THE DESIGN PROBLEM AND DESIGN BRIEF |
You are to design and make a toy based on a cam mechanism. The character (in this case, a duck) is an example only. You may consider using an existing character or one that is completely your own design. |
INITIAL RESEARCH |
You are to start by carrying out research into the character, that you could adopt and use. One way of doing this is to look at existing characters (see below). |
An alternative is to create your own images / characters (see below). |
Present your images / your own drawings using the design template ‘CAM MECHANISM - PROJECT - INTRODUCTION’ Download the template by clicking on the link at the top of the page |

HOW TO PRESENT YOUR IDEAS |
The next stage is to start designing the cam toy and the way the cam mechanism interacts with the images. Use the template CAM MECHANISM - IDEAS - SHEET. The example below, shows how each idea can be set out and the type of notes supporting your design idea. |
A sample ideas sheet is shown below, with one idea shown completed. Download the template by clicking on the link at the top of the page |
