original work and must not be plagiarized(copied from some other source) or peer
plagiarized (peer's ideas/work copied as their own in the responses)

Objective
Students will investigate and analyze a problem, considering the needs of a specific
audience, and develop a design brief that outlines the findings of relevant research.
Criteria A: Inquiring and Analysing
(i) Explain and justify the need for a solution to a problem for a specified client/target
audience
(ii) Identify and prioritize the primary and secondary research needed to develop a
solution to the problem
(iii) Analyse a range of existing products that inspire a solution to the problem
(iv) Develop a detailed design brief that summarizes the analysis of relevant research
Criterion A : Inquiring and analysing

A1: Explain and justify the need for a solution to a problem.

Explain the situation in a general sense (connect to global context)


Identify and describe the users who are affected by this problem.
Justify why this problem is significant and worth solving,
OR

Following questions can be used as the guiding pointers to write design


problem:

● What is the problem,


● To whom it is a problem (client/ audience),
● Where is the problem,
● What is the cause of the problem,
● What is the effect of the problem on the client/audience,
● Create empathy map to understand client requirement
A2: Construct a research plan, which states and prioritizes the primary and
secondary research needed to develop a solution to the problem

Command terms:
● States: State an important factor feature
● Prioritize: State how important something is to develop

Types of Research:

1. Primary Research: This is research that you do and involves data you collect.
2. Secondary Research This is research that someone else has done. You are using
their research to inform and understand.

Important note about Primary and Secondary Research


As a designer, you are expected to include both Primary and Secondary research in your
research plan.

● Create a research plan with minimum 5 questions


● Use a table to record our research plan.
● Your table should include all the sections completed below.

The most important section is the question - asking good questions will give
you useful, valuable, and relevant answers
Start by asking these questions:
1. What do I need to know about my audience?
2. What do I need to know about the design problem?
Priority:
Identify the importance of the information you are going to research. Use the following
1 = Essential: You must to do this research in order to better understand the design
context
2 = Useful: This research will be useful, but is not essential to your understanding.
3 = Non-essential but interesting to know

Research Question Research Research Source Priority


(What are the things you Type (From where will
want to research on ) (is it primary you research
or about it )
secondary)

A3: Describe the main features of an existing product that inspires a solution
to the problem
a. In this strand, look for 4 products available and analyze them for individual
strengths and weaknesses.
b. Do include citation

Name of each Strength Weakness


application

A4: Present the main findings of relevant research.

Summarize your research by writing


 What am I creating, for whom and why am I creating?
 What does the primary and secondary research say?
 Relate your product with the global context for this term.

Submission Requirements:
 Document Type: Report / Document (May include images and diagrams.)
 Maximum Pages Limit: 10
 Minimum pages needed: 6

the problem
iv. develops a design brief, which presents the analysis of
relevant research.
