About the design process notes
GoConqr OriginalWhat The Design Process notes cover
These user-made notes look at design strategies, research, client needs and project ideas. Some follow a sequence of stages; others focus on a particular brief or product. Several were created from mind maps, so their points are arranged as short prompts rather than long explanations.
How to study with the notes
Start with Engineering Design for an introduction to design strategies. Then read Design and research development to explore research, prototypes and testing. The notes on the design thinking process offer another sequence, from understanding people through to testing.
For a project example, look at the notes on a classroom desk or a wooden breakfast tray. Compare the factors in a project note with those in a broader process note. If you want to check what you remember, switch to a quiz on the unit page; use a mind map there to look at connections between ideas. Pick a note and explore its approach.
Frequently asked questions
Which note should I start with?
Engineering Design is a useful starting point because it introduces stages involved in design strategies. For a different view of the process, the notes on design thinking move through understanding people, defining a challenge, generating ideas, prototyping and testing.
What kinds of project notes are listed?
The page includes notes created from mind maps about a wooden breakfast tray, a classroom desk and a festival relaxation area. Other notes look at an animated brief and a gardening product. These offer different project contexts for studying the design process.
Are these notes free to use?
Yes. Every note listed here is free to open and study without an account. The resources were made by GoConqr users. A free account also lets you make your own notes, quizzes, mind maps and flashcards, and save quiz scores.
Who are these notes for?
Most of the notes are at school level, so school students can use them when studying design stages and project decisions. Teachers can also use them as material for lessons. Some resources are at university level, and listed resources mention courses including GCSE Design and Technology and A-level Design and Technology.
