Context of the Design Proposal for the NEA

Context of the Design Proposal

The start of the NEA (non examined assessment) is an essential stage of the design process.  You MUST have made initial contact with a client to set up an initial meeting to discuss their need/context behind the design proposal.  it is essential to record the whole conversation and analyse the outcome/s.  You must show a thorough understanding of the need for the product and also orbiting factors that need to be considered going forward.

Please ensure you have the following in place;

• Record the initial e-mail requesting a meeting.
• List the questions you used and the responses the client gave.
• Provide background information regarding the client and the possible users of the proposed design.
• Display photographs of the environment to demonstrate a thorough understanding of the context of where the design will be housed.

All information must be concluded to explain how the information collated will be considered going forward.

The deadline for the context is the first session back after the summer break.

Below is a fine example of a B Grade context to give you some inspiration.
