Theory - The Design Cycle

In the lecture on Thursday, we were introduced to start thinking about how we develop our own work. One way to successfully develop our design ideas is through following the steps of the design cycle.

This is a really useful breakdown of work and how we can create the best possible outcome I am doing this with both my 4005 and 4006 module. One thing that is very important is the order I.e. you cant develop a strong concept if you are not going to research and nothing is going to happen if you just research.
