensions: Details of sizes.

Information:What information needs to be included, such as: logos, titles, lyrics, track names, etc.

Criterion 1: Investigating the Design Context

designtechnology

My CD case may meet the following points:

Function

It must be able to promote the band. This will increase the popularity of the band and therefore increase sales.

It must protect the CD. This stops the disc from being scratched or broken so it is able to play the media without fault.

It must be easy to transport. This makes it easier and quicker for it to be transported, and it also makes it safer if the product can sit square.

It must be able to promote the band. Therefore people will get to like them and want to buy again, or buy for the first time because the images look good.

Aesthetics

It must look artistic and modern. This is because the band is young so it must reflect the genre of the music.

The font style must be original and modern. This is so the theme is continued throughout the product.

The colours must be bright and vibrant. This is to keep within the theme, and also to meet the target audience requirements.

The imagery must be bold and iconic. This is so the product stands out and shows that the band is different from other bands.

The layout of the product should be simplistic / minimalistic. This is to make the imagery stand out and to meet the target audience requirements.

Dimensions

It must be able to hold a CD. A CD has a diameter of 120mm. This is the main principle of the case.

It must comply to manufacturing limitations. This is so that it is possible to make and that materials aren’t wasted.

It must consider the hole at the centre of the CD. This is 14mm in diameter and is key because it cuts out part of the CD graphics. Also the centre which remains transparent is 39mm in diameter which will also cut away from the graphics.

It must have a geometric shape. This is so it is easier for transport and is less likely to be damaged in the process.

It must fit into a universal CD shelf / rack. This is so people can easily store it with other products.

Information

It must include the name of the band. This is so the consumer is able to know who the album is by. Also it gives the album a Brand.

It must include a Barcode. This is so the product is able to be purchased at a shop.

It must show the track names. This is so the consumer is able to find which track they want easily. Also it gives each track its originality.

It must include the record producers logo. This makes the product look professional. Also it shows that the product has be licensed and can be sold in shops.

It should show if it needs Parental Advisory. This shows that the CD has explicit material.

Materials

It must include a smart material. This is to promote the band further by making it more interesting.

The packaging must include a feature of sustainability. This is so the part of the product can be recycled so it isn’t wasting non-renewable resources.

The material must be able to meet all the requirements of it’s function and purpose. Such as being able to protect the CD from damage or it making the product easy to transport.

CORPORATE TITLE HERE: DESIGN CRITERIA

CRITERION 2IDEAS & DEV.

Initial IdeasThe first part of this section is to generate a wide range of ‘initial ideas’. These should be your initial thoughts to solving the design problem – speed is key in this section, otherwise you might forget a really good idea whilst you are spending an eternity just getting your 30 degree lines just right.

Be as creative and original as us can. Look for inspiration from the design books, posters and magazines in the classroom. If you’re still struggling, try generating a spider diagram using words associated with the design brief, such as, the name of the band or the theme of your pop-up book (see example on page 25).

What to do1. Produce a range of original and creative ideas

2. Try using a ‘word map’ to help broaden your ideas.

3. All the ideas must aim to meet your design criteria.

4. Test all your ideas against this design criteria.

5. Consult your target audience, what are their thought on the ideas?

6. Show off your graphical communication skills, consider using:• One point perspective• Two point perspective• Isometric crating• Schematic drawings• Enlargements• Cross-sections• Exploded view• Rendering or hatching techniques• Thick and thin line technique

What to do cont.7. Demonstrate a good grasp of grammar, punctuation and spelling.

8. Show off your technical language of the subject in your annotations.

9. Use arrows to indicate particular areas of importance.

10. Make sure each sheet in concise with little white space.

11. When designing always consider:• the social, moral, environmental and sustainability of each idea• the aesthetics (colour, font styles, layout and imagery)• the function (how it works)• the materials (what are the properties of the materials)

How do I show off my technical language?Analyse and annotate all your ideas. Use exactly the same headings you used to compile a concise and detailed product analysis.

