Criteria B – Developing Ideas

Expectations for criterion B

Assessment Criterion
The student:
i. develops detailed design specifications, which explain the success
criteria for the design of a solution based on the analysis of the
research
ii. develops a range of feasible design ideas, using an appropriate
medium(s) and detailed annotation, which can be correctly
interpreted by others
iii. presents the chosen design and justifies fully and critically its selection
with detailed reference to the design specification
iv. develops accurate and detailed planning drawings/diagrams and
outlines requirements for the creation of the chosen solution.
Strand 1 - Design specification
Assessment criteria for this (strand 1)

“ Developed detailed design specifications, which

explain the success criteria for the design of a
solution based on the analysis of the research”.

• You now need complete your design specification.

• This Specification must be completed on the product you

design on your ‘final design’ page.

• You should use ACCESS FM to help you with this.

• Remember, the specification should contain lots of

information but avoid repeating yourself at any stage!
 Product Specification
• What does the product
look like
• Colour, shape, texture,
How is the product made How much will it cost to
theme etc.
