What subjects would you need to take for GCSE to be a computer game designer?

ok so i have to chose my GCSEs soon and my school said to start thinking i want to be a computer game designer (a game like world of warcraft) but i am also a good chef so i want to take food tech

i am allowed 4 subjects, but after i have chosen food tech i have 3, what 3 should i take to be a game designer?What subjects would you need to take for GCSE to be a computer game designer?
I would have thought IT (obviously) and Product Design or Art would be the vital ones. And for the third choose something you'd enjoy or perhaps something you've never tried before.What subjects would you need to take for GCSE to be a computer game designer?
Your GCSEs are not the most vital exams you will take; it does not matter so much which subjects you take, or indeed their relevance. A levels and what you do in your spare time matter far more.

When you take your GCSEs everyone stresses a lot, but once you've taken them you realise that no one really looks at them.



When applying for courses at Uni, the Unis prefer you to have good A-levels and have spent lots of time at home programming simple bits and pieces.



All the same, if you know what you want to do already then having relevant GCSEs will boost your applications.



ICT/IT

Art and Design

Product Design

Design and Technology

Graphics

Electronics



I'd suggest taking 2 of the above, namely IT and Graphics/Art if you can, but then taking another subject that just interests you.



You are only in Year 8/9 ? and what you want to do may, and probably will change, so be aware that if that is the case if you don't have a broad range of GCSE subjects then you may have problems picking certain A-level courses. (eg: without a humanities subject at GCSE, some schools do not let you take history, geography, sociology, etc for A-level) I recommend personally that your choice is a language, or a humanities subject.





Hope that helps?
