isometric drawings;
third angle orthographic
2D elevations of 3D products.
British Standards symbols and conventions;
Produce scale drawings using correct conventions.
Surface development (net)
3D containers from sheet material;
Analyse how simple boxes are assembled.

Demonstrate a knowledge of CAD/CAM to produce surface developments;
Information drawings represent data in graphical form i.e. 2D and 3D bar and pie charts, line graphs and pictographs;
Results of surveys and questionnaires.
Use CAD packages.

Study one off, batch and mass production.
just in time;
IInvestigate packaging, newspapers, posters. understand how and why quality checks are made in production;
Recognising colour registration marks,
position marks, use template (in DTP).
demonstrate an understanding of commercial printing methods i.e. letterpress, lithography,
effects used in printing, varnishing (oil, UV, spirit and
water), laminating, embossing and foil application;
know how nets + developments are produced by the use of die cutters and creasing
bars; Understand how CAD/CAM is used in the production of a graphic product;
Use CAD/CAM in single item, batch or volume production.
Use printing, vinyl cutting or CNC techniques to demonstrate the principles involved.
Investigate the data contained in a bar code and its use in marketing.
Experience patterns, jigs, moulds, formers and templates. understand the function and need for packaging: protection, need in transportation, storage, security, display, give consumer information;
Demonstrate the reduction of waste and show economical use of materials; Plan multiple cut-outs from a given quantity of materials (tessellations). know the units by which the thickness of paper, card and board are measured; Compare the weight of paper and its use.
Use vacuum forming to create packages. understand the physical properties of sheet and block modelling materials i.e. corrugated plastic sheet, foam core board, card, block form, hard wax.
Enhancement use pencils, pens and colour to add visual impact to designs and accentuate shape and form i.e. thick/think line highlighting; Add realism to drawings and sketches. use textural representation to convey different materials and surfaces , i.e. woods, metals, plastics and glass;
Experience colour mixing e.g. paints, CAD software. Presentation mount drawings; Pictorial drawings use photographs; produce two point perspective sketches; Use photography from any source either self-generated or found, digital or film, to record research, sizes of design and users etc. Use perspective grids. produce isometric drawings; Use isometric grid paper and instruments to produce drawings. Working drawings use third angle orthographic projection; use British Standards symbols and conventions; Apply the correct dimensions, scales and symbols to drawings. Surface development (nets) make boxes based on rectangular and cubic forms
Flowcharts with feedback loops; produce sequential illustrations;
different attitudes, beliefs and values of different groups, e.g. religious, gender, handicapped etc. consider moral and cultural implications of graphic products; issues involved with exploitation of natural resources and the effects on indigenous peoples. Consider cultural and religious preferences e.g. imagery, colour. Investigate printing and lettering.

Sunday 5th April FINAL Marking progress and pointers

BenS
As previous blog mentioned you have produced a good effort but I need your specification. Try to do it over Easter. Remember it is simply a list of your outcomes and should include details of sizes, materials used in the real world to make them, colour, etc.

SamH - your folio is basically empty. I am sure I saw some pages once - where are they?
It is a shame because your model outcome is good. If you want a reasonable grade get some completed sheets to me via the school office on Monday 20th.

PaulTh - folio excellent and complete.

TomEv - Your folio is excellent in parts but is missing the Prodesktop pages and the flow diagram so as things stand you are throwing away a full grade I would suggest. Perhaps you could try and get these pages to me first week back?

DannyHu - Please have a real try at getting me those missing pages - you are going to struggle to get a C at present - yet you can easily get to B with some little more work - you know what is needed but if you have any doubts please contact me.

Note for BS, JJDC and JPT

BS

Hello, your grade overall could be improved a lot by completing a specification. I cannot see one in your folder.
It needs to list all your outcomes, it also needs to be SPECIFIC - remember to add notes about each outcome which describe material, colour, SIZE.
Looking at a B at present.
Can get to an A with specification completed.

JJDC
Before I can mark I need to reorder your folio .. aaarrrghhh.
Okay straight away your QC and QA needs work - far too simple as it is.
Will post when I have marked in detail.
Just been through it ( the folio ) looks C+ or possibly B- depending on some simple changes / additions. See me later.

JPT
Put in the 3 pages - should be an A - well done.
