Component 1
Revise: Design ContextsA context is the situation within which something exists or happens. Design does not take place in isolation: it responds to circumstances in the real world. The people involved, the activities they carry out, the surroundings and wider concerns can all influence what a designer produces.
When explaining how a context informs an outcome, link a feature of the situation to a design decision and explain why it matters.
Distinguish the broad context from the focused design brief: a context can lead to several different design tasks.
