Year 10 GCSE Graphic Products Initial Ideas
I have spoken to the students about their projects - REALLY important to decide what they WANT to do and that it offers enough rigour to be a viable choice. I have given them some ideas which I feel are suitable. There are specific sections in the marking scheme which suggest a linear approach and which is helpful as a guide for students. The syllabus or specification we are using is AQA GCSE Graphic Products and the site can be reached via my BGS site at www.beverleygrammarschool.co.uk - scroll down to Mr.Geekie's help link.
Our first aim is to create a template for our design pages. Using MS Publisher select print set up and specify A3 size and landscape orientation. Save to student login in a new folder called GCSE Graphics. Next step is to design a logo. A nice freehand A3 page is required which shows how your idea progresses. On this sheet notes should be added. Indicate your final logo design and the following lesson, when you have your allocated computer lesson, the design you came up with in rough needs to be reproduced using MS Paint. Then open your template and add the logo to the botoom right hand side corner. We now have a page which can be used in the future either by printing off and working freehand or by using the template and saving pages direct to our login graphics folder for printing out on our A3 laser printer - copies approx 6p each. Over the course students will need about 30 pages which comes to £1.80.
Ideas put to students include
SHOP FRONT DESIGN
CAR NET DESIGN
CAR EXHIBITION STAND DESIGN
MAGAZINE WITH FREE GIFT DESIGN ( LOTS OF POTENTIAL HERE )
MOBILE PHONE DESIGN TO INCLUDE PACKAGEING
RESTAURANT DESIGN
POP UP BOOK
BOARDGAME DESIGN

Last last last week for finishing folio / practical
Great to see Hayden stay back and get on with his practical fine tuning. Disappointing to see some students not using their time effectively - especially with the computers. The exam will be featuring CD packageing and, as such students must appreciate various aspects as outlined on the handout from AQA. Our understanding of materials used for making CD cases / pouches is obvious. Check out a google search for " cd jewel case material" - there are some good links which explain materials used.
