School Assessed Task -SAT Design folio Production and Record of Progress Evaluation report, Care label & Presentation Contributes to 50% of Unit 3&4 Study Score *The SAT is moderated against the exam. It is important that you complete and understand each of the criteria to assist you in the exam.

The Product Design Process The nine SAT Assessment Criteria assess your work in the product design process.

Changes to SAT assessment for 2015 Greater weighting has been given to the product Greater emphasis on students developing and producing innovative and creative designs

Profile, Design Brief and Evaluation criteria Criterion 1 Skill in developing Profile of client or end user(s) Design brief with reference to the Product Design Factors Evaluation criteria

Client Profile Criterion 1 A profile of the client or end-user/s relevant to their need/s Textiles example Client Profile examples based on an interview Resistant materials example

Design Brief Criterion 1 A design brief that: defines the purpose, function and context of the problem needs and requirements of the client/end-user/s; makes reference to the relevant Product design factors has constraints and considerations describes the expected quality of the finished product

Design Brief Criterion 1 An excellent design brief will address all the relevant Product Design Factors these are: Purpose, function and context Human Centred Design Innovation and creativity Visual, tactile & aesthetic Sustainability Economics Legal Responsibilities Materials Technologies

Design Brief Criterion 1 In this example the student has clearly highlighted the product design factors and created a code at the bottom of folio page.

Evaluation Criteria Criterion 1 Three sets of evaluation criteria: Weighted numerically for the design options As questions for the product design process activities In four parts for the finished product

Evaluation Criteria for the Design Options Criterion 1 Textiles example These criteria need to be drawn from the design brief and weighted. Client/end user will need to be able to make a judgement on each design option drawing using this criteria.

Evaluation Criteria for the design, planning and production activities Criterion 1 Should be at least one criterion for each of the Product Design Process stages: - Investigating and Defining - Design and Development - Planning and Production Resistant materials example

Four-part Evaluation Criteria for the finished product Criterion 1 Four-part evaluation criteria for the finished product must include: Each criterion drawn from the design brief and written as a question directed at the finished product Justification (related to the design brief) How to achieve the criterion during the design and production activities How to check/test the finished product

Four-part Evaluation Criteria Criterion 1 Resistant materials example

Research and Visualisations Criterion 2 Skill in conducting research and communicating developmental work Research should include: Images and information that are relevant to the brief showing an awareness of the design task Annotations that explain its relevance Acknowledgment of Intellectual Property

Research and Visualisations Criterion 2 Textiles example Visualisations should: Show a development of ideas Show connection to the research Be shown alongside/near research Evidence of client/end user feedback should be present can be shown on research pages and/or visualisations

Visualisations Criterion 2 Resistant materials examples

Design options Criterion 3 Textiles example Skill in developing: Creative and innovative design options ability to use a decision matrix with client or enduser feedback and justify the preferred option

Design options Criterion 3 Clear and detailed presentation drawings to convey design options Textiles example Student has drawn front and back view and has included exploded views of details

Design Options Criterion 3 Textiles example

Design Options Criterion 3 Resistant materials example Use of Visual, tactile and aesthetics parameters to enhance design options

Decision Matrix Criterion 3 Resistant materials example Justification of the preferred option using weighted criteria in a decision matrix with client and/or end user feedback Textiles example Each design option must have a numerical score that is quantifiable data the design option with the highest score becomes the preferred option as it best meets the criteria

Decision Matrix and Justification Criterion 3 Textiles example

Design folio Criterion 4 Skill in preparing: Detailed working drawings/patterns using accepted conventions Production plan including: Timeline as a GANTT chart Sequence of steps and the required materials, tools, equipment and machines, with any outsourcing planned for and acknowledged Risk assessment on processes, safe use of tools, equipment, machines and processes Materials costing list Quality Measures

Working Drawings - Flats Criterion 4 Working drawings for garments are called flats : these are 2D outlines that are drawn to scale, show measurements, stitching that would be seen from the outside, and indicate production processes See Nexus website to see what a textile/fashion working drawing looks like and to access a free template: http://www.designersnexus.com/f ashion-design-portfolio/digitalfashion-flat-sketches/

Working Drawings - Flats Criterion 4 Textiles examples

Working Drawings - Technical Criterion 4 Resistant materials example For resistant materials, working drawings are Technical, mostly 2D, e.g. orthogonal drawing; are drawn to scale; show measurements, joints and indicate production processes. They give details including materials, parts and sizes.

Pattern Modifications Criterion 4 Textiles example Student has acknowledged the pattern source and clearly shown the changes made to the pattern

Production Plan Criterion 4 Production plan outlining the steps to be carried out, tools & equipment needed, safety aspects and approximate time Textiles example

Production Plan Criterion 4 Production plan outlining the steps to be carried out, tools & equipment needed, safety aspects and approximate time Resistant materials example This student has identified a particular machine that is needed for a process and has clearly noted that only the teacher is to use this machine

GANTT Chart Criterion 4 Time-line as a Gantt chart to indicate how long each production step should take and the date by which each step is expected to be finished.

Materials Costing List Criterion 4 Textiles example Students need to research the material needs for the product quantities and cost. Sample materials not essential. Photos of materials can be used also. Textiles students: need to include all notions/trims Resistant materials: have a cutting list and a list of components and parts.

Quality Measures Criterion 4 Textiles example Ability to explain measures to ensure that standards of quality will be met in the finished product.

Risk Assessment Criterion 4 Ability to provide a detailed knowledge of risk assessment. Textiles example

Risk Assessment Criterion 4 Ability to provide a detailed knowledge of risk assessment. Resistant materials example Only need to carry out a risk assessment on machines that YOU will be using. Acknowledgment should be made of machines that are only to be used by teacher/technician.

Material Tests and Production Trials Criterion 5 Ability to document understanding of and judgements about suitability of materials and production processes, tools, equipment and machines Documentation should include: Material tests and Production process trials carried out by the student (Primary research) needs to be relevant to the brief explanation should be given as to why you are carrying out the test/trial. Evidence needs to show understanding of the properties and characteristics of materials and correct selection of materials and production processes/tools and equipment.

Material Tests Criterion 5 Textiles example Material Tests undertaken should be relevant to the brief you are testing for material characteristics that are required for the product.

Textiles example

Material Tests and Process Trials Criterion 5 Resistant materials examples Photographed and explained

Production trials Criterion 5 Textiles examples

FAQs on the SAT When can I start production? Ideally not until the planning components are finished, particularly the Risk Assessment. This could be sometime around May, however, check with your teacher and consider completing some useful trials or material tests in the meantime. When should I aim to have my product finished? Your teacher will set the date but aim to finish the product by mid to late August to allow for any setbacks.
