Apply design studio processes to meet client brief

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


The unit requires integration of skills across the design process and focuses on the production of a fashion design to meet a client brief.

Studio processes are to be applied in an iterative manner to accommodate experimentation and continuous improvement in order to achieve desired design effects.

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 skills in problem solving, planning and organising and initiative and enterprise to develop a design and produce a fashion design product. Communication skills are required to interpret requirements, conduct research, develop supporting documentation such as patterns and present design concepts to clients. Self management and learning skills are used to explore, evaluate and review design processes used.

This unit covers the skills and knowledge to apply design studio processes when working to a client brief to design and produce fashion garments.

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