Description

In this unit pupils will design graphics using vector graphic editing software. They will apply their skills by creating an illustration, a logo, and icons. Pupils will recognise that objects and be grouped and combined to create new elements and that vector drawings are made up of paths.

Having previously been introduced to vector graphics, pupils now deepen their understanding of how to create precise, scalable digital artwork. Building on earlier work with objects, layers and grouping, this unit develops pupils’ ability to design and refine complex graphics with accuracy and control. Learning these skills prepares pupils to consider how clear and professional visuals are essential for communicating ideas effectively across any context.
