 * __Contextualisation.__**

The context I will be working in for my GCSE will be the area of storage. Most things have to be stored in some way, clothes, accessories, DVD's all need to be stored and stored safely. Small things are very easy to loose and in this case storage becomes very important, small things that require storage are things like contact lenses and jewellery. The storage systems can be designed to protect and keep the stored items safe.

__**Design Problem**__

A local jeweller wants to offer their clients a small "something" when they buy a piece of jewellery from them. They believe that this could help them market their shop and in the long run lead to an increase in sales. They want to investiate the possibility of giving away small storage systems with the pieces that they sell.

I have been commisioned by the shop to design a range of storage systems that will be given away by the shop with jewellery pieces that they sell. The storage units that I design and develop must be able to be mass produced as cheaply as possible as they will be given away. Although they will be given away they must not appear cheap as this could damage the reputation of the shop. They require me to present my designs in mid january 2010.
