is run with a Graphic Design bias, but also incorporates key areas from Resistant Materials and involves learning the skills and knowledge to be able to analyse, visualise, design, model, and justify products from a wide variety of themed sources.

Coursework for Graphic Products manifests itself in a three tier portfolio which combines projects that can demonstrate the range of skills learnt on the course. The students have worked hard this year and have vastly improved their skills to produce some very impressive work.

esign and Technology launched a new course on Graphic Products this year with a small number of students going into KS5. The course
D & T Resistant Materials T
he GCSE Resistant Materials course this year undertook the scenario of designing a mechanical charity collection box in order to re-vitalise
the public’s interest in donating to charitable causes. Each student conducted research to fi nd a charity that they thought needed representation and followed the design process through Conception, Research, Design, and Development, until fi nal producing a working prototype to bring their projects to realisation. This project allowed the Resistant Materials students to put into practice the skills and knowledge gained throughout key stage 4, whilst gaining the experience of an industrial style approach towards designing for production and to a market driven specifi cation.
T
he GCSE Graphic Products course worked equally hard
to produce a range of packaging for Chocolates and cosmetics. The course gave the students an element of freedom with which to express themselves while also introducing them to industrial style production methods. The students grasped both challenges as they
utilised their skills and produced work of a very professional standard. As with all Design disciplines, the students followed the Design process from the very begining so that all decisions were objective and justifi ed throughout the course, therefore producing tangible and successful outcomes when the working prototypes were produced.
