The Design Cycle “The Solution to cramming.”-Johann Lam(Xavierian)
What is the Design Cycle? THISis the Design Cycle.
What is it for? The Design Cycle is a 5 step-process which allows the user to make whatever product he/she wants to make, step-by-step. This allows for the user to possess an organized plan on how to make his/her product without cramming.
5 Steps? Exactly! There are 5 steps in the Design Cycle. In order, they are the Investigate Stage, the Design Stage, the Plan Stage, the Create Stage and finally, the Evaluate Stage. Investigate Stage Design Stage Plan Stage Create Stage Evaluate Stage
The Investigate Stage The Investigate Stage is the first and foremost process in the Design Cycle. This is where the problem is identified and a solution for the problem is made. This is also where all related research is done.
The Design Stage The Design Stage is the second process involved in the Design Cycle. In the Design Stage, you will need to think of what your product will look like, pretty obvious looking at the name though.
The Plan Stage In the Plan Stage, you will need to think of a plan on how you are going to make your product. This plan should include a timeline, calendar, etc. Specifically, things that will help you prevent cramming and help you distribute time evenly.
The Create Stage The Create Stage is probably the MOST IMPORTANT process involved in the Design Cycle. This is where the product is finally made into a reality. All of the other processes actually revolve around this one process.
The Evaluate Stage The Evaluate Stage is the final process involved in the Design Cycle. This is where the final product made in the create stage is evaluated and examined for any possible defects. If any problems are found on the product, the situation may call for you to go back to the design stage and follow the cycle again.
Did you get all of that? Here’s a little quiz to see if you understood everything. Rules: Identify what stage of the Design Cycle is being shown in each picture.
Question #1 Investigate Stage Design Stage Plan Stage Create Stage Evaluate Stage

Now that you’ve mastered the Design Cycle… Now I shall let you in on a little secret… A lot of products seen around the world these days are actually products of the Design Cycle. Even this presentation that you are seeing right now is made using the Design Cycle itself!
Now that you know… All of your tasks can be done easier now that you know how to make use of the Design Cycle!
Now… Go out there and make us all proud!
