4.4.4.1 Section A: Identifying & investigating design possibilities (10 marks)
By analysing the contextual challenge students will identify design possibilities, investigate client needs and wants and factors including economic and social challenges. Students should also use the work of others (past and/or present) to help them form ideas. Research should be concise and relate to their contextual challenge. Students are also advised to use a range of research techniques (primary/secondary) in order to draw accurate conclusions. Students should be encouraged to investigate throughout their project to help inform decisions.
Reminder: Analysis and evaluation should be an ongoing process of reflection and iteration.
