FLUMPS: A3 Poster

An informative poster outlining how to analyse products and ideas in D&T. This follows 6 key areas of focus: Function, Looks, User, Materials, Pros/cons and Sustainability.

It serves as a systematic approach to dissecting and evaluating various aspects of a design idea/project. By considering each element individually, students can gain a comprehensive understanding of the problem at hand and develop effective solutions and outcomes.

This method allows students to be independent when analysing and ensures a wide range of areas are fully considered
