Design drawings and models

Design drawings and models embody design ideas and take them a step further in an iterative development process.

Both are done to scale and may include measurements (design drawings). They allow to assess possible user experiences.

Appearance models are refined three-dimensional prototypes, so finished that they appeared to be manufactured products.

Design embodiments can elicit:

• Responses to help evaluate alternative concepts and scenarios;
• Feedback to assist in assessment of alternatives to inform decision-making;
• Information for thinking ahead.
