Marking rubric
Criteria Guideline: Considerations when awarding points
Learning outcome # 1: Ability to visually communicate with clarity
This will be evident in:
1 Legibility of panels Are the boards able to speak for themselves?
Can others identify the design concept and intention without
asking questions?
Are they easy to read, or is it a struggle to comprehend what
is going on?
2 Legibility of drawings/images Are the drawings labelled?
How are the drawings sequenced? Are they arranged in a
manner that tells a story?

2. 2
Has the student used appropriate labelling/legends,
lineweights, linetypes, etc to enhance the reading of his
drawings?
Learning outcome #2: Working smart
This will be evident in:
1 Process of material selection (this is
to be graded in consideration with in-
class consultations)
How has the student considered what
drawings/images/models to produce?
Does the student demonstrate an understanding of the
variety of media he can use vs. what he is strong or
comfortable in producing?
Has he considered what he needs to illustrate his design
process and final product?
2 Delivering on time Has the student met the set deadline?
How has he/she strategised and optimised their working
time?
Having failed to meet the deadline, has the student
considered actions he needs to take to do so? Has he re-
strategised?
Learning outcome #3: Creating a cohesive and captivating package (bonus section)
This will be evident in:
1 Visual strength & composition How has the student chosen to present his visual material?
Has he given considerable thought to the overall
composition and aesthetic of the panels?
And does it work to his benefit?
2 Style & language Has the student created an IDENTITY for his design and
boards?
How has he used other elements such as text, labelling, etc.
to further enhance this identity?
Does it help to sell his design?
