Final Design

My final design is:

I chose this design because:
it was more detailed then the other 2 signs and more clear to understand.

Evaluation:

* Does your sign meet all the specifications and requirements of the brief? If so, how?

* What is the purpose of your sign? Do you think your sign will help eliminate a problem in the school or street? If so, how?
The purpose of our sign is to stop littering. I think the sign will help eliminate a problem if people listen to it.
* What did you do well?
I think that we did the signs well, seeing that we didn’t manage our time well.
* What difficulties did you come across while making your sign?
Time management
* What can you do next time to improve your project?
Be more well prepared and organised and manage time better.

You need to come up with at least 2 different possible sign designs and complete a PMI for each. This should include some feedback from an adult or a peer around the school who would represent the stakeholders.

Planning Log

Planning Log

Keep a record of both what you intend to do and what you did over the course of the next 3 weeks as we work through the Technology Process.

	Week 5	Week 6	Week 7
What I plan to do	Brainstormed issues	Research questions Ideas more signs	Complete the signs
Materials I will need	Paper, pen, ideas	Google Docs Questions	Google Docs Questions
People/Sources I need to consult for more information.	peers, friends, yourself, teacher	Peers, friends, Year 7 7 & 8 kids	My partners
What did you find difficult and why?	To come up with 1 problem to focus on	To get the form done and sent	To get our design project thing done
What I will do next as a result of any difficulties.	Get more ideas for a good sign	Analyze the data, check the answers	Manage the time more better

STAKEHOLDERS

The Stakeholders are the people who have an effect on the production of your product

The Primary Stakeholder is your client ie. the person or community of people that your sign is going to be created for. eg. ….

Wider Community Stakeholders:	Key Stakeholders:	Primary Stakeholder:
Parents Visitors Care-givers Community	Students Year 7 & 8 students Teachers	Me year 7 & 8 students

ATTRIBUTES:
These describe the physical (what it is like) and functional (what it will do) characteristics of a product. These characteristics are key or essential for the successful function of a product and should be re- evaluated at each stage of the design process.

With your sign in mind, complete the following attributes table:

Attribute	Method of Measurement	Specification
eg. Eye catching	sign will appeal (be noticed) by stakeholders	Sign must be clear, stand out and be creative
Size	Pretty big	Sign must be big enough for everyone to see
Colour	A bright/appealing colour	Green/White/Black/readable
Create awareness (e.g. clear message)	Stop littering	People should stop littering so our school can be clean
Durable/ Weather resistant	Laminate it	Laminate it so it’ll be waterproof
Ideal location (in the right area)	Somewhere readable	Probably in the street up on the wall

Your task is to design a sign that will clearly assist in eliminating a problem within our school.

- Make sure you are clear what the task is.
- Can you identify the key words in this task (highlight them and discuss it with a buddy)

Thinking about signs and signage (Make a list of all the signs you have seen ….. and the purpose of the sign )

Brainstorm some Ideas/ problems that we have around our school environment.

*Littering
*Gum
*Running
*Drama’s
*Rumours
*Respect
*Running
*Untidy shoes

ISSUE CHOICE AND JUSTIFICATION

You need to think and expand on your answers, one sentence is not sufficient.

What is your issue in our school? I think that a big problem we have around the school is littering.Our school is sometimes very messy and has rubbish littered on the fields and courts and Mr Malloy has to pick it up.

Who does it affect? Mr Malloy, students, teachers
Why is it happening in our school? Because people walk and eat, people are careless
When does it happen? Before/after school, lunch time, morning tea
Where is it happening? The Street, Around the whole school, Classrooms,
What needs to happen to prevent this issue? More awareness talks, Signs, punish people who litter, monitors, more bins
