Model Answer:
- Digital Technology
- Advantages: rapid iteration, undo/redo functions, easy colour manipulation, scalable vector output, seamless integration with presentation software.
- Limitations: reliance on hardware/software, possible loss of tactile feedback, learning curve for complex programs.
- Most appropriate when: developing multiple variations quickly, preparing work for print or web production, or when precise measurements and layers are required.
- Traditional Media
- Advantages: direct physical interaction, unique textures, spontaneity, no need for power or devices.
- Limitations: limited ability to edit, time‑consuming revisions, materials may be costly or messy.
- Most appropriate when: exploring hand‑drawn concepts, emphasizing texture and materiality, or when the brief calls for a handcrafted aesthetic.
In practice, many IGCSE projects combine both: initial ideas sketched traditionally to capture gesture, then refined digitally for final presentation.
