ABSTRACT
Design itself is a complicated activity requiring individual inputs from a whole group of people, who go to make up the design team. The total design process requires the design team to consider activities that include: market forces, design management, design specification, concept design, layout design and detail design, materials technology, manufacturing methods, financial and legal aspects, publicity, and sales. The total design process requires us to first analyse the design requirements, and then, to synthesise the many diverse design parameters so that, apart from the simplest of design tasks, the whole design process requires the combined skills and knowledge of a design team.
