The Design Cycle

Investigate• What information needs to be on the

brochure?• What is the brochure for?• Who is the intended audience?• How big does the brochure need to be?• What do I have available to make the

brochure?

Design• What should this brochure look like?• What should this brochure be made of – is it a

hard copy or is it digital?• How do I make the most important information

the most noticeable?• How do I arrange all the elements on the page so

they convey the necessary information and still look good?

• What do the component elements of this poster need to be?

Plan• How will I go about fulfilling the design?• What tools can I use?• What materials are available to me?• Who can teach me to use the tools I don’t

know how to use in the time given?• What will I do first, second, third etc?

Create• How effectively am I able to follow my plan?• How effectively can I solve problems that I

didn’t think of when I was planning and designing?

Evaluate• Does my brochure do what it is supposed to do?

Does it work?• Have I included all of the important information

on my brochure?• Is all of the information clear?• Is the most important information the most

noticeable?• Does the brochure draw attention?• Was my process for designing this brochure

effective?
