Year 7 Graphics

Starter:

Look at the patterns you have been given on your desk (or chose one you have brought in).

Now find the continent where you think they might have originated.

Are your patterns in each continent all similar? Why are they different around the world?

Random name picker........

explain your choice of continent.

If you can't assign a continent, how could you categorise your patterns?

Extension: Take photo's of patterns using Frog Snap - Can you spot the base unit of the pattern?

Draw in your book a square roughly 3cm by 3cm. (you can use three lines to estimate)

Create the base unit for your pattern. You could use the inspiration you have brought in to help you.

Repeat to create 3 different patterns.

Use 2D Design to transfer your design into CAD. This will enable your design to easily be repeated.

1. Start by drawing your square 3cm by 3cm using the Snap to Grid feature.

2. Use the fill feature to add colour to your pattern unit.

3. Remember to remove your outline and group your final design. The simpler the Better!

Extension: Photograph your sketch and then use Frog snap to upload your design to Frog. You can then trace/vectorise the image (ask me how!)

The cool bit! - Now you can use the array tool to experiment with creating your own pattern.

Use the array tool (watch demo) to practice making cool patterns. Group and save your patterns.

Extension: Could you use Circular array for a different effect?

Example:

My Design Brief

I am going to design and make a new range of chocolate and packaging for Rococo chocolates. It must be fairtrade.

The packaging will be based on an animal theme and will be sold in the Rococo shops.

Now write a list of points that explain exatly what your product does and how it will look. You should add at least one point on Aesthetics (looks), Customer, Environment, Size, Safety, Materials and Manufacturing.

You may need to undertake some more research into these areas to make sure your point is as specific as possible.

Evaluation Questions

Write in full sentences

1. List at least 3 new skills you have learned

2. If you had an opportunity to improve your skills, which would you like to practice?

The skills i would like to practice are:

Complete 5W's analysis, using a mind map format. What might you need to find out?

Evaluation is an important task in Design and Technology. It helps you to understand how you can improve your product.

You should identifywhat worked well and why (to get a level 3)

You must Identify strengths and areas for improvement in products you have made (to get a level 4)

You must Test and Evaluate your product in the context of it's intended use (to get a level 5)

If you want a level 6 you need to evaluate your product in use and justify suggestions for improvements.

Level 7+ - Speak to your teacher!

You should also evaluate your own progress using the Levels in the back of your book.

Packaging Analysis

Product Analysis

Modeling your net.

3. Look at your design and your final product. Explain if you have SUCCESSFULLY produced YOUR designs.

The packaging is successful because...

Adding pattern, components and your logo to your net in illustrator

Success criteria

Research

4. How would you change your packaging if you were to make it again?

5. PEER Assessment - Look at other students work and pick one that you like, explain why you like it.

6. Would you packaging meet your design brief, and be able to be sold in Rococ chocolates shop?

Task 1. In pairs and in your books, create a list of success criteria for the packaging. Think about the original design brief. e.g. Contains and original logo... etc...

Task 2. Complete and save your project with a sensible name in your DT folder. Check against your success criteria and if ready to print, send it to the A11 colour printer. Print one A4 copy for your books.
