Textiles students have the opportunity to explore a wide range of fabrics and components used in the design of textiles products. Candidates work with materials, design drawings and models (three dimensional and on paper) to develop design ideas into working products and also explore the work of professional designers in fashion, textiles and stage design. Through this they develop an understanding of how designs are conceived, manufactured and evolved. Students explore materials and processes, methods of manufacture and wider issues of environment and sustainability. How products are developed and improved, design methods, CAD and CAM (computer aided design and manufacture) are explored together with finishes and surface decoration. Design projects allow students to explore design history, developments in technology and designing for the human context (user needs, ergonomics and fashion trends). The AS folio allows pupils to explore materials, processes and design ideas through a range of design and make projects. Students have the opportunity to design and produce a range of items to develop skills and explore design ideas. Throughout the course students can work with partner companies to tackle real design challenges. For the A2 coursework students design and produce a product of their choice. A2 coursework is assessed upon the completion of a design folder and a substantial piece of practical work.