The headings should include:• Function• Ergonomics• Aesthetics• Information• Dimensions• Materials• Target Audience’s thoughts• Safety• Social, moral, environmental and sustainability issues• Testing against the design criteria

What is the development stage?Once your target audience has decided on an initial idea, you can begin to develop it further. This is when your design should start to really take shape. The development section is the largest and most important part of the Design Process (it’s where all the experimentation and working out takes place).

What should I be doing in the development section?1. Still aim for originality & creativity in your developments.

2. Your development should include sketches, CAD, and models.

3. Model and prototype, using card, paper, Styrofoam, etc.

What’s a product/ / manufacturing speciation?The manufacturing specification comes at the end of the development phase, but before you start making the final outcomes. Like the ‘design criteria’, it should be presented in a series of bullet point statements and should explain exactly how to make the final product, hence the name ‘manufacturing specification’.

Include points to describe all of the following:

Materials: what will each part be made from & how much material is needed?Dimensions:: precise measurements for each part in millimeters?Tolerances: the maximum and minimum size each part can be.Quality Control: what needs to be checked & how and when to check it.Construction: explain exactly how each part will be made.Cost: how much will each part cost and detail any other costs involved.

CRITERION 3MAKING

MakingMost of the marks for this section are achieved by making a 3D outcome. You should be aiming to show a high level of making and modelling skills. For example: is the product folded correctly; do the edges line up; has it been neatly cut; does it fit together and are there any gaps? However, some of the marks for this section can be picked up in your portfolio.

How can I pickup marks for making in my portfolio?Record the making process using photographs and annotations. For example:

What tools have you used and why?Craft knife, safety rule, slot punch, etc.Which materials have you used and why?Able to print on to it, rigid, flexible or can be easily cut.What technologies have you used and why?Laser cutter, OPAS, milling machine, 3D Printer (Very important – you must explain the process of using

them)

How do I build Quality Control checks into my making?Nearly all products produced on a commercial level will need checks in place to ensure a quality product is produced every time. Refer to the next two slides for guidance.

Help?You are awarded marks for working independently and how you have solved designing and manufacturing problems. Think about what you have done in year 10 and in year 9.

FinallyDoes the final product look professional and is it suitable for the target audience (how do you know have you asked them)?

Criterion 2: Making

designtechnology

MaterialsI printed the badge design on to 80gsm paper. Good surface to print onto and is quite flexible for the pressing process.

Testing TA or DCMy TA preferred the pass to be encapsulated to add greater protection.

Testing TA or DCMy TA preferred the pass to be encapsulated to add greater protection.

Tools and equipmentThe design is placed on a steel blank and then covered with a piece of acetate. All of these parts are placed in a die.

Tools and equipmentThe ticket was manufactured using the same process as the back stage pass. However - I used a hand held rotary cutter to perforated the ticket stub.

QCI’ve added a bleed area to the design to prevent a white halo on the badge - also I have printed a guide for the circle cutter.

QCWith both the ticket and the backstage pass - some additional trimming of the edges was necessary to ensure a quality

Testing TA or DCThe initial feedback from the TA was very positive with no significant areas from modification or improvement.

MaterialsBoth the front and back of the backstage pass were printed onto 80gsm paper - these were then laminated on to a piece of 280gsm board.

ToolsThe hole for the lanyard was punched/cut using a slot punch.

Criterion 3: Exemplar Record of Making

designtechnology

Tools and equipmentTogether with the plastic backing - all the parts are pressed together to form the completed badge.

MaterialsBoth the front and back of the ticket were printed onto 80gsm paper - these were then laminated on to a piece of 280gsm board.

MaterialsI used Solid white board to print the 4 fold CD packaging onto. This material has a good surface to print onto and it can also be recycled.

Tools and equipmentI set the print out up in a ‘profile cutter’. Using the Net which I drew in 2D Design tools - I then programmed the machine to cut the RED lines and to score the BLACK line.

ModificationsTo improve the presentation of the packaging - I printed black on the inside as well as the surface graphics on the outside.Unfortunately - The print outs didn’t quite match up - therefore if I was to manufacture the NET again - I would have to align the prints better.

