Help, how do I pick two designers and companies to study?
So obviously I’ll have my DT exam soon, and the work of others is one topic I have simply never studied (somehow) the entire course. Thankfully it hasn’t come up in exams for a bit (at least not last year) but I’m very sure it will this year and I have no clue who would be the best to study. Please help.

Hi! For some context I studied OCR Design and Technology at GCSE, so can only speak from my experience - I don't know how similar the different exam boards are for this sort of thing.
In my experience, the work of others only came up as part of extended response questions, eg 'refer to specific examples in your answer'. For questions like this, having a basic knowledge of a few brands and designers will be enough.
From having a look online, it sounds like youre studying AQA? If so this website has some great short summaries of some key movements, brands and designers. Please do not memorise all of these!!
