Scope of this paper
This paper practises analysis and concept development only. It does not replace the selected public practical paper or the 50% SBA portfolio.
Candidate instructions
- Answer all parts using the original stimulus.
- Sketches should communicate development, not decoration.
- Visual evidence must be described precisely: element, relationship and effect.
Part A — Visual analysis
12 marksUntitled studio brief image, AceDSE original vector, 2026.

[6 marks]
1(b)
How do colour and repeated circular forms support or complicate the title Borrowed Air?
[6 marks]
Part B — Context and interpretation
8 marks2

[8 marks]
Part C — Design development
10 marks3
Adapt the poster concept for a campaign about access to cool public space during extreme heat. Produce three thumbnail compositions, select one, then develop it with annotations for audience, message, typography, colour, format and accessibility. Include one rejected decision and why it was rejected.
