You should use both sides of the paper. Each of the five parts (a) – (e) of the question that you choose to answer should take up one side of paper. When you are asked to develop a design you must show, using sketches and notes, the development and evaluation of a range of ideas into a single design proposal. The design proposal should be annotated to give details about materials, joining methods and important sizes. 7 Fig. 8 shows an incomplete design for a pair of bunk beds.
