5. Evaluate your sources – how useful are these sources
and how accurate are they?
In my opinion these sources were very useful I found some
really useful information and they gave me more ideas to expand and to write
about. Some of these sources are accurate except for “http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_are_brochures_used_for#slide1”
Since it’s from Wiki answers and anyone could write their own answers, but I
was careful and I made sure that it was the correct answer referring to other
sites.
6. Develop a Design Brief (why/what/where/who and how). Look
here for ideas at http://www.technologystudent.com/designpro/problem1.htm (for
Design Technology but still useful).
7. Formulate a Design Specification – give a detailed
description of the conditions, requirements and restrictions there are for
producing your chosen business brochure/magazine. (For example: software
limitations, printing preferences, size, color, fonts used, information to be
put in/on, etc). Look here for ideas at
http://www.technologystudent.com/designpro/spec1.htm (for Design Technology but
still useful).
8. Describe, in detail, how you will test your product. If
you intend to use a questionnaire, include that here. You will document the
process in detail in digital format in a blog and present it at the end of each
stage on your wiki. (To be saved only as a copy in the folder. Print out need
not be taken.)
