AC9TDE10P02

Elaborations

• AC9TDE10P02_E1using techniques including combining and modifying ideas and exploring functionality to generate solution concepts and reimagining designs to feature emerging technologies, for example designing wearable technology that could help or give independence to elderly people, such as wearable blood glucose monitors
• AC9TDE10P02_E2undertaking functional, structural and aesthetic analysis of benefits and constraints of design ideas, for example assessing how a design is suitable for different communities and environments including a country in Asia, for example the design of skyscrapers in Japan to withstand earthquakes
• AC9TDE10P02_E3considering competing variables that may hinder or enhance project development, for example weight, strength and price of materials; laws; sustainability; accessibility; social protocols, user needs and community consultation processes
• AC9TDE10P02_E4producing drawings, models and prototypes to explore design ideas, for example using technical drawing techniques (for example perspective and orthogonal drawings), digital imaging programs, 3D printers or augmented reality (AR) modelling software; producing multiple prototypes that show an understanding of key aesthetic considerations in competing designs
• AC9TDE10P02_E5communicating using appropriate technical terms and recording the generation and development of design ideas and processes for an intended audience including justification of decisions, for example developing a digital portfolio with images and text which clearly communicate each step of a design process
• AC9TDE10P02_E6using design thinking and enterprise skills to create innovative approaches to processes and solutions, for example brainstorming novel ideas inspired by nature or transforming a solution into an enterprise for a target market
