In producing the project proposal, and in
preparing for the project realisation, you
should familiarise yourself with Unit 8 of
the qualification.
In particular, you should understand the
assessment and grading criteria which will be
used to determine standards of achievement.
Unit 8 requires you to produce a project
proposal of about 350 words, excluding the
project action plan and bibliography. Project
proposals should not be so succinct that they
do not address the requirements listed
below, nor should they be excessively long
and unfocused.
Your project proposal should be sufficiently
challenging to ensure you have the
best possible chance of meeting the
grading criteria.
Your project proposal should include:
- Centre name and number
- Candidate name and number
- Project proposal title and date
- Main area of activity / pathway, e.g. film,
TV, games design etc.
The project proposal must be word processed
and presented under the headings listed here:
Section 1 - Rationale
(Approximately 100 words)
This section provides you with an opportunity
to reflect on, review and summarise your
progress and achievements through the first 7
units of the qualification, and the knowledge,
skills and understanding you have acquired:
What you know now, and what it means to
you, compared with what you knew and could
do before you started the course and how
this has influenced your choice of pathway
and your project proposal.
Section 2 – Project concept
(Approximately 200 words)
This section provides an opportunity for you
to clearly explain the concept and aims of
your project, the research and ideas that will
support its development, what you anticipate
producing, the levels and types of resources
that you will need and an indication of the
form in which you will complete and
present your project realisation within
the allocated timescale.
Section 3 - Evaluation
(Approximately 50 words)
This section provides an opportunity for you
to explain how you will reflect on and evaluate
your work, as both an ongoing activity and at
the conclusion of the project.
You should describe how you intend to
record your decision-making and how you
will document changes to your ideas as the
project progresses. The evaluation section
should reference your stated aims and
be reflective and analytical rather than a
description of actions completed.
When working in collaboration with others,
you should comment on how this may impact
either positively or adversely and outline the
steps you can take to minimise disruption to
your own progress.

Additional requirements, not included in the

350 word limit of the proposal:

Project action plan and timetable:

This section provides you with an opportunity

to outline your planning and organisation
over a period of weeks and the activities you
will need to carry out in order to successfully
complete your project in the agreed time
frame. The more time and thought you give to
planning your project, the more successful it is
likely to be.

It is important that you consider how you will

balance ambition, time and realism in the
realisation of the project. You should also
include what you are going to do, how you
will do it and by when. Remember to include:
time spent sourcing materials and other
resources to conduct research, feedback from
tutors and peers, and when you will carry out
independent study.

Bibliography (Harvard Format):

This section provides an opportunity to record

the initial research sources, both primary and
secondary, that you intend to use.

Your sources of research should be as wide

as possible and could include libraries,
galleries, books, magazines, films, computer
games, websites, blogs, social media, radio
programmes, archive material etc. Where
appropriate, you should use the Harvard
system of referencing. The bibliography should
be continuously updated as the
project progresses.

Project Title
Personal Project – Car Tuning Company

Section 1: Rationale
(approx. 100 words)
The brief is asking us to create our own project. I feel pretty confident in this
project because it will allow me to get creative with my ideas as there is no
limit to what I can create.
I will need to have good idea generation for this project. I will need to be able
to come up with a few ideas and experiment with them all before creating a
final design. This way I know exactly what I want to do and how I want to do
it, instead of creating something and getting it done quickly.
I will also need to make sure that my skills using Photoshop and Illustrator
are sharp enough to create something that looks good.
I am hoping I will learn new skills using Photoshop and Illustrator. I would
like to develop my skills so that I can create any outcome and I am prepared
for any task.

Section 2: Project
Concept
My idea for this project is to create a car tuning company, which will
(approx. 200 words) specialize in creating body kits for cars and tuning the performance. I have
chosen this because it is a subject that I am interested in.
My target audience is boys age 17+ who are into cars.
I will do research on current car tuning companies to get ideas of how I will
create mine.
What practical work could I create? I could create T-shirts or any type of
apparel with my logo on. I would also like to create a digital banner
advertising the brand.
The only resources I will need for this project is Google.

Section 3: Evaluation
(approx. 50 words)
In this project, evaluating is very important. It will help me with correcting
myself and coming up with new ideas as I go along.
I will be going over and self-evaluating every week to make sure that I keep
on top of it and steer myself in the right direction.
