Evaluating Designs

This is bigger than a checkpoint [[evaluation]], but smaller than the final evaluation. Here, you should reflect on your overall design process.

Your evaluation here should explore:

• Your analysis of existing designs and systems
• Your research into users
• Your critical, creative, and speculative thinking
• Your exploration of ethics, particularly environmental, economic, and social
• Your analysis and consideration of accessible and intuitive design
• Your analysis of factors influencing your design
• The parameters and outcomes of the tests you have designed
• The analysis of designing for maintenance
• The overall effectiveness of your system to solve your design problem.
• Critical analysis of early sketches and plans
• Results and analysis of any material or component testing
• Your design brief

You should include all parts of the evaluation cycle, expecially exploring your understanding of your own designs.
