For P5, learners must be given feedback from ‘users’, which in this case may be the tutors’ or other learners’ responses to the company stand. They should then modify designs based on this feedback and be able to explain the desired effect of these alterations.

arners need to use different file formats, different compression techniques, different image resolutions and different colour depths, and for each show the final file sizes and the differences between. Some will of course be more significant than others.

For M2, learners must justify the choice of tools, file format, image resolution and colour depth used when creating the images. The ‘justification’ asks for the reasons why those specific items were used.

M1 is a comparison. Normally a comparison would consider both good and less good points, but in this case only the limitations are being compared. Within the remit that the hardware and software must relate to the production of graphics, learners can select any hardware devices and compare the limitations of those, and then select any software packages and compare the limitations of these. Whilst it is more appropriate for learners to select the items themselves, the tutor can direct them to...

For D1, learners will research the ongoing changes in, and additions to, output media and the effect this has on the creation of graphic images.

For D2, learners need to use different file formats, different compression techniques, different image resolutions and different colour depths, and for each show the final file sizes and the differences between. Some will of course be more significant than others. Learners can receive guidance in selecting each attribute type but thereafter must produce the files and the comparison independently. It makes sense for learners to reflect on what they have used in creating the three associated i...

For P4, learners should create original images to present, for example, on the ‘company stand’ specified in the Programme of Suggested Assignments table. These images must have a defined purpose.
