Designing the individual idea
Now that we have
gathered
16
and analysed all the information, we can start to
work on the design. By examining existing models, we can create a new version
that satisfies our own needs, introducing small changes or combining ideas that
we find interesting.
At this stage, we should try to make our drawings attractive and clear so that they
are easy for our classmates to understand.
Analyse
17.
Design your solution and draw a sketch. It’s important for each
member of the group to give different ideas. It helps to have more
ideas so that you have more options to choose from.

In your group, carry out a F.A.C.E. value evaluation. Give points for
each sketch including your own. Based on the results, design and
draw an outline.

Imagine you want to buy a car. Find information about different
models and do a F.A.C.E. value evaluation for each one. Take at
least four different aspects into consideration:
fuel consumption

,
maximum speed, price, safety …

Coming together and choosing the best solution
To find a group solution to all the ideas, we can draw a table with the main aspects
of our projects.

Once we have agreed on the different aspects we want to evaluate, we can grade
the design’s different parts. We choose the design that gets the most points in
total. This kind of evaluation is called
F.A.C.E. value
.
Another good solution is to mix different positive aspects of other designs to make
your final design.
