A-level Graphic Products/Edexcel
Reference material by Wikibooks contributors. This retains its source identity and is not 411 news reporting.
This is a book about A-Level Graphic Products. It aims to fit in with the Edexcel GCE A-Level Product Design syllabus but is not endorsed by Edexcel. It should be useful as a revision guide or to find alternative explanations to the ones in your textbook. If you haven't heard of an A-Level then this book probably won't be of much interest to you but you can find out about them at Wikipedia.
Please note that the last opportunity for the sitting of the GCE EDEXCEL GRAPHIC PRODUCTS qualfication (9GR01,9RM01,8GR01 & 8RM01) is JUNE 2017 for AS candidates and JUNE 2018 for A2 candidates.
After this, EDEXCEL is replacing the qualification with the new 2017 - 9DT0 course.
This textbook has been designed specifically for the older qualification.
If any part of this book is unclear or even wrong then please post a comment on the discussion page or simply fix it yourself! In particular, please say if the book assumes any knowledge or skills which not all A-Level Product Design students have.
