Student Portfolio Development

Portfolio Development STUDENTS: Write down these terms and what you think the definitions are. Check your definitions during today’s lesson. Your homework assignment is to hand in a completed set of definitions. n Define the following: n n n Portfolio Artifact Evidence Medium Annotation Design Analysis

Portfolio Development n During this unit you will learn: n n What a portfolio is Why we use portfolios What to put in a portfolio How to make an effective portfolio

A Portfolio is…. . . n n A record of history A display of best works An organized collection of materials A collection of evidence to prove original work

Why do we use Portfolios…. z To record important events z. To show samples of best work z. To provide evidence that the design is an original

A Portfolio of a family’s important events Sammy’s first Halloween Sammy’s senior trip Sam’s wedding day

Portfolio of an architect's best works

A Design Portfolio is used to provide - something that tends to prove evidence…. . Patent Awarded Detailed Drawing Prototype

Elements of a Design Portfolio Title Page z Table of Contents n z Design Brief z Evidence of Conceptualization z Refinement of Ideas z Evidence of Design Analysis z Development and Implementation Documents z Optimization z Presentation Materials z Supporting Documents

Title Page z Name of the project or design z Names of the people who contributed to the design z Date the design began z Typed or neatly printed z Balanced and pleasing to the eye

Table of Contents n n n Includes each element or section Accurately numbered Neat

Design Brief n Problem identification - what is the purpose of the design. This should be short and to the point. n Remember what we learned in Unit 2 z Market Research - show charts or survey z Remember what we learned in Unit 2 z Design Brief - concisely identify and classify any constraints z Remember what we learned in Unit 2

Conceptualization n Data Collection Resources for Information Remember what we learned in Unit 2 Brainstorming Thumbnail Sketches Remember what we learned in Unit 2

Refinement of Ideas n Identify possible solutions n Show the brainstorming ideas were narrowed down to possible solutions Detailed/annotated sketches Developed plans for possible solutions Remember what we learned in Unit 2 Graphical analysis of possible solutions Modeling, drawings, vector analysis, or descriptive geometry Remember what we learned in Unit 2

Design Analysis - Engineering tools used to determine best solution Show comparison of alternatives n Decision making matrix Show the final design solution was selected Include supporting research Show justification for solution

Development & Implementation n Working Drawings Prototype Testing Working Drawing Prototype

Optimization n n Show evidence of assessment and modifications Show evidence of updated working drawings

Presentation n Provide evidence from written, oral , or multimedia presentations n Remember the rules of plagiarism - if you had to document resources in your written report, you need to include these references in the presentation. Place these references in the supporting documents section if necessary.

Supporting Documents n Provide crucial background information n n Clarify a complex part of the design n n Add further explanations for sections of the design that are difficult to describe with simple annotations References n n Background information your targeted audience needs in order to understand your design concept Citations on articles, books, web sites, interviews, and all other sources you used to gather information List where to find more information on the subject n Recommend sources that provide additional information on your design topic

Effective Elements n Artifacts n n n vehicle used to convey meaning Printed documents, drawings, digital pictures, video clips, voice recordings, charts, graphs, newspaper clippings, and anything else which BEST conveys your idea. Quantity n n Select pieces that best convey the idea, process, or event Medium n material evidence Less is Best - choose quality over quantity! Annotation n n a critical or explanatory note Identify or label each artifact or element Number each page

Problem Identification Visit www. baddesigns. com Problem Statement/Definition: • These faucet handles look nice, but they are not functional when your hands are wet and soapy. • Redesign these handles so that when a persons hands are wet and soapy, they can easily be gripped.

Problem Identification Market Research n n n Marketing department asked to try and find out how much of a demand there is for the proposed new product. Accomplished through the use of surveys. Prepare graphs and charts to visually present the results of the surveys.

Problem Solving Design Brief • A clear and concise description of the problem. • Identification of the needs to solve the problem. • List of design constraints (limits), such as function, appearance, time, legal issues, cost, etc.

Resources for Information n Explore all possible sources for ideas n n n n Existing Products Earlier Patents Design and Trade Journals Museums Trade Exhibitions Hardware Stores World Wide Web

Thumbnail Sketches n n Recorded ideas with quick sketches Initial ideas with little thought to scale or accuracy

Develop Detailed/Annotated Sketches • • A number of different possibilities should be sketched and evaluated to determine size and shape. A determination of the size and shape will assist in determining the specific materials used for the product.

Assemble Graphical Analysis of Possible Solutions • • Graphical analysis is used in design refinement to see which designs optimally perform under design parameters. Some examples of Graphical Analysis include: • • • Descriptive Geometry Vector Analysis Layout Analysis Finite Element Analysis 3 D Modeling Sample of Finite Element Analysis (FEA)

Descriptive Geometry Descriptive geometry using orthographic projection to solve a 3 D problem on a 2 D surface.

Decision Matrix n Using a matrix, select a workable solution.
