This is the second step of the MYP Design Cycle. In this we have to make the design for our product. These are the following steps for Step 2: Design:

​

1) Mood board: This is when we pick out good pictures of emergency

shelters that already exist and make a board full of them so we can get

ideas from them.



2) Design Ideas: Then we had to put 6 design ideas that we made for

our emergency shelter and point arrows at the different parts to help

identify what each part does.



3) Evaluating against specification: This is the highlight of Design it is

when we use the specification that we used in Step 1: Investigate and

see if it matches the design's needs. For the important points we give

it a 2 and for the less important points we give it a 1. Obviously the

model with the most points is going to be the one that meets the needs

of the specifications more than the others.The one that got the most

points was the 2nd model. 



 4) Client feedback: This is when we get feedback on our designs from

the client that we interviewed in Step 1: Investigate. The

client also chose the 2nd model as the best one.



5) Final design chosen and why: This is when we decide

what design we chose and why. I chose emergency shelter

number 2 because it was a unique shape and matched

almost all of my specification points.



6) Final Design Idea Develop: This is when we draw a more

detailed version of our emergency shelter. We can also

make changes. I took out the ladder for example.



7)Final Design: This is the final design that you are going to

stick with. I changed some things. For example, I added the

ladder back in to the emergency shelter



When I was doing Design, I didn't have a lot of troubles

because I liked drawing models. This time I learned that I

had to get things checked with Mr. Thorburn to get the

highest mark that I could achieve. The hard part was getting

the measurements to work.
