Level 2 Design and Visual Communications

The content of this programme leans heavily towards understanding and applying the design process and relies on the ability of students to solve design problems. 

The focus for Level 2 is developing a spatial design for the local environment. Students will present their evidence for assessment as a portfolio of work for the brief. This will be marked for internal assessment before being sent for external assessment. 

Students will use a wide range of visual communication techniques including sketching, rendering, instrumental drawing, and CAD (computer aided design).

External Assessment is achieved using a portfolio process and will contain best examples of work completed throughout the year. Students will choose which pieces of work will be submitted in consultation with their teacher. Please note credits for the portfolio will not be given until the end of the year. 

The final date for external submission is the end of October unless otherwise notified.
