This was a working presentation aimed at S3 pupils (14yrs) during a PRODUCT DESIGN class. They were working through the design process and it ended with them testing out various types of chairs in terms of ergonomics etc. Feel free to chop and change it...

1. Identify your market … Who would go to the Merchant City for lunch? Who would be attracted to an Art Deco style café?

2. Lifestyle board

4. Task: Collect images from newspapers, magazines, internet, , brochures (also samples of textiles and fabrics if possible The result should be a snapshot of the intended market group’s life

5. Lets develop our picture of the user into words . . .

6. Time to identify all the important DESIGN ISSUES and fully analyse the BRIEF . . .

8. Once we IDENTIFY Design Issues, we must JUSTIFY our CHOICE . . . WHY? Aesthetics . . .

9. Aesthetics It is important that the chair has an Art Deco style so that it fits in with its environment . It is important that the Aesthetics of the chair demonstrates high quality not only to reflect the style of Art Deco but to be attractive to the user who finds products of high quality appealing.
