Elements:	1. Examine information on three dimensional design
	2. Apply design processes to produce samples of three dimensional design work

Learning Outcomes

• general knowledge of the role and nature of a brief within the design process, including different types of brief and how designers use them
• awareness of the notion of individual interpretation and choice within the design process
• knowledge about the materials, tools and equipment required to apply design processes to three dimensional applications
