Investigation


 * __ Investigation __**

You are making a product to solve a problem or satisfy a market need. The product is the actual thing you make. The investigation part of the design cycle is about investigating the problem/market need, defining what your product needs to be successful, and how you are going to evaluate it! **__ DESIGN BRIEF __** The Design Brief is a short statement of what you are going to make, why you are going to make it, and for whom you are making it for. It should be an open ended statement.

**__DESIGN SPECIFICATION__** The Design Specification is the most crucial element of the Investigate phase of the Design Cycle. A good Design Specification should include information that you´ve learned about the task/problem from your research. It is a list of requirements that your design ideas must meet plus a list of constraints that you have. It is the check list that you need to use when you start to make your design ideas.
