Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Originate ideas for 2-D design
   • Generate ideas for design concepts through research, exploration and experimentation
   • Develop initial design concepts consistent with the aim of the work or specifications in the brief
   • Evaluate and explore options that best suit the design brief
   • Refine options and select the approach that best meets design brief requirements
2. Plan design process
   • Develop a clear plan and schedule for design realisation
   • Organise and allocate resources to meet required standards, timeframes and budget
   • Liaise with others involved in design realisation as required
   • Monitor process to ensure purpose and quality of the design is maintained
   • Identify difficulties or problems and take action to rectify them
   • Maintain accurate, relevant and complete documentation
3. Refine and consolidate process
   • Develop effective 2-D designs and design processes
   • Apply relevant ethical, organisational and legislative requirements to design activities
   • Develop and document a designprocess that reflects own style and approach
   • Identify opportunities for refinement and review and make adjustments as required
   • Communicate the design process and the final solution using effective work documentation
   • Prepare and present 2-D design solutions to key people
4. Maintain expertise
   • Use feedback from others to improve own design skills
   • Stay up-to-date with industry standards and seek opportunities to further develop technical and conceptual skills
   • Source new ideas and trends through regular review of the work of others
   • Keep informed about new creative approaches, techniques, materials and equipment for 2-D design

Performance Evidence

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.

Knowledge Evidence

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.
