五、阅读理解。
Most designers follow a set of steps(步骤) to make their ideas happen. Let's see how you can be a designer.
Step One: Define(明确) a problem or need.
Suppose(假设) you have a new dog but don't have a doghouse. Your dog needs a doghouse. You might have a good idea for a birdhouse or a fish tank, but that won't fill this need. The first step is to know what problem to solve. The design must suit the need.
Step Two: Define a good outcome.
The desired outcome(理想效果) is different for different designers. A fashion designer designs clothes of different styles. But stores already have lots of clothes. Why do they want new styles? The reason is that stores always want people to buy clothes there. Fashion designers need to design the clothes that people want to buy. The clothes should be different from the old ones. Wearing them should make people feel good.
So you should imagine what your new doghouse is like. You could buy a doghouse at a pet store. Why do you need to design your own? How will yours be different? What will make your new doghouse a nice one? Now you know where the idea starts and where it is going.
Step Three: Describe the situation(描述状况) as it is now.
What resources(资源) are there? How can you use them? You should think about your resources. Do you have a place for a doghouse? Is the land grassy or rocky? Think about the weather. Will your dog need shade from the sun?
Also, what will the house be made of? Do you have the materials? Do you have someone to help you build it?
