WHAT THE EXAM BOARD SAY :
- AO4 Presentation of creative responses that are essentially personal, effectively realise stated intentions and fulfil design requirements.
- Explicit connections made, where appropriate, between the different elements of the submission, including contextual, practical and written responses, presenting work that is meaningful, well informed and in an order which can be easily followed.
- Consideration of different presentational formats, such as public transport advertising or bus shelter posters, selecting the most appropriate of these for the submission, giving due regard to the purpose of the work and how it might engage the interest of an audience or potential clients.
- If the print size or cost of a preferred format is a constraint, then this could be drawn, described and/or presented as a scale model. (photoshop)
Design boards should be made using photoshop (check resolution is 300dpi ) & taken to print via the Print room - the cost is around £8 for an A2 size. (Bursary students may get this funded)
