It specifies the software to use (Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, and Wix), file formats, and skills that must be demonstrated for each project, such as drawing, transforming, coloring images, and applying effects. Students must use their own original work and properly source any online resources. The poster and leaflet require inclusion of graphics, photos, and text while demonstrating specific software techniques. The webpage must contain multimedia elements like graphics, audio, video, and animation across various content sections.
