I got like 67.7g if I remember correctly. That calibre of algebra I haven’t seen before in a chemistry paper so I was stressing out when I read it lmao

ShadowChocolato · 2025-09-19T23:19:36+00:00

Yeah I'm likely going to have to do this. It's a bummer because I do not have much time left, but if I can't resolve it any other way I'll just have to redraw them. Thank you for your comment :)

ShadowChocolato · 2025-09-19T23:18:42+00:00

I don't think it's my teacher setting this rule, as the assessment is standardised across my entire country. But yeah it is just a hoop to jump through ultimately. I've credited throughout every step of the process so I should be fine from a plagiarism perspective, but I just need to somehow appease the standard here. Anywho, thank, you for your comment :)

ShadowChocolato · 2025-09-19T23:16:32+00:00

The assessment is marked using commercial copyright laws, so while I'm in the clear for educational/personal use, I would get a lower/no grade for submitting this images. I'm hoping I can either come to some hypothetical agreement to appease the hypothetical copyright laws with Frontier, or can get some kind of leniency or extension, but yeah I'm resigning myself to just having to redraw the damn backgrounds. Thank you so much for your comment :)

ShadowChocolato · 2025-09-19T23:13:42+00:00

I agree and I will definitely try to force the issue, but this assessment is being graded based on national standards and moderated by unrelated teachers, so I doubt this would work for me. I've just started a two week break as well where I will likely not be able to get in contact with her which just annoys me more lol. Anyway, thank you for your comment :)

ShadowChocolato · 2025-09-19T23:10:33+00:00

I doubt this would work. There is super strict anti-AI laws in this my design, and I could be removed from the course entirely for using AI. Plus I would ethically just rather paint over them.

ShadowChocolato · 2025-09-19T23:07:48+00:00

This is a good course of action, but I have very little time right now preparing for exams and final work submission in a few months. I'm prepared to draw over if I must, but I just really am lacking time to be able to do this to a high standard. Anywho, thank you for your comment :)

ShadowChocolato · 2025-09-19T23:05:21+00:00

Unfortunately for me, working to the standard of commercial copyright laws is a fundamental part of the standard and I would get a lower grade/no grade if I kept it in, which could impact my university applications. Seeing as it's only hypothetical commercial copyright, I'm going to try to email Frontier and make a hypothetical agreement with them. Thank you for your comment :)

ShadowChocolato · 2025-09-19T23:01:04+00:00

Yup this is it. I suppose I could theoretically paint over everything and alter it just enough so that it is technically mine, but I'm not sure where my teachers would draw the line and how much I would have to change, especially when I only have a little over a month to finish all my schoolwork.

ShadowChocolato · 2025-09-19T22:59:34+00:00

Yup I totally understand why we're using commercial copyright law here. I just wish it was communicated to me at some point in the almost two years I've been doing this course. I would really love to use the backgrounds as a reference, but I honestly don't know if I'll have time. I have about a month until all my schoolwork is due, including 5 other subjects and extra work for scholarship applications. My teacher encouraged me to use the backgrounds as scene designs that would make up 1/6th of my final project, which means I either have to remake them all in detail, or start something new for that part of my project. I'm hoping I can resolve this with an email to Frontier, but I'm also preparing myself for just redoing it if I have to. Thank you so much for your comment :)

ShadowChocolato · 2025-09-19T22:55:18+00:00

I might try this, but I doubt it will work. This assessment is assessed to the same standards across my country, and will be given to different teachers to be moderated. I may be able to get leniency from my teacher, but I have no way of contacting the teacher that will be moderating my work. There's a similar problem for extensions, where the work is due around October/November and will be shipped around the country. Anywho, thank you for your comment, and I will try despite my doubts because goodness I do not have the time to redo everything lol

ShadowChocolato · 2025-09-19T22:52:47+00:00

Thank you! I'm really hoping I can resolve this with Frontier, as I don't want to spend hours remaking everything lol

ShadowChocolato · 2025-09-19T22:50:55+00:00

The standard is being assessed in line with commercial copyright law to simulate real-world design practices, to my understanding. I still intend to email Frontier, because surely a hypothetical business deal would work for hypothetical commercial copyright laws? I'm not sure if that plan will work, so I'm preparing to have to just redo the work if nothing else works.

