Aims

This module aims to equip students with tools to enable the successful completion of a concept model using fundamental design theories and practices. The module will help identify and reflect upon personal achievements and develop teamwork. The creative and imaginative approaches to problem solving will be distilled through a concept model and 3D design techniques.

Learning Outcomes

1.
Identify and reflect upon the following aspects of personal development: strengths and weaknesses, motivations and values, ability to work with others.
2.
Apply creative and imaginative approaches in problem solving and the development of designs.
3.
Create a concept model through iterative development of aesthetic forms using hand modelling techniques

Module Content

Outline Syllabus:The module focuses on creation and ideation skills and techniques. - Study of aesthetics - Introduction to 3D design (e.g. the disciplines of architecture, landscape architecture, industrial design & spatial design) - The basic elements of design (visually and conceptually) - 2D and 3D modelling exercises using various materials & tools. - Discovery through experimentation - Developing aesthetic judgment - Critical self-evaluation The New Product Design process starts with an initial idea or inspiration, which will be sourced from the discovery phase in which user needs are identified. Activities will include: — Market research — User research — Managing information — Design research groups As part of the LJMU CareerSmart programme, students will explore their development as a designer; reflect on where you have come from, how you will develop while at LJMU and where you ultimately see yourself positioned in your profession in the future.
