Year 10 Design and Technology

Year 10 Design and Technology students recently were challenged with a brief to design and produce a unique tealight holder using innovative technologies, and then market their creation with Adobe skills acquired earlier in the year.

The heart of this project was the creation of a tealight holder that not only served its functional purpose but also stood out to demonstrate the students’ design knowledge. Students delved into design principles, exploring shapes, materials, and target market considerations before physically producing the tealight holder using woodwork skills, laser cutting skills, and joining skills. 

After completing their physical tealight holders made from either wood or acrylic, the students ventured into branding, creating primary, secondary, and submark logos that symbolise their designs. Accompanying taglines served as compelling marketing tools, and moodboards, designed with Adobe Photoshop skills, visually conveyed the atmosphere of their creations.

The next challenge involved capturing the essence of their tealight holders through effective photography to create an enticing allure for their product. The project's culmination witnessed students applying Adobe skills to design captivating packaging and magazine covers! These elements not only protected the tealight holders but also showcased the students' creativity, promising a visual journey into innovative design.

The result of this unit was a diverse array of tealight holder campaigns, each reflecting the unique perspectives and creativity of the design student. This unit has not only honed the students’ design skills but has provided them a learning experience of the processes involved in businesses when designing and marketing a product.
