Innovation Pathway
Follow this pathway to figure out what you are supposed to do and when you are supposed to do it.
1. Planning
Skill Check
In the year prior to this one, you should have developed your skills independently. You need to show your teacher these skills either at the end of the year previous to starting, or at the start of the year.
This project is mostly independent so you will have to have the soft skills in order to work independently and the hard skills to complete your project.
For example if you are creating a video game you will need to show that you have unity skills and can program a small game.

Setup For Project
Create a folder inside your documents called "12DI Your Name".
All project files need to be inside this folder.
Decide which standards you are doing with your teacher.
Create a folder for each Assessment:
"AS91897 - Advanced Outcome" (This one is compulsory)
"AS91894 - Electronics"
"AS91893 - Digital Media"
"AS91891 - Design Concept"
"AS91896 - Programming"
Download all the documentation templates to their respective folders

Brain Storm - 2 Weeks
Spend two weeks coming up with a concept of a project that you want to complete.
I would recommend using a brain storming software
Your idea should have a purpose, potential end users, requirements and specifications.
Please look up these terms on this site:
https://year11digitech.weebly.com/purpose-potential-users-requirement-and-specifications.html
Your project needs to be checked off by a teacher
Documentation to Complete:
AS91891 - Concept Design - Brain Storm, End Users Section
AS91893 - Media Outcome, Complete the Purpose and End-Users Section.

Relevant Conventions (2 Lessons) - Concept Design, Media Outcome Only
With an Idea, Potential End Users, Requirements and Specifications it is now time to complete your relevant implications document and research relevant conventions for your outcome.
Convention Definition:
Convention Definition:
|
In the case of this video game listing hearts or life points in a corner of the screen is a convention. Using hearts and the colour red to depict health is also a convention.
|
You can use Chat GPT to help generate a list of conventions for your outcome.
Research conventions for your outcome, have websites as sources for conventions for your outcome.
Document Conventions:
"AS91893 - Media Outcome: update documentation with conventions you are going to use when creating your art assets"
"AS91891 - Concept Design - Complete the investigation part for relevant conventions"
