1k3Designers

=S1 Designers Research Project= Over three weeks 1K3 will be researching some product designers in groups. They will be adding their findings here.

You will be working in groups of 3 or 4 and trying to find out information about one of the designers listed below.

On Monday the 26th of April we will split into groups and give you a designer, you will start trying to find out things about that designer and start putting together a Powerpoint slideshow.

On Monday the 11th of April we will do some more work on your presentations, and we will also start making a quiz sheet that you will give your audience.

On Monday the 18th of April you will have some time to preactice your presentations then you will deliver them to the rest of the class.

The list of designers we will be looking into is: Group 1 (Aidan Charlie, Ross, and Thomas will be looking at: **Jonathan Ive**

Group 2 (Scott, Jake, Darren, and Bradley) will be looking at **Phillipe Starck**

Group 3 (Molly, Chloe, Eden, and Caroline) will be looking at **Charles Rennie MacKintosh**

Group 4 (Erin, Naomi, and Charlotte) will be looking at **Michael Graves**

Group 5 (Hannah, Megan, and Sally) will be looking at **Frank Lloyd Wright**

Your group should be aiming to answer these questions in its presentation - and more:
 * Who is the designer?** (Where is he from? how old is he?)


 * What do they design?** (Buildings, furniture, kitchenware....?)


 * Is there something distinctive about their design?** (Usually you can tell who has designed an object by looking at it - they have an obvious style)


 * What is your opinion of their work, and why?** (Each person in the group should tell the class if they like the designer or not - it is good to have different opinions!)
