6. Laurel Tully 2011 The design brief Context Of all the sports I have ever played, surfing is without doubt my favourite. I really cant remember a time when I havent been able to surf. My Nan and Pa have had a house at Torquay since I was just a toddler and so we have spent most weekends there every summer. My Pa was one of the original surfies at Jan Juc and other beaches along the surf coast and he taught me to surf when I was really young. The context provides sets the scene for the design brief.The context provides sets the scene for the design brief.
7. Laurel Tully 2011 The design brief (Context continued) Two of my friends from school, Ben and Sam, are also
keen surfers and so we have decided to head to the surf for a couple of days after our final exams in early December for our own Shortboard Classic.
My Nan and Pa have offered to let us stay at their house on Friday and Saturday but we will need to take some of our own supplies as I dont want Nan to have to do all of the meal preparation. As I quite enjoy cooking, I have decided to make some of the main food items we will eat over the two days.
8. The design brief Specifications (considerations and constraints) We will need some food items for a casual dinner on Friday and breakfast and lunch on Saturday. Specification1 I will also need to prepare some savoury and sweet snack items we can take to the beach Specification2 as we will no doubt be hungry after spending so long in the water.
On Saturday night we will have a celebratory dinner with my Nan and Pa before we leave and so I will need to make a dessert to share for dinner. The dessert needs to be quite special and look spectacular Specification3 so that it is the grand finale to a great weekend.
The specifications from which evaluation criteria can be drawn are indicated.

9. Laurel Tully 2011 The design brief Specifications (continued) Just as importantly, I can show my Nan that all the hours she spent teaching me how to cook while we were staying at Torquay werent wasted!
The food will also need to be appealing to us and satisfy our healthy appetites Specification4. As we will be leaving for Torquay straight after our last exam, all of the food needs to be prepared several weeks in advance and have good keeping qualities.Specification5
I also want to use a variety of complex processes Specification6 so that the products I produce are of a very high quality.

10. Laurel Tully 2011 The design brief Specifications (continued)
My Nan is a great fan of television cooking shows and I want to show her that I am now quite a skilled cook too even if not yet in the league of the experts on her favourite show!
11. Laurel Tully 2011 Developing criteria for evaluation Use the identified specifications in the design brief (considerations and constraints) to develop relevant evaluation criteria questions
Five or six good evaluation questions are required
Combine more than one specification into a question if necessary
12. Laurel Tully 2011 Criteria for evaluation Have I been able to prepare a range of food items suitable for a casual dinner on Friday and breakfast and lunch on Saturday?
Was I able to produce some savoury and sweet snack items suitable to take to the beach?
Did the range of food items include a special dessert to share for dinner on Saturday night? The numbered specifications in the design brief relate to the numbered criterion for evaluation.The numbered specifications in the design brief relate to the numbered criterion for evaluation.
13. Laurel Tully 2011 Criteria for evaluation Will the food be appealing to young males and will it be filling enough to satisfy healthy appetites?
