Design Considerations
 The design should use a limited amount of colour, no more than three and be related to your theme.
 The design should be made mostly from paper but you can add other materials
 The piece must have a sculptural approach and be able to be easily seen
 The design should be easily worn
Are there any other design issues that you should consider as part of your brief?
Function Materials
Ergonomics Safety
Aesthetics/Style/Form Cost
Notes:
N4/N5 Jewellery Design Brief
Based on the information you have provided overleaf you must write your own design brief which has the
following;
 clear design requirements.

 Be clearly explained. Be specific avoid being vague.
 Be flexible enough to allow for creativity.
Example of a poorly written design brief;
“I am going to design a headpiece that has flowers on it, as I really like flowers. It should be bright and colourful
and is aimed at 15-50 year olds.”
Teacher Feedback: What is the function? Where is it likely to be worn? What type of person would it appeal to,
be specific. What are the restrictions regarding colour and materials? What is your source of inspiration?
Think about the style and size
An Example of a properly completed design brief;
“I am going to design a headpiece for a special occasion like a red carpet event. The target market is young female,
aged between 20 – 30 with an edgy style. It should be influenced by the floral theme but with a modern twist. The
colours should be bright and warm and must be restricted to three colours. The design should fit comfortably on
the head and be easy to take on and off. It must stand out in photographs and be clearly visible from a distance
whilst containing detail and pattern which can be viewed close up.
In the space provided below you must write up your own design brief and get feedback on it before getting it typed
up as this will be included in your overall submission.
