DCG Student Assignment
(with 2023 changes)

This is my walkthrough series for the Design and Communication Graphics Student Assignment. Not all of the information that I give is in the official SEC marking scheme but I have found through experience that if you follow my plan your Student Assignment can get top marks in your Leaving Certificate. No student gets a H1 without hard work but having the right advice will give you a huge advantage! Best of luck.
