Year 8 Product Design Club

In the Year 8 Product Design club, students produced vibrant keyring designs. Inspired by the work of Yinka Illori, a multidisciplinary artist and designer, students drew on his bold use of geometric patterns and colour to develop some very eye-catching ideas. Illori’s own designs are influenced by his British-Nigerian heritage. 

The Year 8s began by experimenting with shape and colour to create card models. These were converted to a format ready lasercutting. With sustainability in mind, leftover acrylic offcuts from this year’s Design Technology projects were put to good use.

The final products looked fantastic. Well done to all the Year 8 designers for taking part and thank you to our sixth form prefect, Erin, for helping!
