How to practise this subject
These practice suggestions are editorial guidance from Australian Study Resources.
- Translate a design brief into specific user needs and constraints. State what evidence would demonstrate that a solution meets them.
- Sketch two possible solutions and annotate how each responds to the brief. Compare them against the same criteria.
- Plan a prototype test with an observable outcome. Explain how feedback could lead to a justified refinement.
- Record the specific point you missed, write a corrected response, and attempt another question that requires the same skill. Check older material against your current course before reusing it.
Plan your next practice session
Choose a practical task or example from your course. Record one criterion, compare two approaches and document what changed after a trial. Use the same criterion to review the revision.
How to document decisions in a practical project — includes an original example and a downloadable worksheet.
