YEAR 11 ICT SAS
UNIT:
Computer Graphics and Hardware
UNIT OVERVIEW
The focus of this unit is to equip students with the tools and techniques to manipulate
and create graphics especially for use within a web development context. Students will
be able to use graphic design principals such as CARP to create industry standard
designs (for example moodboards, webpage banners and logos). Images produced in
this unit will be used as content in the ‘How to build a personal computer web-site’
unit next term. Computer hardware and how to build a personal computer will be
explored as part of the content knowledge.
ASSESSMENT:
An individual e-folio project completed over 4 weeks assessing the three dimensions of:
Knowing and understanding, Analysing and applying, and Producing and evaluating.
The e-folio will be a body of work that can be used as image content in a ‘Guide to
building a computer’ website the student will develop next term.
