Year 10 student

At IGCSE level you will be expected to communicate and present your design intent to a higher, more advanced level. To do this you will use a range of different methods and techniques including: blue pencil sketching, weight of line, thick & thin lines, markers, Procreate app, modelling, CAD, 3D printing, manufacture skills, etc.

You will need some basic equipment to help present your design work and so you need to get yourself, as a minimum, the following items: mechanical pencil (0.7mm or 0.9mm); black fine line pens (various widths but start with 0.3mm & 0.8mm); a black Papermate flair (recommended) or Sharpie; a soft black coloured pencil; an eraser; A4 plain white paper; A3 marker paper; 3 markers (they do not have to be Copic, although Copic are the best!) including either Warm or Cool Grey 3, Warm or Cool Grey 4 or 5; a colour of your choice (but not too dark!!); some coloured pencils will also be useful.
