• The implications of a wide range of issues including social, moral, environmental and sustainability, are taken into consideration and inform the development of the design proposals

• Excellent development work through experimentation with a wide variety of techniques and modelling (including CAD where appropriate) in order to produce a final design solution

• Appropriate materials selected with full regard to their working properties

Mark Scheme

• From the making section:– The outcome has the potential to be commercially

viable and is suitable for the target market – Final outcome(s) shows a high level of

making/modelling/finishing skills and accuracy

• YOU MUST DESIGN TO ACHIEVE THIS
