Understands and uses proportion with precision

Pays some attention to proportion but the drawing lacks some accuracy

Has attempted to show proportion in their drawing

Lacks any understanding of proportion

Lettering is drawn with accuracy

Lettering is drawn confidently

Lettering has been carefully drawn but lacks some accuracy

Lettering has been drawn without any attempt towards accuracy

Skilfully and confidently uses shading or colour to include reflective surfaces in order to create a three-dimensional effect

A good understanding of different tones but the technique does not enhance the reflective surfaces of the packaging

Some understanding of how to use shading but only a limited range of tones have been used and the drawing lacks some detail

Shading or colour lacks depth, dimension and accuracy and the drawing is poorly presented
