Dear colleague


There is a preview of the publication 101 Design Methods online. Although its content is applicable to industry it may be useful for Unit 3, Area of Study 1, Outcome 1, specifically key knowledge 'how a designer collects, records and develops relevant information about the design problem and the specific needs and requirements of the client and/or end-user/s to create a design brief, including reference to Product design factors' and the key skill 'explain methods and activities from the highlighted information that the designer could undertake to research, explore and develop creative design ideas and design options to meet the requirements of the design brief'.

Information about the book is available at:

Regards, Lorraine.
