Study the following information:
A design process may include a series of steps followed by designers. Depending on the product or service, some of these stages may be irrelevant, ignored in real-world situations in order to save time, reduce cost or because they may be redundant in the situation.
Typical stages of the design process include:
Pre-production design
Design brief – a statement of design goals;
Analysis – analysis of current design goals;
Research – investigating similar design solutions in the field or related topics;
Specification – specifying requirements of a design solution for a product (product design specification) or service;
Problem solving – conceptualizing and documenting design solutions;
Presentation – presenting design solutions;
Design during production
Development – continuation and improvement of a designed solution;
Testing – in-situ testing a designed solution;
Post-production design feedback for future designs
Implementation – introducing the designed solution into the environment;
Evaluation and conclusion – summary of process and results, including constructive criticism and suggestions for future improvements;
Re-designing – any or all stages in the design process repeated (with corrections made) at any time before, during or after production.
