Week 1 -2 : RESEARCH STAGE
Project Structure.
At the End of week two each group must present a design research report and 3 mocked up concepts
End of week two YOU rewrite a draft of your brief for sign off.

Week 1-2: CONCEPT GENERATION
Project Structure.
End of week two you must present 3 concepts for
class discussion. You must be able to back up you design solutions with information.
Concept 1. Concept 2. Concept 3.
Match research to concepts.
Backup conclusions with facts.
Explain research methods used.
Explain the most effective research methods.
Give each concept equal attention.
Never assume.
