    Dear Class,

    When you analyse existing design ideas or your own ones, you can use the attached 'MUMSFACES' & 'ACCESSFM' to help yourselves with the hints for that process.
    You will need to download the PDF file to be able to view the little prints clearly.



  • 27 April - 3 May

    Dear Class,

    Please remember to load your design slides under our Project 1 assignment.

    When you click into that assignment, to the top right corner, you will find the tab
     '
    + add or create'
    for you to load your work under this assignment. You don't have to submit it until you complete it to your satisfaction, while I can still view your progress in the meantime.


    I hope you can all load your work on ASAP.

    Thank you for your great work!

    Ngā mihi 
    Mr Chen

  • 11 May - 17 May

    Dear Class,

    I believe you have worked well with our Project 1 with amazing discoveries and ideas.
    Just to summarise the first stage, please manage to complete your project up to 'ideas' before we phase into 'development'. You should have used 'MUMSFACES' to analyse any existing ideas and the initial ideas of your own in detail to your best.

    Attached is a table developed from the 'MUMSFACES' poster to help you summarise your analysis and have it presented tidily. This step is important and will help to prepare your design brain ready for further development of your initial ideas towards the final design.

    Should you have queries or need any clarification, please let me know anytime.

    Ngā mihi
    Mr N Chen
