Poster Practice Paper: Answer Sheet

Model answers, working and marking points for the Poster Practice Paper.

How to Use This Answer Sheet

Try the practice paper first, then compare. For calculations, check each step, not just the final answer. For written answers, the model answers show the points a marker looks for — your wording can be different, and other sensible choices with good reasons also earn marks.

Worked example

One model answer

Role Colour Hex Background Deep maroon #6B1F2A Accent (banners) Saffron orange #E08A1E Text on dark Cream #FFF4E0 Details Dark brown #3A2618 These are warm colours that suggest natural dyes, clay and wood — they feel traditional and handmade . Maroon, orange and brown are close together on the colour wheel (analogous), so they look harmonious, while cream gives strong contrast for readable text.
