Evaluating My Performance at Each Stage of the Design Cycle


Investigation

The goal of this stage is to make several logos for the Design Cycle and The IB Learner Profile. This was the first part of the Design Cycle. I interviewed a client to know what type of logo that attracts people. I did some brainstorm and research to know some of the famous logos.


Design

I make 15 possible designs for the Design Cycle and the IB Learner Profile. I tried to apply almost all of the details needed to produce an efficient logo. I use several bright color to make an attractive logo. I didn’t use I think I did quite well on this Design Cycle.


Plan

I made a timeline for this logos design project. I predict that all of the logos can be done within 6 IT class. I didn’t exactly follow the timeline for this project because it is hard for me to design using the tools that I never used before.


Create

I started this stage by designing the first logo that is the Investigation Stage. This is one of the neatest logo that I designed on this project. The rest of the logos were quite messed up and too colorful. I took some pictures from a design book I bought for inspiration, then I tried to copy some of their ideas on my logos.


Evaluation

This stage include evaluation of everything I have done and evaluates the whole project. I put some feedbacks from my client and the peers in class. I need the client feedbacks to know what doesn’t match my client’s request. I did well in this last stage of the design cycle. I include modifications of products, successful/unsuccessful points of product, and the impact on the environment.


Meeting Specifications

Title Successful or Not Successful? Test

Time X I will make a timeline to make sure that I’m on time.

Size √My client wanted it to be small to save

money. But I will make a medium one with cheap material to attract people.

Appearance √I found out that advertisement video are

usually attractive, interesting. While Flyers are usually colorful and offers prizes.

Target Audience √ Children under 12 usually don’t understand words on the flyer or the video.


Meeting Specification

Function √This logo is used to make

all of the Design cycle logos more attractive.

Process and Tools √I use several programs such as Adobe Photoshop CS 4

and Pixel mater.

Durability X

The logos will not last for a long time because we need to change the logo for a certain period of

time to make them more attractive.


Successful Points of Product

The 5 Design Cycle logos was attractive and colorful.

All of them explains about each stage quite well.


Unsuccessful Points of Product

I put too much variety of colors in the last Evaluation logo Design and people may found out that it was too colorful.

The designs are too simple.


Modifications/Improvements of Products

If I had a chance to create another logo, I will make sure that they are attractive but not too colorful.

The logos must be simple and straight to the point.


Client Evaluation

These 5 Design Cycle logos that you designed was not bad. But you have to consider about the colors that you added on the logo. Some of the logos such as the “Create Stage” was not attractive and the color that you insert doesn’t match.


The Impact on Society

Students will understand better with the help of these logos were designed to make the Design Cycle more attractive to students.


The Impact on the Environment

I designed all of the logos using two softwares that operates with a laptop. The laptop get it’s power from the electricity supply that cannot be replaced. It does harm some trees when I print the logos in a full A4 paper.
