       Simple drawings displaying a low standard or limited range of techniques 0 - 2
       Clear drawings displaying a good standard and a range of techniques –
       shading / colour / annotation etc.                                       3-4
       High quality drawings using a wide range of techniques with clear

         Suitability
         Simplicity designs showing outlines only                                   0-2
         Rather more detail, sensible solutions that could work                     3-4
