This is the art design cycle. This picture gives artists an idea and/or way to do their work efficiently and professionally. It gives order and instruction to make your work successful. Now I will give you a description of the 4 main steps of the design cycle.
First is investigate, investigate means to do research and figure if what you wanna do is possible this is always good to use as your first step. An example of investigating is before I make something in illustraitor I have to make sure there will be tools that will enable me to do whatever I had in mind and if there isnt the right tools I'll choose something else that im able to do,you never want to start a project and get through most of it then realize you cant do the rest and it looks like garbage.
Next we have plan, after you know that what you wanna do is possible by investigating now you got to make sure that you will be able to do it, for example teachers have to plan everything to make sure there class can stay on schedule and not get behind. A example of me having to plan is when were about to do a new project and I already investigated and then I have to figure out if I will have enough time to do whatever im doing, or when your parents plan a vacation and they don't want to destroy their work schedules
The next step we have is create, this is the most straight forward step, after you investigate and plan you start to create whatever you planned to make , this should be simple if you investigated and planed correctly. A example of me creating is knowing what I want to do on a project, knowing it is possible, then starting to work on it, when you create you wanna make sure you did investigating and planning if you did both of them fully the project should be simple and easy, if you didnt you will struggle and your project will probably not be good
Last but not least we have evaluate after your completely done with creating go back and try to think of some things you could do to make it better. A good idea is to show it to other people and see what they think you should change(friends,family,classmates,etc.). A example of me evaluating is when i have Investigated, planned, and created and I am "done" I always go back and make sure every thing is fine and I don't want to add anything else, for instance I am currently evaluating right now and i realized how much I wanted to add. after you have done this with purpose your project should be finished.
This was my description of the 4 main steps of the design cycle, I made this to show and tell people how to make succesful artwork because these steps are all you need to follow to make proffesional art thank you for reading.
