Hand Made Food is a Traiteur based in Blackheath. The shop sells food cooked on the premises it also stocks produce from select suppliers, it has a seating area upstairs and outside. When the chefs are not cooking for the shop they could be cooking for outside catering. Hand Made Food's business is centered around the shop/Traiteur although their main business is catering for events such as wedding and birthdays.

The Student is to design and build Hand Made Food a website that is an extension of their business. The Website needs to be an accurate reflection of their business; It and any functions it may have must be compatible with Hand Made Foods customers, staff and brand image.

The student should organise and take on research to inform and support the design decisions, The design should also be tested. Initial consultations indicated that a content management system may be required, the student is to research if this is necessary and design accordingly.

This is paid work, So the student will need to arrange a contract with the client (HMF) and the website will need to be 'live' before assessment.

• Evidence of design research
• A website that represents the Hand Made Food business
• Bespoke Content management system
• Blogging platform
• Quote request and bespoke hamper forms (with anti spam and validation)
• Basic e-commerce functionality

It is intended that at the end of this unit the students will be able to:

• Demonstrate a thorough awareness of the published information relevant to your chosen contexts/subject matter.
• Demonstrate analytical ability through the ability to appraise the project contexts and apply a range of analytical tools and methods in developing a professional approach to the work produced for the unit.
• Demonstrate the ability to respond to the given contexts/issues by the following:
  • Structuring a design project around the contexts/issues.
  • Organising time and resources to meet project requirements.
  • Generating creative design solutions in response to the contexts/issues.
• Demonstrate the ability to synthesise and develop design ideas through to a finished design/research/work proposal/solution.
• Demonstrate the ability to effectively communicate all aspects of the project through:
  • A presentation at the end of the unit of the conclusion of the work undertaken. This should be in a form appropriate to the nature of the work undertaken.
  • A clear and concise summary of the project contexts/issues and design/research/work proposal/solution.
• A record of the evolution of the design/research/work ideas.

At the end of the unit the students will be assessed on the degree to which the work:

• Demonstrates that the student has undertaken a search of the published information relevant to the chosen contexts/subject matter and that the work produced demonstrates an awareness of the relevance of particular pieces of information relevant to the project.
• Demonstrates that the student has appraised the project contexts and been able to apply a range of analytical tools and methods and has developed a professional approach to the work produced for the unit, based on this information.
• Demonstrates that the student has the ability to respond to the researched contexts/issues by the following:
  • Structuring a design project around the contexts/issues.
  • Organising time and resources to meet project requirements.
  • Generating creative design solutions in response to the contexts/issues.
  • Demonstrates the ability of the student to synthesise and progress the project from research/concept through to a finished design/research/work proposal/solution.
  • Demonstrates the ability to effectively communicate all aspects of the project through:
    • A presentation in a form appropriate to the nature of the work undertaken.
    • A clear and concise summary of the project.
    • A record of the evolution of the design/research/work ideas.
