Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Research information on colour theory and design processes
   • Identify and access relevant sources of information on colour theory and design processes
   • Research historical and contemporary approaches to colour and design in the context of a work project
   • Evaluate information to determine how colour theory and design may be integrated into the design process
   • Consider intellectual property and other legislative requirements relevant to design processes
2. Communicate ideas through the application of colour and design theory
   • Experiment with selected materials, tools and equipment to determine new ways in which colour theory and design processes may be integrated
   • Explore and develop new ideas through a process of experimentation
   • Achieve solutions by working with the elements and principles of design and different aspects of colour
3. Evaluate design work
   • Reflect on own application of design process and success in communicating concepts
   • Identify areas for future improvement, especially in terms of own skill development
   • Discuss completed work with others and respond positively to feedback

Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to:

research colour theory and the design process and analyse findings

use practical exploration and experimentation to enhance idea development

apply colour theory and design processes to communicate ideas in projects

use strategies to evaluate work outcomes.

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

Knowledge Evidence

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

explain how differences in individual perception and choice within the design process influences final outcomes

discuss the effects of rigid application of colour theory to design processes and project outcomes

explain ways in which colour theory and design processes can be explored and combined to meet the needs of a project

list a range of materials, tools and equipment required for the production of samples that integrate colour theory and design processes

explain how other artists and designers have applied colour theory and design processes to their work

summarise intellectual property issues and legislation and their impact on aspects of design.
