Then through stages they have to draw and explain the processes involved.<br /> <br /> This mock-up is designed to practice the quick sketches needed, alongside detailed annotation.<br /> <br /> All products made up totally on the spot based on simple projects we do with our younger year groups. (This example is a DVD rack)
