That Blue Square Thing

Creative iMedia

This page is part of an archive of the old iMedia spec – the one that existed until Summer 2023. People seem to find the resources helpful and I've had a number of requests to put them back online. I should think they'll stay here until I'm confident that the new spec is properly covered. Please be aware that this is out of date material and may not apply in the same way to the new iMedia syllabus.

Exam Preparation - Answers

Markschemes for the exam questions are included below. These allow you to check your answers.

Note that markschemes will usually accept sensible answers which actually answer the question, so points that might get marks may not be on the specific markscheme.

In iMedia, the context of the question is incredibly important. This means that the product you are being asked about - for example, a visualisation diagram for a full page magazine advert is crucial. If you ignore the context and simply write down a list of four things that might be on any old visualisation diagram then you might not get any of the marks.
