Example 1 Example 2 Example 3

For 1 mark, a student may have needed guidance, but must have used bitmap tools to develop some elements, demonstrating limited awareness of audience and purpose. For 3 marks, a student must have used bitmap tools to develop some elements that meet most of the requirements and demonstrate some awareness of audience and purpose. For 5 marks, a student must have used bitmap tools to develop elements that meet most of the requirements and demonstrate good awareness of audience and purpose. For 7 marks, a student must have used bitmap tools to develop a collection of elements that meets the requirements and demonstrates sound awareness of audience, purpose and medium. For 9 marks, a student must have developed a collection of effective elements that meets the requirements and demonstrates astute awareness of audience,purpose and medium.
