Demonstrate Technical Skill

After deciding on what you topic and target audience, you’ll need to either create your visual elements, or find images on the commons. Check out the Objective B page or the “Chrome Apps” page when creating and editing your imagery, audio and video content.

Construct A Logical Plan

Demonstrate Technical Skills

Follow The Plan To Make The Solution

Justify Changes Made To The Solution

Your original plan might change over time. You might realize that you need to modify the plan or the design. Justify any changes that they make during the creation process.

Below is an example offered by the IB. The justification is in bold.

There are two main changes and modifications I have made to my original idea:

The hole on the edge of the small wooden pieces (used for the numbers) used to help lift the pieces was originally a square of dimensions 15mm x15mm. Nevertheless, I have found a better solution that is easier to create and is more practical. I will instead create a circle of radius 10mm. This will be done using a bench drill which is easier and faster than cutting it in a square shape using a saw, especially since I will be creating 20 pieces of these.

In the original plan, the snake was supposed to be painted on the top 600 x 420mm wooden piece, with the holes for the number pieces being in it. Nevertheless, I have found a better solution which is to cut out the snake (with the dimensions listed in the ‘Parts list’ page) and create the holes in the snake itself. This would not only make the product more attractive, it would additionally make its creation more practical and easier since it would be easier to rotate the snake than the whole board when creating the holes.
