Following the Design development of your product, you now need to consider the important issues that are encompassed within these issues.
Your pages will vary somewhat depending on the projects you have chosen to pursue. However, you will need to produce a minimum of three pages (maximum of six) in this section. They may take the form of the following examples:
Development - Planning:
Development - Shape / Style / size:
Development - Fabric Choice:
Develpoment - Decorative Techniques:
Development - Construction Techniques:
Development - Social / Moral / Environmental / Costing / H&S issues:
- Produce a Development planning page - An overview of what you intend to investigate in the planning stages

2. Produce a 'Fabric development page'.
Present the range of fabrics you have been investigating as suitable for your product that reflect your specification and colour palette
You should include a chart or a spiderdigram that refers back to your specification points and outlines the requirements of your fabric choice
Investigate in chart form the most suitable (3-5 max) fabrics from the choices presented and discuss properties of the fabrics with relevance to your own final product and specification
(See Fabric properties chart to support your investigation)

3. Produce a Development Shape / Style / Size page
This page will take a format similar to below.
- It will have a section that discusses and reviews your ' Design thinking so far'
- It will have a series of design ideas that improve on the strongest design in your design development - The design idea that best reflects your brief, task analysis and design specification.
- These designs should differ in shape, pattern, fabric choice and be an improvement each time, being more suitable for what you have identified in your Design specification.
- Refer back to your Design specification in your annotation - identifying why it is more suitable.
4. Produce a page - Development Planning - Decorative techniques
This page will look somewhat similar to the examples below. Depending on how many samples you have produced, you may exceed one page in this instance.
- Produce an introduction that looks at the styles of decorative techniques you could investigate that are suitable to your project and reflects on decorative techniques that you explored in your design development sketches. If you did not, this is the time to revisit some of your design development and add some decorative techniques
- Produce a small spiderdiagram that investigates suitable techniques for your project
- Produce approximately 4-8 samples of techniques that you could use.
- Explain briefly how to do the technique. Analyse fully the effectiveness of your techniques for your project and Design specification.
5. Produce a page - Development Planning - Construction techniques
This page will look somewhat similar to the examples below. You should only need to work on one page. Include:
- A sketched of you final design with annotation to fully explain - This should be the actual product you are now making
- Quick plan of making your product - just the basics
- A checklist for anything you may still need to investigate - Remember this is in assuming you have no produced your garment / product yet
- In investigation into the construction techniques you are intending to use - seams, hems, overlocking darts, buttons, button holes, gathers, pleats etc. This will be specific to your garment. A sample should be produced as well as an in-depth explanation of the process.
Additional pages you may consider in the development section:
Further Development - this may look at any 'during' production changes you have made, alteration to design or decoration as your product has progressed. See example below:
You will also have to consider the Moral, social, cultural, sustainability issues of your product as identified in the examples below:
Produce a page - Development - Social, moral, cultural, Safety and Sustainability
