• A1: Context exploration and mapping: Students will research and explore three areas of the broad project context using visual note taking as the documentation approach. This will include developing three personas relevant to the project context.
• A2: Human centred research report: The research report is a synthesis and sense-making of the group members collated research including some simulated interviews and focus groups. It will culminate in a clear project brief for the team project including a reframing of the problem and/or framing of the opportunity. It will have a considered set of initial user needs, requirements and constraints that will be used in the ideation phase.
• A3: Design prototype: This is the team’s prototype you have developed as a response to your project brief. It could be a physical mock-up, digital production or visualisation. It will be used in your user testing/ evaluation session to test your design. Your team’s prototype will be accompanied by an A1 poster that provides the project brief, and basic requirements, and your rationale or theory of change for how the prototype meets the brief.
• A4: Final design concept articulation: Groups will submit their final design concept which includes a final “artifact”, a 3 minute video and A1 posters that describe the design concept, the rationale for creating change and the iterative development process including user testing. It will include an honest group reflection on the project and learning.
