Design Methodology

After finding the main problems and issues with the ring binder it can then be redesigned. To redesign the folder mood boards will be created to find out what types of folder already exist and how they have been designed to function. This should point out any flaws or niches in the market. Lifestyle boards will also be created to show how folders are most commonly used to back up the research on the users. As well as creating moods boards pop up books will be investigated to see whether these can generate ideas to hold the paper inside the folder.

From the research conducted a specification will be produced to focus the redesign of the folder. Initial design ideas can be created through the specification to change certain parts of the folder. These parts can then be joined together to create the redesigned folder. As there will be more than one design they will be taken back to the users to find out what they think. To find this out the same groups if people will be used as in the initial research. This will provide accurate opinions on whether the design has met the problems they had come up with and also identify the final design idea.

The final design idea can then be tested. To do this a prototype can be produced to find out how much it would cost and whether it works.
