Graphic items

• environmental impacts of printing

• purpose of 2D and pictorial sketches

You will be assessed on knowledge relating to environmental impacts of graphic communication, and knowledge on how graphic items are used in a range of contexts across

the 3P’s (preliminary, production and promotion). You should be able to recognise these types of questions in past papers.

Exam techniques are important in this area, as you may be asked to either describe or explain graphic techniques. We have included more information on exam techniques on the Home page.

SQA says practise these questions from past papers:

2018: question 2 (b)

2016: questions 1 (g) and 2 (a)
