GCSE: Product Design?

Question

I'm not going to be in year 11 in a few days

and i have taken product design as one of my options

we've done a few projects and stuff as a mock but this year, it's real

we have to come up with something that i can make and design a packaging for it

for example

if i choose to do a perfume,

i would have to find an empty bottle

thn i would have to make a box to put the bottle in and thn make some sort of advertising and stuff like in perfume shops

so if i choose to do a game console

i would need to make the console

thn make a box and some instructions that goes with it

some other stuff too

but i dont know what to do

it can be anything

not just a game console or a perfume

any ideas??

Answer 1

Well quite a lot of my friends did Product and most of them did the perfume bottle (way more straight forward)

They did it a bit different though. They made the bottle out of wood and spray-painted it and stuff and then made the box and sales display and stuff. They looked really good.

Don't do something completely different from everyone else. I did that in Textiles and it was a pain. You have to do more written work explaining it and stuff. Plus if you do the same as other people, you can help each other.
