Step 1: Preparatory Sheet (RESEARCH)

Your A2 sheet of preparatory work should be done prior to the examination and should consist
of your research. The contents should be a selection of personal interpretations and
researched ideas relating to the question you have chosen. Your work may be annotated. Work
on one side of your A2 sheet only. If, in addition to drawing in pencil, pen, paint or working in
collage etc., you choose to use photographs or printed images, all such images must be stuck
flat on to your A2 preparatory sheet.

Step 2: Preliminary Sheet (DEVELOPMENT) (10 marks)

In the examination you should do your A2 sheet of preliminary work first. This is a
development sheet where you should explore ideas that are in your preparatory sheet whilst
considering aspects of 2D or 3D design as appropriate to your chosen question. This sheet
should include evidence of significant further development of these ideas. The work
presented on your preliminary sheet should not be a direct copy from your preparatory
sheet. You may use annotated sketches to illustrate your developing ideas with particular
reference to the visual, functional and material considerations relevant to your chosen
question. In addition to your sketches of your developing ideas, you should show your final
design proposal which you will then make. You must work directly on to your A2 sheet
using sketches only, in colour if desired. Work on one side of your A2 sheet only.

Step 3: Finished Craftwork (90 marks)

Your piece of craftwork is made during the examination. You should refer to S11/15
for instructions specific to each question.
At the end of the examination you will be provided with a transparent craft envelope into which
you must put:
 your A2 Preparatory Sheet
 your A2 Preliminary Sheet
 other item/s (if specified in the question you have answered)
 your finished craftwork, if it is two-dimensional.
If your craftwork is three-dimensional it should be placed on top of your sealed craft envelope with the appropriate label attached.

The full title of your chosen topic must appear on your finished work. Personalised handconstructed and rendered lettering is preferred and should reflect the topic. You may use an alphabet stencil which you have cut but the layout and spacing of the lettering must be done during the examination. Stencils, where used, must be submitted.

Materials: ruler, t-square, papers for collage, card, textured materials, brushes, adhesive, inks, paints, any other quick drying medium, etc.
The shape and type of advertising card you use can be of your own choice, but it must not exceed A2 in its greatest dimension. If you wish to work on a sheet other than that supplied, the superintendent must sign this sheet before the examination commences confirming that it is blank.
