Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to combine creative and technical design expertise with a sound grasp of the particular factors that apply to signage and other built environment designs.It applies to individuals working as graphic designers who are likely to be members of a collaborative creative team. They may create logos and signs on building interiors and exteriors, directional signage in streets, transport terminals and retail outlets, or promotional signage in any of these contexts. No licensing, legislative or certification conditions apply to this unit at the time of publication
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in creative arts industry environments. The assessment environment must include access to:

graphic design technologies

opportunities for collaboration with others.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
