  • Clearly address the function you have identified

  • Be drawn in 3D

  • Be fully annotated to include details of suggested materials, manufacturing methods and your thoughts on the appropriateness of the design.

  • Be well presented.

SCAMPER

 

Producing a SCAMPER sheet is an excellent way of showing progression within your design ideas, and an example of such a sheet is shown.

​

The idea behind the SCAMPER exercise is that you are forced into thinking about the design rather than what you want to make and in focusing your mind on being creative you automatically think of more interesting ideas, you may have otherwise not considered.
