Design Brief and Design Specification

This week, you can develop your design brief and design specification according to your research.

In your design brief, please state and explain the type of cakes you intend to make. You have to mention who will be the cakes for. You need to explain why you make this kind of cakes to solve the problem. Link your decisions to your research.

Your design specification must be precise and accurate. Do not just list some design specifications. A detailed description of the conditions, requirements and restrictions with which a design must comply. This is a precise and accurate list of facts such as conditions, dimensions, materials, process and methods that are important for the designer and for the user. All appropriate solutions will need to comply with the design specification. You should provide at least 8 design specifications.

May I remind all of you the conditions, requirements and restrictions in the practical lessons. 1) You have to make the healthy cakes by yourself only. 2) You have to make the cakes within 110 minutes(including washing time). 3) The upper limit of temperature of the oven is 250 degree celcius. 4) The largest size of cake tin is 8 inches(diameters).

For Year 8 Trust students, you have to do the product test plan as well. Please state the ways to test if the product meet the design specifications, eg. observation, experiment, survey, etc. you can also create a check list for the product test plan.
