The Brief:

The Brief:

I am going to produce a folder/book of 5-6 mini briefs that I can use within a classroom for students years 7-11. I am doing a PGCE course next year and want to have a folder of project ideas to show my mentors for next year that I am able to design projects and lesson plans.

The briefs are going to be designed to give students the knowledge of being a Graphic Designer.

The aim of my projects are to give students the confidence in working within the school workshop which will prepare them for GCSE or A Levels.

I have been working on the current briefs for years 7-11 at Fulston Manor school where I do work experience. This has helped me to understand school projects, how they are run, what the outcome should be and also what is required from a teacher to ensure that the projects run smoothly.

The projects I have come up with, are:

Package your personality

Package a given emotion

Design your own identity and stationery

Make your own burger from the future

Produce a travel brochure for your favourite holiday or place

Produce a mini magazine on your favourite topic

A lot of my research has come from the existing projects from Fulston.
