Cultural Food Packaging - Graphics Project

A KS3 graphics DT project that introduces students to packaging, materials associated with packaging and graphic communication techniques.

Full term project with slides and workbook.

The project will first introduce students to packaging and its history. They will learn how packaging has evolved over time. They will speciifcially focus on packaging of food items and learn about the important factors that need to be considered when packaging food. Students will then be given a design context to explore using subject specific methods of context exploration. They will be introduced to design briefs and specifications and then follow the design process of generation design ideas and developing them through modelling, they will be introduced to NETS and the aesthetic elements that need to be considered with graphic communication.

A great project to introduce students to graphic design. 49 slides that have been structured into outstanding lessons with clear objectives and success criteria. I have delivered this project for years and students enjoy the process.
