Study Notes
Design Fundamentals
- Font: Specific style of text used for printing or digital display.
- Design Brief: Document outlining the problem a design seeks to address.
- Design Specification: Details the criteria a product must meet.
- Logo: Simple graphic that represents a company, organization, or product.
- Branding: Process of creating a unique identity for a business.
- Client: Individual or entity purchasing the design project.
- Target User: Group of consumers sharing common needs or characteristics.
Technology in Design
- CAD (Computer-Aided Design): Software used for creating precise drawings or technical illustrations.
- CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing): Technology that uses CAD software to control machinery and automate manufacturing processes.
Prototyping and Evaluation
- Prototype: Unique product created to test and evaluate design ideas.
- Evaluation: Process of identifying strengths and areas for improvement in design.
Visual Inspiration
- Mood Board: Collage of images, text, and materials representing a set theme to inspire design.
- Psychology of Colour: Study of color effects in product design to convey messages or evoke emotions (e.g., red for danger, blue for calm).
Types of Plastics
- Thermosetting Plastics: Set into shape permanently upon heating; cannot be re-formed or recycled. Applications include lamps and kitchen surfaces.
- Thermoplastics: Can be reshaped upon reheating; recyclable. Used in cold drink bottles, certain plastic furniture, and 3D printing.
Specific Plastic Types
- Thermosetting Examples: Melamine and Urea Formaldehyde.
- Thermoplastic Examples: Polythene, Acrylic, and Polystyrene.
Environmental Impact of Plastics
- Pollution: Disposing of plastics leads to land, air, and sea pollution; manufacturing contributes to air quality concerns.
Laser Cutting Technology
- Laser Cutter: Machine employing a laser for precise cutting and engraving of materials like acrylic and plywood.
