In this concept I learned about the important steps that are within the design process and I also learned how useful each step is to achieve your target, as a class we first started to learn the basic steps within the design process that every designer has to go through which is shown below in the diagram. In this simple design loop an idea is generated (1). This idea is implemented (2). After the idea is implemented, the design group would test the product or evaluate the result of the implementation through testing (3). Typically, during this testing and evaluation, additional ideas are generated, and the process starts over again. This cycle and repetition is why it can be said that design is an iterative process however this is only the basic process that we learned , later on we also compared this design process to the engineering process which is also shown below in the diagram. This design process was much more detailed than the basic design process so because of that when doing big projects like the Halloween mechanism project me and my project partner had to use the engineering design process in order to build a good mechanism at the end.
