Flumps Poster, 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...

In addition it’s important machines are switched...
