Product Design A Level - would it be useful if i want to pursue a publishing career?

i'm currently taking graphic products as a gcse. I want to do Product Design as an A level next year because I think it would help me for getting a publishing job in the future.

so, if you've done a Product Design A Level (or AS) how hard is it? do you personally think it would be a useful A level for the publishing industry?

@CoolCavy
You do Product Design don't you?

i do indeed AS atm thanks for tagging me
in response to the OP:
it really isn't that hard imo, in fact i would say compared to my other A levels both the exam and the coursework are the easiest subject. The workload isn't horrendous either, especially not compared to art (do both and managing just fine ). As long as you are organised with your portfolio and get it done on time then it isn't stressful and the theory side is actually very interesting and quite straightforward i think it might not directly (not as much as something like english) but in combination it would help i think as you learn all about batch production, manufacturing methods etc
any questions feel free to ask and i hoped that helped a bit x

thank you!

so, what do you actually do in product design? what's the main focus on?

hey sorry for the late reply, ironically i was doing PD coursework

well i would say that the main focus is on practical (making and designing) as i have 7 lessons of practical a fortnight but 3 lessons of theory a fortnight however it is 50% 50% so do not neglect the theory side as you can't get a good mark without it xx

I never knew what Product Design was I thought it was just kind of like graphics. Is it like a mix between resistant materials and graphics?

Take product design after u have taken triple science
