What the college says

Edexcel's A Level in Design & Technology: Product Design - Graphic Products emphasises two key factors; creativity and sustainability. Students are encouraged to explore ideas of originality and value, to question and challenge, to envisage what could be. All modern designers have to consider sustainable issues when designing new products. A sign of the modern technological age that we live in is that human actions have had a negative impact on our environment, therefore products should provide solutions rather than add to the existing problems of extraction, use of natural resources, pollution from manufacturing and disposal of large amounts of waste products.