CAD CAMI have used the process of CAD CAM to design and manufacture the 4 fold CD packaging.The machine used to cut the NET was called a ‘profile cutter’

MaterialsI used a self-adhesive vinyl to make the CD cover and some additional promotional stickers. This left a very good quality print and enabled me to stick the design to a CD.

Environmental issuesDue to the shape of the NET cut from the card - there is some waste material - I tried to use this waste material in the production of the tickets and backstage pass.

QCI did this process twice - as the first attempt had too many bubbles visible.

ManufactureI used the same manufacturing processes used on the 4 fold CD - to manufacture the POS display

QCI checked to make sure the registration marks where present and level

QCOnce the machine had finished cutting and scoring the board - I checked to see if the blade had cut all the way through the material

Testing TA or DCThe TA were a little confused as how to assemble the 4 fold CD to enable it to lock into place.

Testing TA or DCThe TA were a little confused as how to assemble the 4 fold CD to enable it to lock into place.

CAD CAMTo make the stickers and the CD label I used the process of CADCAM.This enabled me to design the surface graphics using CAD - design a cut profile in CAD and then I programmed the Versa CAMM to print and then kiss cut the CAD profiles I had drawn.

Tools and equipment usedI removed the waste vinyl and then transferred the sticker onto the surface of the CD using application tape. I used a squeegee to remove any bubbles from view.

Tools and equipmentOnce the POS had been cut and scored - I glued it together using a multi-purpose adhesive and added the titles using self-adhesive pads.

What is QA (Quality Assurance)?Companies have long realised that cost is not the only influencing factor for manufacturer and consumer choice. Factors such as: build quality, consumer service, performance and quality of design dictate why one product is chosen over another. The term ‘Quality Assurance’ relates to all aspects of the manufacturing process, from the early stages of design right through to the delivery of the product.

What is QC (Quality Control)?Quality Control is a small part of Quality Assurance. It involves a series of checks, which take place on a product during the manufacturing process. The checks are carried out to ensure that each product meets the required standards. These checks are a crucial part of the manufacturing process and can take place at anytime. Possible checks may include:

1. Checking the size of the product or component2. Checking for spelling mistakes3. Checking the consistency of the colour 4. Checking the registration of the colours.

How can I show that I’ve considered QA and QC in my project?One method of showing QA would be to design a flowchart building in quality control checks throughout the manufacturing stages.

What is a flowchart and why use them?Flowcharts allow us to present a sequence of activities in a clear and informative manner; such as the manufacturing of a product to ensure quality control checks are made. Like many forms of communication, a need for standardisation is required in order for others to interpret the information. Flowcharts use a series of shapes to help communicate the information.

Standardisation in flowcharts

The lozenge shape illustrates the start & finish of the flowchart.

The rectangle contains a process or task.

The diamond shape represents a decision to be made.

The parallelogram represents a point of input or a point of output.

This shape represents a point of adjustment.

Criterion 2: Making (Quality Assurance and Quality Control - 1)

designtechnology

Example 1The example shown is very basic and could be more detailed (and effective). It does not take into account how much water to use and how long to leave the tea bag in the water. To obtain this information, the flowchart needs feedback loops.

Feedback loopsIf a decision is needed to be made which results in a yes or no response then a feedback loop is added. Depending on the response, the flow may carry on or follow the path of the loop. If this is the case, then an adjustment must be made before asking the question again.

An example of a more detailed and effective flowchart is given in example 2.

CORPORATE TITLE HERE: FLOWCHART

CRITERION 4EVAL. & TEST.

Formative testing and evaluatingFormative evaluating forms throughout the design process. Every time you make a decision or judgement about your work it should be in relation to the contents of your design criteria, manufacturing specification or your target audience's thoughts.

Summative testing and evaluatingSummative evaluating occurs at the end of the design process (summarising). It specifically judges how well the final product meets the design criteria or the manufacturing specification.

