GREEN TECHNOLOGY; CRITERION B

Criterion B: Developing Ideas

In this stage you will be expected to:

i.              develop design specifications, which clearly states the success criteria for the design 

of a solution. pages 1-2

-      The design specs should be measurable with a clear way on how the specs will 
be tested

Example: Game Product

Specification	Test
Game will be less than 1 MB in size	Install it in a computer  the size in properties
Played by two players (Multiplayer game)	Allow two players to play simultaneously
The game 3 levels that will advance in complexity.	Play the game at each level time the duration it takes to complete a level and record the complexities.

ii.            develop a range of feasible design ideas, which can be correctly interpreted by others
                pages 6-7

-      Develop a range of good quality designs and measure each of them against the 
design specs.

- Your description for each design should be detailed and clear and use annotation,

captions on images or diagrams which are not clear.

Examples of Game design Storyboards.

               

          

Animation

Websites

Apps

iii.  present the chosen design and justify its selection pages 1-2

-      State the chosen design.

-      Provide detailed justification why the design was chosen.

-      Suggest possible improvements to the chosen design.

-      If possible show the chosen design with the improvements included as a final design.

iv.           develop accurate and detailed planning drawings/diagrams

( Table of requirements and flowcharts) and outline the requirements  for the creation of 

the chosen solution. pages 3-4

-      Normally using a Plan table showing the sequential steps in creation of the product is
 important.

Example: Game Solution

Steps	Activity/ Techniques	Duration	Resources required	Where
1	Start by working on the flash start-up log in screen with instructions options similar to the screen shown.	1 hour	Flash software; Font software to edit the font. Animation software to insert  the back images	At home

In Digital design, three key items are usable in strand iv;

A. Table of requirements based on design specs/ .

C. Sitemap/ Layout                                                              

Sitemaps on the other hand explain the layout of your project. It would explain the various tables and the interconnection among the tables in the case of a database. 

It explains the various pages and how they are linked in the case of a website, and so is the case for any other application.

Take a case example of the following website:
