Lesson Aims: To produce a final sample to scale which will act as a prototype for your final design 

Lesson Objectives:

1. Produce a final to scale sample*

2. Go back through all prep - ensure all samples and research relate to your intended outcome

3. Present design development work in sketchbook/on boards

* there is no set size for this, it needs to be to scale based on your design e.g. if you are embroidering imagery onto your outcome you should scale up and work a section of the design to size! note: it may be more appropriate to focus on a series of samples, depending on your ideas at this stage 

TASKS

Reflect on your final sample(s) considering the following points:

1. Does anything need to be changed?

2. Does it relate technically to your research?

3. Does it use the best techniques from your prep work?

4. Does it have the WOW factor

If the answer is NO to any of the above you need to act upon it! This may mean…

• Additional artist/designer research
• Additional samples
• Altering your final design
• etc! 

PRESENTING

Ensure that your final design is presented in your sketchbook/on boards. This should be presented alongside your scale sample and should include an illustration/collage and a visualisation in an appropriate setting. 

HOMEWORK

1. Complete 'scale' sample

2. Present work as outlined above with visualisation and illustration/collage 

3. Ensure all work is up to date
