🔎 What? ❗Why?
Present feasible design ideas, which can be correctly You want to be open-minded and not yet hone in on one
interpreted by others. specific idea. You also want to explore different options.

⚙ How?
Develop and present a range of feasible concept sketches for design ideas for (parts of) your product. A great way to generate
these ideas is through a technique called a Morphological Analysis grid. In the analysis you:

● Identify the product components on the left side of your table. Now, generate different ideas for each feature.
● Use drawings and annotations to explain your ideas clearly (use your design specifications!).
● Select at least 3 possible combinations from the chart (just like ordering a sub sandwich from Subway!). Use colour-
coding to make clear which combinations you are considering.
● Reflect on the outcome of your morphological analysis using the following questions:
a. What are the new ideas the process of creating a morphological analysis gave you?
b. What are the new ‘problems’ you now need to solve for your main ideas?

Present your three ideas on one page in your sketchbook with three annotated sketches. Make a design specifications chart to
show how the three ideas fulfil your design specifications.

It gave me the ideas to add addons to the carrier .

I have to make it machine washable and reusable
