Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Plan and organise requirements
   • Interpret design briefs, in consultation with clients or colleagues
   • Research financial, physical and human resources required for developing design concept to prototype stage
   • Investigate environmental, ethical and technical factors that impact on selection and use of resources
   • Select and prepare resources based on research into designs and approaches used for similar wearable objects, and relevant standards or legislative requirements
2. Test design approaches
   • Produce preliminary visuals
   • Experiment with range of techniques and processes to test design approaches
   • Evaluate, challenge and refine testing processes
   • Critique own work and seek feedback as required
   • Document outcomes of testing
   • Select final design approach based on outcomes of testing and input from others
3. Make prototypes of wearable objects
   • Scope work and determine requirements for object fabrication
   • Select and organise materials, tools and equipment for fabrication according to design approach
   • Make prototype or sample consistent with design concepts and brief
   • Respond to feedback and refine work as required
   • Present prototypes within agreed timeframes

Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to:

interpret requirements in a design brief in consultation with relevant people

identify and prepare resources required to respond to the design brief

test and use a range of approaches and techniques for the design of wearable objects, and document the results of testing

create a prototype based on selected design approach.

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:

outline the role of testing and experimentation in the design process

outline factors that impact on the selection and use of resources

identify materials, tools and equipment, and their capabilities and application, to designing and making wearable objects

describe the techniques used in the manufacture of wearable objects

outline legislation and ethical considerations relevant to the design and making of wearable objects.
