For M1, learners should analyse the standards of working conditions that might reasonably be expected of a professional manufacturer or service provider in two selected organisations. Analysis in this context could relate to a ‘walk-through’ of the environment, identifying obvious issues such as safety guards on machinery, trailing leads, sharp edges, hazardous substances and functioning emergency exits.

For P2 and P4, learners should gather evidence that covers the different types of graphic image and the file extensions appropriate to the type of graphic. The evidence should include some reference to the tools utilised within the software and the reasons behind their choice. The different file formats should be identified and their relevance explained, with reference to the document to be produced and the size of file and clarity of image each produces.

To achieve a pass grade, learners must achieve the six pass criteria listed on the grading grid. For P1, learners must clearly identify the hardware and software required which will enable a system to be used to generate and manipulate graphics and graphical documents. The evidence for this should be more than a mere list of elements.

Draw up a plan for the launch of a website for a specified organisation

Draw up plans to assess the design of a website aimed at meeting a specified purpose

Plan and design a website for a specific organisation meeting specified purposes for a defined target group

For P3, the user requirements should be specified and a completed multi-page document produced. This can form the basis of M2 as long as learners produce draft and edited copies of the document, clearly identifying the changes and reasons for the change. The user needs must be identified and referred to throughout the document. The completed document must include text and graphics and identify any constraints placed on the completed work by the client.

To achieve a merit grade, learners must achieve all of the pass grade criteria and the three merit grade criteria. For M1, learners could explain the limitations of the hardware and software used in the creation and manipulation of their chosen graphics.

Appropriate evidence for M3 could include examples of outputs together with supporting explanations and detail about the images.

To achieve a merit grade, learners must achieve all of the pass grade criteria and the three merit grade criteria. For M1, learners could explain the limitations of the hardware and software used in the creation and manipulation of their chosen graphics. Evidence for M2 could be, for example, an observation record together with some printed output
