2. Big Picture: Understand more about the products we use every day
Today we will learn to: Investigate, list, examine and justify the range of products we use every day
TASK 1: List every single product you use every day by taking a photograph and uploading it to the next slide.
Success Criteria:
Choose a typical day in your life during the holidays or a weekend for more variation
Take a photograph of every product you use….
To narrow down slightly only products which you can pick up (eg NOT your bed and the carpet)
Make sure the photograph is clear of the product and be able to see clearly what it is (no busy backgrounds if possible)
Upload the photographs to your google drive and copy and paste them into the next slide of this slideshow
Arrange images so they can all be seen, try and keep in proportion and scale

3. Task 2:
Choose one of the briefs below and design a range of suitable products.
Make sure ideas are innovative and creative.
Annotate them with possible materials and manufacturing processes and add notes to help explain how they would work.
Work on A3 paper and add colour neatly to your ideas.
