Now it's time to move on to the 2nd stage of the Design Cycle.

Next is the DESIGN (Criterion B) stage of the Design Cycle.

• Students are expected to generate several feasible (3) designs that meet the design specification and to evaluate these against the design specification.

• Students are then expected to select one design, justify their choice and evaluate this in detail against the design specification.

To get a 5/6: The student generates more than two (2) feasible designs, and attempts to evaluate them against the design specification. The student attempts to justify the chosen design and evaluate it against the design specification.

Tasks:

1. Generate (make) 3 different but possible, detailed designs of your business card (include font, font size, font colour, logo, etc)
2. Evaluate each design against your design specification (one way to start is: Design 1 meets my design specification because . . .),
3. Choose 1 design and write a paragraph to justify your choice (fully and critically justify your choice against the design specification - include pros/cons, compare/contrast against the other designs).

IB Learner Profile Focus - Thinker

Learning Objective: The student will: generate a range of designs that attempt to meet the design specifications; compare the designs against the design specifications and identify the pros and cons of each design; select one design and explain its choice.
