Sketchbook: Design Contexts
A design context is a short written explanation or outline - given to you from the exam board - it does not outline the aims, objectives and milestones of a design project. We will explore this as a later stage.

A thorough and articulate understanding of the design context is a critical part of the design process.
TASK 1: Design Contexts

Produce a page in your sketchbook on the three design contexts you have been provided. These contexts will be available to you on or after June 1st.


Split the page into three, write the three design contexts at the top of the sections.


You need to analyse the three design contexts, looking at the possibilities for potential design projects within each context.
