DESIGN TECHNOLOGY: PRODUCT DESIGN

Talent for Technology?

Be stubborn, be creative, be different” James Dyson
Product Design, a stepping stone to a career or apprenticeship.

We are surrounded by products and design:
from the phones we use, the homes we live in, the clothes we wear, the tables and chairs we sit at, all are things that someone has designed.

Product Design

Product design is a fast moving syllabus that motivates and captures students enthusiasm. Encouraging them to develop their own ideas through imaginative and creative thinking. Having a bright idea is crucial but it is just the start of the process of making successful products and inventions.

Taught by a team of professionals with industry experience:

Mr Carroll – Engineering
Mrs Bryce – Shop fitting, exhibition and graphic design
Mr Kinder – Craftsman

Product design offers the opportunity to work with mixed media offering modules in:

•Design and product development
•Engineering
•Furniture Design
•Graphics
