D1: learners will be able to analyse in depth the characteristics of digital graphics technologies through examples which illustrate clearly the breadth of technologies used in digital graphics. They will draw out of each example precisely what it is about it that exemplifies the point it illustrates. Learners will be able to fully explain technical issues such as resolution, colour space and optimisation, and they will justify points made using supporting arguments or evidence. Technical vocabulary will be secure and used correctly and confidently at all times. The fuller and more extensive explanation, provision of supporting argument to support points made, and the higher quality expression will all discriminate between this grade and the merit. Demonstration in a practical context will be to a very high technical standard and learners will give detailed explanations of how the techniques have been applied, exemplifying these explanations with fully elucidated instances of where they have done so in their work.
