Design Problem and Design Brief

Design Problem

This is the first page and you must introduce your project here. First write about the problem - e.g. if you are designing a jewellery box think about.

  • Why people wear jewellery.
  • What jewellery is made from
  • How valuable it is including sentimental value.
  • A place needed to store jewellery.
  • Keeping it safe
  • Keeping it clean and in good condition i.e. chains and earrings not all tangled up.
  • Displaying jewellery.
  • The jewellery box needs to be suitable for the room it is kept in.
  • Jewellery boxes should be secure but can they be portable.

Now write about these points in your own way. Include examples from your own experience. A good way to start is imagine the jewellery boxes had never been thought of and describe what would happen to all your precious jewellery.

The Design Brief

This is where you write a short statement of intent. - I am going to design and make a storage unit for jewellery which will be suitable for a teenager.

You could write more in this section but the specification is where you will write all the details.
