Assist in preparation of preliminary design concepts

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


The unit applies to assisting others in the preparation of preliminary design concepts for garments where discretion and judgement may be required, for both self and others, in planning and selecting processes, procedures or outcomes.

The unit may involve applications associated with original creation, or adaptation of designs or interpretation of sketches within contexts related to single or multiple production styles and ranges, made-to-measure and theatre costuming.

Design may relate to individual garments where generally basic stable fabrics are used. The extent and nature of product design depends on the products and workplace structure.

Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team-related activities.

The application of this unit is according to OHS practices of the enterprise and workplace practices, which may include:

requirements prescribed by legislation, awards agreements and conditions of employment

standard operating procedures

work instructions

oral, written and visual communication

quality practices including responsibility for maintenance of own work quality and contribution to quality improvement of team or section output

housekeeping

tasks related to environmental protection, waste disposal, pollution control, and recycling

This unit requires teamwork and communication skills to work with others in the design process. Planning and organising and problem skills are required to apply design processes and initiative and enterprise are required to contribute to design ideas.

This unit covers the skills and knowledge to assist with research and preparation of initial garment design concepts.

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

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.

This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level, required for this unit.

Demonstrates knowledge of:

the elements and principles of design and how they are used to create good design in the fashion industry

the industry, global and local trends

garment construction

research sources

colour/colour mix and interpretation

fabrics, fibres, trims, accessories and their properties and characteristics

OHS practices including hazard identification and control measures

quality practices

workplace practices

recording and reporting practices

Demonstrates skills to:

provide effective assistance with the preparation of preliminary design concepts

produce sketches manually or using CAD systems

communicate effectively with individuals, work groups and supervisors

interpret and carry out established procedures

document and transfer information

read, interpret and follow information on work specifications, standard operating procedures and work instructions, and other reference material

maintain accurate records

sequence operations

meet specifications

clarify and check task-related information

carry out work according to OHS practices

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. Add any essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment depending on the work situation, needs if the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts.

Legislative/regulatory requirements

All work must comply with relevant Federal and State or Territory legislative or regulatory requirements.

OHS practices

OHS practices must include hazard identification and control, risk assessment and implementation of risk reduction measures specific to the tasks described by this unit and may include:

manual handling techniques

standard operating procedures

personal protective equipment

safe materials handling

taking of rest breaks

ergonomic arrangement of workplaces

following marked walkways

safe storage of equipment

housekeeping

reporting accidents and incidents

other OHS practices relevant to the job and enterprise

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
Design parameters are clarified, in consultation with designer, sales team, management and client. 
Strategy plan and critical path plan are developed. 
Constraints are identified and taken into account when clarifying brief. 
Trends in fabrics, etc. are researched for performance, colour, availability, care and maintenance requirements and suitability to project or design. 
Technical requirements associated with production are assessed, within specified guidelines and according to OHS practices. 
Any additional expertise required for project is identified. 
Preliminary concepts are worked out in conjunction with others to identify possibilities. 
Story themes are developed using fashion magazines, samples, swatches, trims and colour palette. 
Ideas are contributed and discussed with team members to enhance success of project. 
Relevant support materials and explanations are developed and refined in conjunction with members of design team. 
Own role and relationship to others for presentation meeting is determined and rehearsed. 
Presentation is assessed in a manner which promotes acceptance or approval or the design.
