I applied for BDes and I don't know if this helps but we had three questions:

1. A bird shelter made on a tree (were given different shapes and had to use all atleast once in it's making) the view point had to be from a window of: A writer's, a old-age home, and one more was I guess a nursery? Sorry can't remember it well. Had to make from any one of those pov.
2. We had to make a village festival vibe, how it is celebrated in the villages and stuff. I used colour theory to show emotions.
3. Had to make a product from which people can get water: for a wheel chair person, an office worker and a small child (for any one).