For a detailed summative evaluation:• always write in third person (Don’t write: I think or I like);• always include sketches detailing how to impove the product;• answer every point listed in the design criteria or manufacturing

specification;• always include the opinion of a third party - ideally the client or

someone from the target audience;• compile a questionnaire to ask your target audience;• use photographs to support and describe aspects of the product;• refer to your modifications list to help explain why aspects of the

product were changed.

Evaluating how the product could be manufactured in industryAt the end of the summative evaluation, consider how the product could be made (manufactured) on an industrial scale. Clearly their would need to be some modifications in order of this to occur. Simply, list these modifications and then comment how it would be produced commercially. For example: Which method of commercial printing would be used and why; how would the product be constructed commercially or which plastic manufacturing method would be used to produce the product and why.

TestingThe testing procedure is an essential part of the design process. All products will have to undergo many tests before they are manufactured and released onto the market. We can break the testing procedure into two areas: physical testing and consumer testing (or asking the target audience), both should occur throughout the design process.

Physical testingA physical test would be carried out to ensure the product is fit for purpose, meeting all the points listed on in the design criteria and the manufacturing specification. For example, a POS Display will have to be tested to ensure:

• it has good stability;• it can be disassembled for postage;• it is strong and rigid.

Consumer testingIt is also important to gather opinions from the product’s intended users (the target audience). In industry, consumer tests are carried out on a selection of the target audience to obtain essential opinions.

These tests normally involve a questionnaire or a simple ranking test. Consumers are asked if the product meets their needs and why. This helps the design team to improve the product’s function and aesthetics.

How do I test and evaluate my ideas and artefacts?Evaluating is the process of critically and objectively questioning how well the design ideas or the final product meets the design criteria or the manufacturing specification. Testing and evaluating IS NOT a section which simply occurs at the end of the design process. Good testing and evaluating should appear at various stages throughout the design folder. We can break the evaluation process into two areas: formative testing and evaluating and summative testing and evaluating.

How well does the case promote the band?The Case promotes the band well. This is because the bands name is clearly visible. Also all other products related have the same imagery, therefore it is recognizable.

How well does it protect the CD?The case is made from strong materials e.g. plywood and aluminum. This makes the case impact resistant and protects the CD extremely well.

Is it easy to transport the case? The case is squared shape, so it can be easily stacked and stored. This reduces the amount of space wasted during transportation.

How well does it inform the audience of the band?1)0% 2)5% 3)15% 4)20% 5)60%These figures show that most of my target audience thinks that it does a good job of informing. However some other people disagree which means it may lack some information.

Aesthetics

Does it look artistic and modern? My target audience rated this category high. Therefore they think that the design looks artistic and modern. This is because mainly of the materials used.

Are the font styles original and modern? The case used quite simple fonts. However my target audience think that the fonts have been used effectively. This shows the fonts complement the simplistic and minimalistic look of the case.

Are the colours bright and vibrant? The colours used are bright colours. However not all of them are vibrant as some are purposely dull. This reflected in how the target audience rated it.

Is the imagery bold and iconic? The imagery used is very iconic. This is mainly due to the theme of the band. As the target audience predominantly agree with this, it has fully met the design criteria.

Is the layout of the product simplistic / minimalistic?The case has little amounts of graphics and detail. This is so the materials used are reocognised. This is in keeping to the design criteria and the target audience are also satisfied by the outcome.

Does it include the name of the band? The band name is include twice all together; One the case and the other on the case. 100% of the target audience gave this rating 5 which is the highest.

Does it show the track names?Again just as the band name, the target audience were fully satisfied that the track names were clearly shown.

Does it include the record producers logo? The producers logo is only on the CD. This meant some of the target audience didn’t think it should get the highest rating as they think it should be on the case as well,

Materials

Does the packaging include a feature of sustainability or renewable resources?Most of the case is made from renewable sources such as the main body which is made of plywood and the hinge which is made of card.

Is the case widely recyclable?Some of the target audience thought that the only parts of the case were recyclable. However others thought if the all the different components where separated, most of the case would be recyclable.
