The Design Process - Part A
Often with all that goes on in a business (or
life) it is very difficult for the new designer
to actually think in a step by step process and
follow this through so that all the steps can be
checked off.
This tool is set up as a guide to take you through the basic design process
when setting up a project.
In it are steps for mapping the space and the clients requirements (even if
you are the client) developing a design, the resolve to back it up, and identifying
what is to go where using the appropriate documentation.
This process will entail some understanding of design and contract documentation
however even if you have no formal training and want to undertake a small project
for home use this process to ensure that you at least identify all the steps
that are necessary to complete the project. There will soon be an online tutorial
system to cover this in more detail as well as downloadable
forms to help with
this process.
Define the parameters of the project and map it by recording what is existing.
You must read this in conjunction with the Gant chart which demonstrates in graphical form the timeline. click here
Design Project Scope
Initially develop a form for the brief taking. It should follow within the
parameters listed below.
(note that many of the forms that outline the design process are online. Ensure
that you check the free downloads for copies of these to help with your professional
development and practice.)
