CUAACD506
Refine 2-D design ideas and processes

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to extend understanding and use of two-dimensional (2-D) design ideas and processes for the production of work at a professional level.

It applies to individuals who work with a wide and potentially complex range of ideas about 2-D design.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at time of publication.

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



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.

ELEMENT

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1. Originate ideas for 2-D design

1.1 Generate ideas for design concepts through research, exploration and experimentation

1.2 Develop initial design concepts consistent with the aim of the work or specifications in the brief

1.3 Evaluate and explore options that best suit the design brief

1.4 Refine options and select the approach that best meets design brief requirements

2. Plan design process

2.1 Develop a clear plan and schedule for design realisation

2.2 Organise and allocate resources to meet required standards, timeframes and budget

2.3 Liaise with others involved in design realisation as required

2.4 Monitor process to ensure purpose and quality of the design is maintained

2.5 Identify difficulties or problems and take action to rectify them

2.6 Maintain accurate, relevant and complete documentation

3. Refine and consolidate process

3.1 Develop effective 2-D designs and design processes

3.2 Apply relevant ethical, organisational and legislative requirements to design activities

3.3 Develop and document a designprocess that reflects own style and approach

3.4 Identify opportunities for refinement and review and make adjustments as required

3.5 Communicate the design process and the final solution using effective work documentation

3.6 Prepare and present 2-D design solutions to key people

4. Maintain expertise

4.1 Use feedback from others to improve own design skills

4.2 Stay up-to-date with industry standards and seek opportunities to further develop technical and conceptual skills

4.3 Source new ideas and trends through regular review of the work of others

4.4 Keep informed about new creative approaches, techniques, materials and equipment for 2-D design

Evidence of the ability to:

originate and refine concepts for two-dimensional (2-D) designs that address a brief

plan, develop and document effective 2-D design solutions and design processes that meet project requirements

use feedback and own initiative to further develop proficiency and practice in 2-D design work.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

explain the techniques for creating 2-D designs in the particular area of work

describe the basic principles of 2-D design

describe physical properties and capabilities of the range of equipment, tools and materials used for 2-D design

explain common presentation methods for finished 2-D designs

outline work space requirements for the production of 2-D design, including set-up of work space for particular types of 2-D work

describe typical issues and challenges that arise in the context of making 2-D designs

outline the ethical, organisational and legislative requirements associated with 2-D designs.

Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in creative arts industry environments. The assessment environment must include access to:

work specifications and/or design brief

information sources

materials, equipment, tools and appropriate work space to produce design work

interaction with relevant people.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.


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.
