Analyse objects
Morphological analysis
We analysebthe shape of teh object , its size, colour and basic physical characterictics .
Functional analysis
We study how the object works , its utility, how it is used and the potential risks of its use.
Technical analysis
We evaluate how the object was made
Economic analysis
We analyse the financial cost of manufacturing the product and its selling price.
Social analysis
We study the object from the point of the view of its social impact and analyse the humans needs that it meets.
Aesthetic analysis
We evaluate how our senses react to the object , it apperance, wether it looks nice or not,wether we find it attractive ,etc.
Historical analysis
We evaluate the possible reasons why the object emerged and its historical development.
Problem
First we have to detect the problem or need .
If we do not define the conditions of a problem correctly, we may have no-solution.
The possible solutions to the problem will differ depending on these requirements.
For example: If you were travelling from Madrid to Seville and your biggest constrain was cost,you would look for cheap transport
Possible solution
Information and reserch
Investigation
Search for possible solutions

TECHNICAL DESIGN DOCUMENTS
Drawings:
Drawings show how the object we are going to build will look. Prespectives and views are often used and the neccesary measuarements and details are added to the drawings.
List of materials and tools
Once we have designed our solution, it is very important to list all the materials that we will need to build it.
Budget
The budget is the document that we use to evaluate the financial cost of our solution.
Design
Drawings and diagrams or plans
Planning^
Prepare and plan the work
Price

Promotion
The promotion means advertising on TV , paper and digital media .The objective is that show us the product in way attractive to attract us to buy it.

Process sheet
We use this document to record the progress of the stages of our work each day.
