The four design steps
LEARN
- To design something, you first learn about it.
- There is much to learn, and the more you know, the better you will design.
DRAW
- Draw as many ideas as you can.
- Drawing is easy and quick.
- Draw until you have ideas that you really like.
- Improve your ideas and turn them into a single excellent idea.
MAKE
- Make the thing that you are designing to show your teacher and classmates.
- Improve your design idea as you make it.
- Don’t give up, keep on going until you succeed.
- Making things is fun.
TRY
- Try the thing that you designed to see if it works or not.
- When you try it, you can improve your design idea, and become a better designer.
