      2. Prevents the oil from destroying the fabric fibres,
      3. Reduces absorbency of the support
         2x1=2 marks
   5. Two roles of photographic illustrations in graphic design;
      • They capture an emotional component/ attention of the consumer.
      • Important part of branding.
      • Can easily be manipulated to communicate an idea.
      • Improves aesthetics and makes the work stand out.
        Any 2 x 1=2 marks
   6. Significance of mixing clay during its peparation;

   • Place the t-shirt on sheet of newspaper/ polythene, which will help absorb excess dye during the dyeing process.
   • Prepare dye, pour in a bottle, squeeze bottle or sprinkle to wet/soak/drench surface of the t-shirt. When one side is completely covered, flip the t-shirt over genty and cover the other side with the remaining dye.
   • Leave the t-shirt to dry, without unbinding the rubber bands, let it stand for a while before unraveling/untying, 
     Wash the dried t-shirt. Untie the t-shirt and rinse until water is clear ensure all the excess dye has been removed. Leave it to dry,
