resistant materials or graphics??

Hello I am looking for a career in architecture, product design or something like that. I would like to know which Graphics or Resistant Materials would be better to take. I'm going to take:

-English
-Double Science
-Maths
-PE
-Short Course Religious studies
-Geography
-Media
-Art
-and Resistant materials or graphics.

Has anyone got any other suggestions for my options? Do you know anything about graphics or resistant materials? Does it matter which one I take?

Thanks for reading
I do Resistant Materials, I would say that it is easy as long as you are creative, can draw and do loads of course work, which I can't :smile:. I would love to have done Graphics as I do use Photoshop and other graphical software like paintoolsai but I never had the chance, also I would like to think that it has quite a lot of course too.

Thanks for your help.
What do you do in resistant materials. Do you think it would be good for someone who was wanting to go into design?

Resistant materials, in my school you make a table. Pretty cool.

I'm in year 11 and I'm just coming to the end of my Graphics controlled assessment. I'd say that it can be really fun if you like designing and making little products but, especially when it gets to the controlled assessment, it is a lot of work. In the grand scheme of things, it probably doesn't particularly matter which one you take as they can both relate to architecture, just choose which ever sounds best to you.
They're both really fun. I do graphics and it's been really enjoyable, but all of the people who do RM really like it to. They're actually pretty similar. If you're more interested in engineering or product design, I'd recommend RM. If you're more interested in people, advertising or graphic design, I'd recommend graphics.
