This standard asks you to create a design for a digital product or system using the correct rules and techniques that professionals use. You need to understand what your users actually need, explore design ideas, pick the best one, and explain why it works—thinking about things like how easy it is to use, whether it's accessible to everyone, and any legal or safety issues involved.
What to do, grades and common mistakes
- ·Describe what your digital product or system is for and what users actually need from it
- ·Research and apply the right design conventions (like usability rules, visual layouts, naming systems, or circuit symbols depending on what you're designing)
- ·Come up with multiple design ideas and test them to see which works best
- ·Choose your best design and clearly explain why it's the right choice for the job
- ·Discuss the real-world implications—like whether it's accessible to everyone, how safe it is, whether there are legal issues, and how sustainable it is
You apply conventions to create a basic design that meets the purpose and requirements, with some explanation of why it works.
You use feedback from testing to improve your design and clearly explain how your chosen design follows the right conventions while addressing user needs and real-world implications.
