Pre-entry exercises for Bachelor of Computer Graphic Design (to be sent in as part of your application)

General Instructions
These pre-entry exercises are designed to test your abilities across a range of problems which have relevance to visual communication. Please read all instructions carefully before beginning each problem. The final solutions must fit into a A3 mailbag. Be sure that you print your full name, in small letters, clearly on the back, at the lower right hand corner of each completed exercise.

Exercise 1
Working with an A3 sheet of cartridge paper, create a three dimensional construction which can be returned back to a flat sheet for mailing. You may use a dull knife for scoring the paper and/or a sharp knife to cut entirely through it. You may not remove pieces or add more paper. On one side of the sheet, provide instructions which will enable us to set up your 3D construction. Include a photograph of the construction.

Exercise 2
Working directly on an A3 sheet of cartridge paper, using a fine line drawing medium, draw up an accurate square of 200mm x 200mm. Divide the square into 100 smaller squares 20mm x 20mm. Fill each and every square of the grid you have created with a colour swatch made from coloured paper, or paper that has been painted or printed with colour. The objective is to create an interesting abstract composition. Please include any sketches that show your process.

Exercise 3
Complete a 500 to 600 word, typed statement outlining your life experiences and your future goals and aspirations.
