This requires the production of a three-panel folio of work (A1), which is submitted for external assessment at the end of the year.  The work on the Folio must demonstrate an intensive visual investigation of a well-defined campaign or brand identity.  The students have the opportunity to explore extensively digital media design outcomes such as logos, posters, magazine spreads, website design, app design, book illustrations and character design.
