Common written questions

• Flat packed -Easier/cheaper to post/transport, Takes up less space, Not so easily damaged as if it were assembled ,Saves manufacturer time

• Embossing - Knowledge of embossing being a raised surface, Some attempt to show the process ie the card coming in and being squeezed

• Perforation – partially cut line to make it easier to tear apart

• Die cutting• Smart materials – thermochromic inks change with

temperature, photochromic inks change with light

Desk Top Publishing

• (c) (i) Box tool chosen (from quick shapes) • Position corner and drag diagonally to required size • Accept straight line tool and explanation of four lines being drawn • Circle tool chosen (from quick shapes) • Centre located and drag cursor to get correct size (1) • (1) • (1) • (1) [4] • (ii) Pointer tool chosen and moved over Eye logo • Click cursor and drag or move logo (to required position) (1) • (1) [2] • (iii) Text tool chosen • Type text and move to correct position

• Do not have to wait for glue to dry • Not as messy as glue • No extra materials required • Takes up less space • Costs less to send • Less likely to be damaged • Cheaper for manufacturer to produce • Easier to assemble • Easier to transport • Less work for manufacturer

• Same design of tray or label can be used for other purposes

• Can be cheaper to produce • Can be more environmentally friendly • Can be easier to recycle • Lower cost as one box and range of labels • Labels cheaper/easier to print than boxes (1) • Easier to personalise

PROPERTIES OF FOAMBOARD

• Lightweight material • Smooth surface • Easy to print on • Rigid • Disadvantages of foamboard = difficult to cut,

bend, join, recycle• THREE LAYERS – A LAYER OF FOAM

SANDWHICHED BETWEEN TWO LAYERS OF CARDBOARD

• (b) 2 answers from: Can reduce waste/save material, experiment with or modify positions of net, saves labour costs/time, can tessellate nets

• Not just easier/quicker or cheaper 2 x (1) [2]

• (c) Stages in process: • 1. Access the picture ie

download the picture to the PC or print the photo (1)

• 2. Modify image to size and/or shape required (on PC or manually cut to shape) (1)

• 3. Paste onto Net

• (a) Knowledge of proportions of A2/A5 paper (could be sketches or notes) (1)

• Suitable arrangement (2 rows of 4 sheets). (1)

[2] • (b) Correct number of A5

leaflets – 8 leaflets. (1)[1]

• (c) 500 microns too thick for a flyer (1) [1]

• (d) Suitable weight of paper ie 80-120

• Always write DIGITAL camera

• Use SKETHCES and NOTES

• Easier to bend • No need for shiny finish on back of card/can be

applied to one side • Cheaper process/materials than laminating (not

just ‘cheaper’)

• Advantage of lamination = makes bookmark more durable/ stronger easier to clean gives it a gloss finish/glossy, waterproof

• Advantages of sticky back/self adhesive vinyl = able to be printed on, able to be stuck on different surfaces, waterproof, self coloured, easy to cut, Easy to stick on, Gives good finish, Flexible

• Recycled card/paper – reference to hygiene• Corrugated card – advantages = lightweight, durable,

can be recycled, rigid, relatively inexpensive. Disadvantages = uneven surface for printing on, corners can be damaged, difficult to cut and bend

• Inkjet printer = colour, small amounts / individual

• Screen printing = colour, used on T-shirts

• Lithography = colour, large numbers

Never write

• Easy

• Quick

• Cheap

• Strong

CAD

• Do not have to redraw design each time • Changes can be made to design • Design can be resized easily • Different colours can be tried • Design can be sent electronically • Easy to move design around to try different

layouts • Designs are not easily lost or damaged
