Day 3
CT11 · Hook

Opening task

Conduct a silent five-second test before any designer explains the work.

Silent first

Students commit to one observation before discussion.

Brand Foundations
CT11 · Targets

Learning focus

Audience evidence, targeted revision, consistency audit, A4 adaptation, alternate-audience transfer, source logging, export specifications and rationale.

  • Explain the key idea accurately
  • Apply it in today's build or inquiry
  • Save evidence at the checkpoint

CT11 · Mechanism

How it actually works

A brand system proves itself through transfer. Some spatial decisions must change with format, while palette, type roles, tone and identity remain recognizably consistent.

CT11 · Demonstration

Demonstration · first moves

1

Collect silent audience evidence

Five-second test

Reviewer records first message, mood and focal element
2

Choose one high-value revision

Rubric plus test evidence

One hierarchy, contrast or spacing mismatch is named
3

Adapt to A4 or second audience

New document using the same system

Layout changes spatially while palette, type roles and mark remain consistent

Guided work · next moves

4

Audit system consistency

Style tile beside both deliverables

Colours, type roles, imagery treatment and mark match deliberately
5

Complete source and accessibility checks

Source log, contrast and text-safe audit

Every image is attributed and essential text remains legible
6

Export both formats

Export As

1080 sRGB PNG and print-ready A4 PDF/JPG open correctly

CT11 · Pathways

Support and extension

Support

Adapt only the hierarchy and spacing; keep the approved palette, type roles and mark fixed.

Extension

Reposition the brand for a second audience and defend which system elements needed to change.

CT11 · Evidence

Checkpoint and exit

Checkpoint

Style tile, square launch piece, adaptation, audience-test evidence, before/after revision, source log and rationale are complete.

Exit question

What changed between formats, what stayed consistent and why?
