R094 – Visual identity and digital graphics
This is a portfolio unit. It's worth 25% of the final mark for the course.
You'll be given the portfolio tasks when you're ready to do them. This should be after you've been taught about visual identity and the ways in which digital graphics are used.
The portfolio part of the unit is supposed to take 10–12 hours to complete. It is made up of two tasks.
Portfolio tasks
The portfolio for R094 is split into two tasks:
- Task 1 – client needs and planning
- Task 2 – creating the visual identity and graphic product and evidencing with screenshots
For task 2 it's really important that you evidence the creation and editing of the assets that will make up the digital graphic.
This includes the creation and export of your visual identity, and the editing you should do to the images which make up your graphic product. This means things like resizing, cropping, removing backgrounds, changing colours, and converting to 300ppi. There's a whole line of the task 2 markgrid that is to do with this. It's common for people to provide little or no evidence for this, and the overall mark suffers.
