Thanks for your comments. I think there are three overlapping stages with design drawing.
1) Concept or initial ideas in which you fire off as many possible ideas as you can that meet your criteria or specification. You can make models as well, photograph your concept models and collage them with your ideas either digitally or manually.
2) Development of a chosen idea in which you refine, improve, adapt and explore its physical construction and how it works. Model how your concept fits together or how it could work. In the case of mechanical toys you could model the mechanism to move the toy. collage your models and drawings together onto one sheet if necessary.
3) Planning the making of a chosen idea to include presentation views, dimensioned working drawings planning the logical sequence of making.
Get yourself a layout pad which is like a more paper like tracing paper to copy details previously drawn but without the bits you dont want. It saves you drawing the same thing over and over. Dont aim to compose a whole page in one go! I end up with up to ten separate diagrams which I compile digitally or by hand into a final page. Do lots of research into existing products or techniques and keep a scrapbook. Very little genuinely new or innovative is ever done. Most desighners adapt orrefine something that already exists.
I will put some stuff in my scraps for you. Glad you like the Smiths. I was in this audience at some time in 1984.

Thank you for responding
I have been doing that, in my school we go through those stages.
Except we dont make models. Which i think sucks because i think that would be when you realize wheater you like your design or not. We are designing an ipod mp3 at the moment. We're supposed to keep the apple "feel".
I never thought of keeping a scrapbook of researchs... I will do that from now on. As for techniques... pen/pencil on paper and prisma color marker rendering on vellum are all i know. I also know how to use autocad, kind of.
I will sure get a layout pad! that'll save me a lot of time which would be nice. Thank you! this helped me a lot
i'll be looking forward to the things you post thanks so much!
Thats amazing and lucky! i've never been to a concert before (going to save myself until a band i really really want to see comes down here)I enjoy listening to the Smiths. and many others.

You are welcome. I always struggled with composing a design page as if I was doing a painting. It caused me a lot of anxiety and inhibited my work. Now I can easily have fifteen to twenty separate pieces of paper with ideas on. I then use Photoshop or something to compose them together on one or two sides. the main thing is to take the pressure of the big, completed outcome off your shoulders. Use different materials and media and collage or compile the results as a presentation of some sort such as A1 size? As for the future, keep your options open and dont be too specific about what design product or discipline you want to do. I will put some other pages on for you. thank you for your interest and happy new year.xxx
