Research Before designing a product it is important to source ideas and inspiration from other existing products. You may find inspiration in things not directly related to what you are in the process of designing. Task: Use the space provided below to generate a Mood Board of images that may or may not be related to the product you are working on. They will inspire you to further develop your initial ideas.

Research

Mood Board

Task: The space below has been provided for you so that you can begin to generate a Mood Board of images that may or may not be directly related to the product you are working on. This will help you to generate design concepts as the project develops.

7

Research Mood Board Task: Use this page to source images associated with the product you intend to design and make.

Research images on the internet and paste them onto this page. This will begin to help you come up with ideas for the next stage in the design process.
