Design Cycle 3 - Investigate

I have found a better way to show the different stages of the Design Cycle! I hope it is more convenient.

Although I didn't make the Problem Statement or Design Brief, here it is, so you can understand more about this Design Cycle:

PROBLEM STATEMENT:

The Chinese department at CDNIS feel that many people within the community are not familiar with the significance of the Chinese Lunar New Year, a culturally significant event in the Chinese Calendar. Although it has been a custom of the school to celebrate Chinese Lunar New Year with events such as the Chinese New Year concert, flower fair and CNY themed dress down day, the Chinese studies department feels that the community need to become more familiar with the customs, traditions and festivities of Chinese Lunar New Year.

DESIGN BRIEF

You are going to design and make an enhanced podcast for the CDNIS community to celebrate the cultural significance of the Chinese Lunar New Year. You will use Mandarin to introduce phrases, characters, customs and traditions associated with the Lunar New Year. Using applications such as Garageband and Keynote, you will produce a visually attractive and easy to hear enhanced podcast. To test the effectiveness of your product, you will create appropriate survey questions based on the design specifications.
