|| **The Design Cycle** is followed for every design technology project (yes, you're going be stuck with this so you might as well enjoy this ) and will also prove to be useful for projects later on in your life. The Design Cycle comprises of four major steps (ie. Investigate, Plan, Create, Evaluate).
 * Creating**, the third step, is the practical part of your project. Here, you will actually make whatever you've been planning. You will stick to your plan as accurately as possible, and keep track of your process in a Process Journal. Remember to refer to your time plan and investigation as necessary.


 * Investigation** is the research part of your project. You will begin formulating the premise of your project, using techniques such as brainstorming. You will then do in-depth research that is directly related to whichever topic you chose. This includes: Questionnaires, Surveys, Book and Web Research, Gathering Statistics, etc.


 * Planning** is the second stage of a project. This is where you create a schedule for you to work on your project. You will make a Time Table, and plan which lessons you will use for creating and evaluating. You will also plan for the gathering of any materials or resources you may need during the create process of your project.

The final stage of your project is **evaluation**. Here, you will reflect on what you've done, and by proxy what you've learned. Remember to include improvements you could have made, what you would have done differently, what you've learned, how this project will affect you beyond DT class, etc. Reflections are generally about 1 page long, typed, and handed in for grading. ||||~  || Graphic communications has many forms. Orthographics is one such form. It was developed as a way of communicating information about physical objects. It is part of a universal system of drawings. House plans - one well known drawing format, are a form of othographic projection. In simple terms, orthographic drawings are views (front, side, top, and so on) of an object. An orthographic view is only one side. It takes several views to show all the object. Before getting to views, it is useful to look at another type of drawing. Pictorial drawings show several sides at the same time. Many people find pictorial drawings easier to understand. They do not provide as much information as orthographic views. The most commonly used pictorial drawing for technical information is called isometric drawings. Isometric drawings were developed to approximate perspective, but are much easier to draw. For a square box, all the sides are drawn as vertical lines, or at 30 degrees to the horizontal. ||||~ [|Orthographic Drawing] || . ||  ||||||~   ||   || Orthographic Projection || ||  ||||||||~   ||
