Elements and Performance Criteria
- Explore opportunities to develop innovative products.
- Investigate brief, need or opportunity for innovation and clarify context for the product.
- Generate ideas for innovative and creative solutions in response to function of and intended audience for floristry product.
- Challenge brief or style ideas of customers by suggesting innovative designs outside scope of their creativity.
- Challenge own past design practice and personal style; identify opportunities to diversify through design of innovative products.
- Challenge assumptions about product range and develop entrepreneurial attitudes towards innovative products.
- Develop a range of creative design concepts.
- Use creative thinking techniques to generate a range of innovative and creative concepts.
- Apply elements and principles of design when generating initial and ongoing design ideas until final product plans are achieved.
- Encourage and assess contribution of creative and innovative ideas by colleagues and customers.
- Review and assess different concepts for technical feasibility, innovation, creativity and acceptability to audience.
- Identify potential problems and check concepts against constraints to determine feasibility.
- Select concepts that achieve an innovative and feasible outcome and maintain notes, plans and sketches of all design concepts.
- Refine and resolve the innovative design through experimentation.
- Experiment with differing flower and plant materials, styles, construction materials and techniques considering and applying elements and principles of design.
