Couldn't find a thread, thought i'd start one. Anyone doing the product design question for section 2?

Is anyone aware of the percentage differences between the writing and folios?

Thanks.

73 % (160 marks) for the folios, 27 % (60 marks) for the written exam.

so, the final expressive and the finished product so called 'solutions, are both worth 40 marks, yes?

No. Each folio is 80 marks. Expressive; investigation 20, development 20 and final outcome 40. Design; research and investigation 24, development 24, design solution 24 and evaluation 8.

Butterflies for design, and I made a handbag, and still life for expressive. I was going to do a portrait, but I kind of ran out of time... :O
what about you?

anyone do design? I made a dress based on the sixties. I printed loads of stencils of the beatles' faces on to it. It was so much fun haha! I find it super difficult to write about fashion/textiles on the paper though.

that's actually so cool : ) I made a bag inspired by butterflies. it's hard to describe, but it's actually quite nice : )

Sounds good and was just curious. I'm at uni now, but done a poster advertising the cairngorms national park and an expressive folio on a stretch of Scotland's coast. Kinda miss having the time for art, though!

oh, cool : ) I hate Higher, tbh :L I enjoyed the design unit, not the expressive one. : | so yeah, I think I need to do extremely well in the written exam to get a good grade.

I had to spend all my free periods, lunchtimes and so on in art, to get everything finished, and be up to speed with everything. a week before the deadline, I stayed there for 4-5 hours after school, everyday. and on the day before the deadline, 12 hours. so yeah, I didn't enjoy that.

I'm doing Vertigo by Saul Bass as a design to discuss, although I saw that last year, that appeared in the paper.

Will that affect anything?

Thanks.

Same, and 2 days just before the deadline my school lost my final solution for the design unit, so I have to do it again, so annoyed!
