1 . Why is it important to decide on occasion, production, budget, and market before beginning a design project?

2. Give two examples of math skills you would use while creating a design project.

3. Give an example of when a very expensive, specially-made button would be a need instead of a want.

4. The four areas you must focus on when beginning a design project are occasion, production, budget, and market. In your opinion, which of these areas is most important to a successful project? Give one or more reasons for your answers.

5. Trina dry cleans nearly every garment she wears. Trina’s mother wants to persuade Trina to buy more clothes that are machine washable so that the family doesn’t have to spend so much money and time at the dry cleaners. “But the dry cleaners says that it sanitizes clothes,” Trina says. “Isn’t it better to have sanitized clothes?” Provide an explanation of techniques that dry cleaners use so that Trina will understand more about the process. Then give your opinion about whether dry cleaning or machine washing is a better way to take care of clothing.

Step 1: Choose a Location

Read all the steps of this activity before you begin it. In this unit, you have learned about the importance of barrier-free design. Now it’s time to find out how much of your world is barrier-free for people who have disabilities. Choose a location to test. This can be within your school, such as your classroom, student bathrooms, the cafeteria, the gym, or a stage. Another option might be a community center or your local library.

Step 2: Research Local Laws

Use the internet to find out which laws apply to public or private buildings in your community, state, region, or country. Find two or three measurements to test. For example, how wide must a doorway to a classroom be to accommodate a wheelchair? How large must a restroom stall be? Where must fire alarms or light switches be placed? What about drinking fountains or sinks?

Step 3: Measure and Record Your Results

Measure the doorway, sink height, or other factors that you have chosen. Record your results and compare them to legal requirements.

Step 4: Report Your Results

Create a short video to send to the building owner (if it is a privately owned building) or to a local government official (if it is a publicly owned building), Describe what you found. Explain why the regulation you chose is necessary. For instance, it doesn’t matter if a bathroom stall can accommodate a wheelchair if the only doorway to the bathroom is too narrow for the person to reach the stall. Using the informal presentation techniques you learned about in this unit, do your best to present your ideas in a professional way.
