1m2Designers

Over three weeks 1M2 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 Tuesday the 27th 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 Tuesday the 12th 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 Tuesday the 19th 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: Phillipe Starck Frank Lloyd Wright Charles Rennie Mackintosh Eero Aarnio Michael Graves and Jonathan Ive

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!)
