In this assignment, you will produce a conceptual design specification report for the attached case using a number of design techniques. Note that this is an individual, not a group, assignment. There are three deliverables required: an initial draft of a design specification report containing a narrative overview (Assignment 1a); an initial draft of the complete design specification report (referred to as Assignment 1b) and the final complete design specification report (referred to as Assignment 1c).

The purpose of the assignment is to simulate a proper systems design consulting project where you, as the designer, will need to work with the client to identify and elicit design requirements. In addition to the included case text below, you will be expected to ask questions of the client on the Assignment 1 discussion forum on Moodle.
