The final chapter of Aspelund’s The Design Process, is the production stage. When a project goes into production, the designer needs to be a leader and a team member. This is where communication, feedback and teamwork are very important. This is also the stage where prototyping, budgeting, scheduling, materials, and sustainability take place. Within all of the previous six stages, we have learned how to budget, manage time, and also about ways to try and be eco-friendly. All of these steps are vital to ensure that the creation of the project will be functional in the end. The designer must continue to overlook the production stage to make sure that everything is going accordingly and can be there to communicate to the team if there are any last minute issues or questions. Lastly, remember to document all projects with a camera, video, scanner, etc. And also be sure to have a backup of your work stored in a different place just in case. In the end, Aspelund goes to say, “Treat the end of each project as a learning opportunity… Using the knowledge of the stages and the thoughts and approaches suggested here, you should be able to design with energy, interest, and, most important, with joyful inspiration” (Aspelund 181).
