Introduction: You need to develop specifications and design ideas for the poster which you will
be developing for the choice topic.

• Develop design specifications, which outlines the success criteria for the design of a
solution based on the data collected

• What are the main features (specifications) you want to see in your final product. (i.e., in your
Poster)
Design Specification: ACCESSFM refer the below sample to fill in the table:

(Your design specifications should be specific, detailed) -Any 5

Design Specification Description
Aesthetics

• Present a range of feasible design ideas, which can be correctly interpreted by

others.
• Develop a range of good quality designs and measure each of them against the design
specifications. You will be required to design how you expect your Poster(s) to look like.

(You are expected to draw your own designs by using Pen and paper. Downloading
from the Internet is STRICTLY not allowed.)

• Create two rough design Sketch -Poster. One is the Final Design Sketch. (Two pen and
Paper Designs)

• Annotate each design ideas and describe them.

• Present the chosen design and outline the reasons for its selection

Evaluation of designs against specifications: Self and Feedback from at least 3 or more peers. You can
use online tools to collect feedback like google forms or survey monkey etc.
