Coursework folder Objectives 1-6 Contents page
This is not an exact list of contents that should be in your project but a rough guide to assist you. You may be asked to the shuffle the page order in the folder
Always make sure every page in your coursework has a reason for you looking at it, and that it relates to your product and its process of make. Tell us why you are looking at it? how it helps you? Always evaluate!! Your folder is a diary of thoughts and processes you have gone through so they must be clear. The more in-depth the better marks you can get (as long as its not waffle)
Remember: Be creative, Be individual, Be experimental!!!!!
ICT must be used in this project somewhere to ensure you do not loose marks available to you

analysis of brief (how you will gather your research e.g Internet, questionnaires, existing products and how you will use them to help you?)
mood board/theme board (to reflect target group/theme)
Brainstorm showing possible products to make ( other fashion or furnishing ideas)
Objective 2 (12 marks)

existing products (look at 6 products on market and analyze cost, fabric, decoration, style)
star charts to evaluate some existing products against eg. cost, material, design and colour

6 design ideas drawn up neatly, colours and annotated showing a range of techniques, materials and your thoughts. Show back views if garment or if different design from front. Be as creative as you can in this section
start charts to evaluate your ideas against (look in your objective 2 to recall how these work)

Care labels (what are they, what do they show, what would yours show?)
CAD CAM (what is it, how is used, how your product made using it?) refer to notes given by teacher

over all quality of product
produce a questionnaire to see if your product is suitable for its intended user, use star chart to help
include photographs of your final product
suggest modifications you could make to your product
