Design Project (BA) (H7135)
60 credits, Level 6
Autumn and spring teaching
The BA 'Design Project' is a 60-credit final-year module that allows you to apply your accumulated knowledge and design skills to a self-initiated and negotiated design brief.
Projects will include research and viability studies to establish the appropriate design objectives.
You will explore and develop a number of design concepts before designing a fully-specified final design, presented as a 3D prototype and 2D presentation.
The work must be completed by an agreed deadline, and then presented to an audience not necessarily familiar with your work. This project is designed to expose you to areas of project management, resourcing, planning, scheduling, marketing, documentation and communication.
This will involve you managing the process of design as a whole, which will involve activities such as:
- observation
- user research and specification
- sketching/sketch modelling
- concept development
- prototyping
- product refinement
- user interaction
- producing the relevant presentation material.
