Assignment Title: Design 2D and 3D digital graphics
When will the assignment be marked for Distinction according to specification:
Learners will evaluate their digital graphic images, using feedback and
comparison against the client’s requirements, to justify their design solutions in comparison to
alternative approaches. For example, different types of ‘normal maps’ could be used in the design
of a 3D graphic image by using feedback that a ‘tangent space normal map’ is best suited to
designing characters, whereas for assets that don’t need to deform, an ‘object space normal map’
could be used. Learners will evaluate the effectiveness of the graphics processing and techniques
chosen as part of their design, providing reasoned justifications for their choices and evaluating
their impact on the final outcomes.
They will develop and optimise their digital graphic products using a wide range of tools and
techniques, and will effectively meet the client’s requirements. Throughout the development
process, they will evaluate the products and decisions taken, providing reasoned justification
of the decisions taken and why changes have been made.
Overall, the evidence will be easy to read and understand by a third party. It will be logically
structured, use appropriate technical language throughout and use a high standard of written
language, i.e. consistent use of correct grammar and spelling, and consistent reference of
information sources. Learners will reflect on their own performance during the design and
development of 2D and 3D digital graphics, with evidence demonstrating their effectiveness in
individual responsibility, creativity and self-management. For example, for creativity, learners’
evidence could demonstrate that each digital graphic image will combine assets imaginatively,
demonstrating a clear understanding of design principles, audience and purpose
