Exam-ready principles
- •Communication objective: Translate the client brief into one primary audience action before selecting visual devices.
- •Visual hierarchy: Use scale, contrast, position and spacing to make the intended reading order immediately apparent.
- •Institutional identity: Apply approved logos, colours, typography and exclusion zones consistently rather than improvising variants.
- •Typography: Select type sizes, line lengths and spacing that preserve legibility across the intended output conditions.
- •Grid system: Use a repeatable alignment structure to create coherence while allowing controlled emphasis.
- •Image selection: Choose imagery that is relevant, rights-cleared, representative and compatible with institutional tone.
- •Concept rationale: Explain a design choice by connecting it to audience, message, channel and communication objective.
- •Brand adaptation: Adapt layout to the channel without weakening required identity elements or message hierarchy.
- •Design consistency: Reuse components and rules so related products are recognisable as one communication family.
- •Preflight review: Check content, identity, dimensions, colour mode, fonts, links and export settings before release.
Application
Annex II expects assistants to take work from concept to completion and to apply institutional visual identity. Strong answers connect creative choices to a verified brief and a repeatable system.
