Design Task
You are a product designer working for a firm that specializes in designing board
games. You have been tasked with designing and manufacturing an educational board,
a travel game or a board game based on popular culture such as movies, Tv series
or current affairs. It is important that the project is robust to prevent it from
breaking if dropped. The game should be fun and appeal to young children and adults
alike. The game must also be packaged to enable it to be advertised and sold in local
stores and craft fairs. This means costs must be kept to a minimum and you must be
able to make more than one of the same game.. The winning designs will be awarded
a lucrative contract to build.
