Explore and apply the creative design process to 2D forms

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit applies to individuals who apply the creative design process to the development of 2-dimensional forms. The unit underpins many other specialised design units.

This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to explore and creatively apply the design process to the development of 2 dimensional (2D) forms.

No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Employability Skills

This unit contains employability skills.




Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Evidence of the following is essential:

production of a range of samples or concept realisations which show the creative application of processes to 2-dimensional forms

knowledge of the design process as it applies to 2-dimensional work.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure:

access to the materials resources and equipment needed to apply design processes to 2-dimensional forms.

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:

direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate

evaluation of samples or concept realisations produced by the candidate and interrogation of the creative process used

oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of 2-dimensional design.

Guidance information for assessment

The design process does not occur in isolation. Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended.


Submission Requirements

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Required skills

communication skills to explain ideas and to have discussions about design concepts with others

literacy skills to read and interpret information about 2-dimensional design

visual literacy skills to make judgements about the application of the design process to 2-dimensional forms.

Required knowledge

copyright, moral rights, intellectual property issues and legislation, and their impact on aspects of design

creative thinking techniques that can be used as part of the design process

elements and principles of design as applied to 2-dimensional forms

materials, tools and equipment required for the design of 2-dimensional forms in the relevant work context

notion of individual interpretation and choice within the design process

particular challenges and issues in the design of 2-dimensional forms.

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Sources of information may include:

anecdotal sources, personal observation

art and design work

books and magazines

natural and manufactured forms, objects and/or structures

optics, including single and multiple vanishing points

scientific texts

web-based resources

Creative thinking techniques may include:

brainstorming:

bulletin board

buzz session

computer-aided

sequencing

stop and go

daydreaming and mental wandering

visual maps

webbing

lateral thinking games

making associations

mind mapping

morphological analysis

storytelling

sub-culture surfing

trigger words

use of metaphors and analogies

harmony

linear perspective

mark making

pattern

positive and negative shape

proportion

rhythm

shape

size

texture

tone

Concept or idea to be communicated may relate to a range of activities such as:

advertising and promotion

artistic works

exhibitions or events

fashion designs

interactive digital media products

interior designs

sign making

Materials, tools and equipment may include:

cardboard

air brushes

cutting blades

digital equipment

found materials

glue

inks and washes

markers

measuring tools

pencils

pens and nibs

range of brushes

range of papers

receptacles

relevant and current software

rulers

scissors

spatulas

sponges

spray guns

Concept realisations or samples may be:

digital output

drawn, painted, printed, collaged

photographs

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.

Observation Checklist

Tasks to be observed according to workplace/college/TAFE policy and procedures, relevant legislation and Codes of Practice Yes No Comments/feedback
Identify and access relevant sources of information on 2-dimensional design 
Evaluate and collate information to build a knowledge of 2-dimensional design 
Use creative thinking techniques to generate a range of ideas and options 
Use experimentation to explore and challenge a range of different ideas 
Challenge assumptions, reflect on ideas and refine approaches 
Consciously change perspective, and evaluate ideas and situations in new ways 
Investigate and reflect on how a particular concept or idea might be communicated in a 2-dimensional form 
Select materials, tools and equipment relevant to the realisation of the concept or idea
