Sketchbook- Idea development, Making of & Evaluation

Part 2- 'How to create a sketchbook'! 

After defining possible criteria and visual analysis, the next step is idea development. What is it exactly?

1. Your random ideas. (any possible idea you may think of!, normally 15)
2. 5 proposals out of the 15 random ideas
3. Evaluate the 5 proposals against your defined criteria and assess. (Assessing is optional but helps to have a more accurate idea)
4. Develop the 5 proposals in depth. (Material, Not to scale dimensions, possible improvements)
5. Choose your final idea after assessing :)

Keep your labels as simple as possible

Generating random ideas (1-15)

Choosing 5 proposals out of random ideas

Assess your proposals

Developing the proposals

Overview of chosen idea in 2D/3D

Still keeping the labels simple

Finding all the appropriate shapes for the pull toy as it is for kids, remember to match against criteria. May take up a lot of pages.

Overall dimension

Materials and quantity to be used

Colour swatches for the final product

Actual materials to be used

Add pictures of your making of process

Sketch models to test for possible flaws and what will work/not

Evaluation against criteria

And voila! You're done creating a sketchbook :)
I hope it helps anyone out there having no clue as to how to start a sketchbook! Good luck!
