Reflect and Redesign

Front

When generating a solution, a designer creates either a model or a ________________.

Back

prototype

Front

If your initial design doesn't fully solve the problem or meet the challenge, you must go back and revise your plan. This is part of which step in the Design Process?

Back

Redesign and Reflect

Front

You begin to create a prototype of your design only to find that your solution isn't working at all. What should you do?

Back

Go back to an earlier stage and choose another solution
