The Design Cycle Criteria Criteria A - Investigate In order to achieve top marks in Criteria A, I must write a design brief after thouroughly investigating my problem.Apart from a small paragraph stating your problems relevance to society, the design brief must include a list of product specifications, and several detailed test's your end product needs to pass in order to acess your end product against the criteria.

Each sollution must contain a sketch with dimentions, methods and materials you are going to use to create each perticular end product. Under each sketch you their should be a small paragraph explaining how this design meets the criteria set in the design specifications, as well as a table including 3 negative aspects and 3 positive aspects of this design. Finally you must choose 1 final design out of all of your options and write a paragraph explaining why and how the chossen sollution was better than the rest of the options and how and why it meets the design specifications.

Criteria C - Plan In order to achieve top marks in the planning stage, I mustwrite a detailed plan including a number of detailed, logical planning steps as well as a list of the responsibilities of each team member.
