Week 14
Introduction
For this week’s ICPD lesson, we have learnt about design specifications as well as sketching using free hand. This lesson is separated into two parts, part one being “Product Sketches” and part two being “Design Specifications”.
Part One: Product Sketches
Sketching is important in prototyping as it is beneficial because it aids in the validation of assumptions, the early detection of problems, the brainstorming of ideas and the conduct of early usability testing. Before anything, we were each given 5 sheets of paper and were instructed to practice on our free hand drawings by drawing different shapes and lines. We then proceeded to draw objects using 2 and 3 point perspective.

Figure 4: Sketching Straight lines
Part 1.1 One Point Perspective
Part 1.2 2 Point Perspective Book Drawing
Part 2: Design Specifications
As for the next part, we learnt about “Design Specifications”. What are design specifications? They are essentially a list of requirements that a material, design, product, or service must meet. It's a standard pre-design step in any engineering or product development process. Product design teams use design specifications to build out new features and functionality of a product. Good design specifications can help designers answer the relevant questions that they might have, for example “What are we building” etc.
