PFD400- Discovery Designer for Industry
Design Brief:
Design a domestic product that measures weight or volume. You are encouraged to explore beyond any personal experiences you may have by identifying a “user group” and creating a product concept appropriate to their needs and aspirations.
A product to help encourage younger children to help with cooking and baking, it’s a range of moulds each with different key baking measurements so kids can learn through play. As well as promoting useful life skills like cooking and baking, it also helps with enrichment in younger ages through sensory play.
