For this assignment you are required to develop and design a small-pocket object. Your final design should be illustrated using at least 3 different view points (elevations) and should be done on A3 (size) paper, including colour and annotations. Read the task instructions below carefully and use the media players and icon links for more help.
Task 1: Design Brief 1. For this assignment you are to design a small pocket object. A short video will be watched in class that shows how students at the Royal College of Art tackle this design project. After watching the video in class you will then need to think of at least SIX different pocket objects for your design. 2. Using TWO full pages in your sketchbook divide each in half so that you have FOUR work areas/ cells. Click on the 1st image icon (top of this task) for an example. 3. Inside each cell, illustrate your initial ideas and add annotations (written comments) that explain your idea: What it is? How it works? Who would use your pocket object? What your pocket object would be used for? etc. Click on the 2nd image icon (top of this task) to see an example of a past students work. 4. Add colour to your designs and backgrounds.

Click on the 1st image icon (EXPLORE) for an example of elevation drawing. 2. Annotate each of your illustrations/ Elevations to explain your idea fully. 3.