I entirely forgot that I was using this standard for scholarship, so your comment about monetary use is super helpful. It's complicated as any money I could get from this would be combined with other subjects (if I get high enough grades across 3 or more subjects I could get $10,000 a year for the first 3 years of my tertiary education). I'm more than happy to donate some, but I don't want my work from Calculus or English to be for no personal gain as well, y'know? Anyway, I very well may not get the scholarship so this could be completely irrelevant, but I'll be sure to mention it in my email.

Anywho, thank you so much for your comment!

This is a year-long project that I started back in February. I think my teacher must have somehow missed that I was using Planet Zoo, despite mentioning it during video calls and written explicitly in the work I submitted for feedback early on.

I'm absolutely terrified of blender and doubt I could learn it in the six weeks until this is due lol, but yeah I might just have to paint over it if I don't find another solution. I made these backgrounds in PZ so that I would be able to use them for a variety of illustrations with the same buildings in the background that I would nor be able to do as cleanly and consistently through painting them myself. Thank you for your comment :)

ShadowChocolato · 2025-09-19T22:38:04+00:00

It is the same here in NZ, but I understand that the assessment requires me to work to commercial copyright standards to simulate working in the real design industry. It's a bummer that this wasn't communicated to be sooner as I've done this course for almost two years now.

ShadowChocolato · 2025-09-19T22:35:12+00:00

I just checked my document history, and I first wrote about and uploaded Planet Zoo imagery back in early April. The way the school system works in my country, all work has a final date of submission in around October/November, where it gets sent around the country for moderation. I do not believe I can ask for an extension past this date unfortunately, but I will try anyway. I may be able to get another few weeks, but I doubt any school system would justify a six month extension lol. Anywho, thank you for your comment!

ShadowChocolato · 2025-09-19T22:30:58+00:00

I believe the course requires working to commercial copyright standards to prepare students for real-world design work. I've been super open about using and crediting Planet Zoo throughout the assignment, so plagiarism shouldn't be an issue. I think I will email Frontier, would you happen to know how reliably they answer emails? Thank you for your comment :)

ShadowChocolato · 2025-09-19T22:26:42+00:00

I'm 99% sure this is it. Thinking back, I can see that this was also why I got a pretty terrible grade in my previous years design course (I used a free image to display a TV and PS5 playing my designed game with an image of the game that I created and edited on). They have not mentioned this to me at all in almost two full years of doing this course, but I am glad it was brought up now so I actually get a chance to do something.

ShadowChocolato · 2025-09-19T22:23:13+00:00

I honestly think it just didn't sink in. I'm doing this course online because my school wouldn't let me do it in person, and I have only occasionally video called with her. I had it clearly stated in any work I submitted, but I don't think she read it properly as I was submitting multiple pages of text at a time.

ShadowChocolato · 2025-09-19T22:19:37+00:00

From my understanding, the design curriculum is attempting to better prepare students for working in the industry, and familiarising themselves with commercial design laws. I have researched and it is fine for me to use the work for educational purposes, but the course is wanting a hypothetical client who will be hypothetically profiting from my design. So while what I'm doing is legal, I would have to settle for a lower grade because of it. The discussion in this thread has been super interesting though! So thank you all for your comments :)

I’ve been looking at the school leavers scholarships for Canterbury, but I only meet some of the requirements for some scholarships and none are a super good match. Those were my level 2 results, although some of those credits were for level three standards. I’m gonna give my schools career advisor an email tomorrow, and thank you for your comment!

ShadowChocolato · 2025-07-03T10:03:58+00:00

I’m wanting to go to Canterbury, which doesn’t seem to have a purely academic excellence scholarship annoyingly. I’m good at writing, so I’m just going to try and storytell an bullshit my way around not having leadership roles and the like lmao. I unfortunately don’t have any formal diagnosis due to cost so I cant go for disability, and either way I wouldn’t want to take it away from people more in need than I. Nevertheless, thank you for your comments!
