Capture, in collage form (either digital or physical), your favourite video games and systems/consoles to play them on.

Piskel is a free online editor for animated sprites and pixel art. You can create animations in your browser, rework existing example sprites and create your own new sprites. Experiment with this to see if you can create five new characters for a fictional 2D game called ‘The Battle’.

Write 250 words to explain your characters and your design choices.

"I am delighted with my results and am really looking forward to studying Law at Oxford University. I really enjoyed my time at HSDC Alton and I really appreciate all the help and support from my fantastic teachers, without whom I wouldn't have got my place at Oxford."

Catherine Goldie, HSDC Alton A Level Student

I’m very, very happy, I didn’t expect to do so well. The College has been helpful and supportive. I loved my courses, and the teachers were really good – every single one of them. The facilities are great, but it’s the staff that really make this place.

“HSDC provided me with the opportunity for autonomous study and the choice of subjects that I wanted to study, which helped me develop relevant knowledge as well as relevant skills for the workplace.”
