Just a few files to help you teach. GCSE Graphic Products is changing and in some schools the assessed coursework practical piece is indistinguishable from Product Design work.

Radio outline in pdf format for pupils to practise rendering on

Texture library links. Researched specifically for fabrics textures but useful for any graphic application and also for using for mood boards

The links below are related to dump bins and other POS merchandising units. These links should prove helpful in teaching about dump bins and also the social issues related to their use.

UK dump bin manufacturer and printer. displaypeople.com

Article from 2003 about problems with placing confectionary dump bins by tills at child friendly heights.

Article about how the KIT-Kat brand was revitalised.
I think this website copied it from another run by the DFEE
The file is a word document
