The following components of the Evidence Guide relate directly to the Performance Criteria and the Range of Variables for the unit of competency and will inform and provide guidance for assessment of the unit in the workplace and/or training program.
Critical aspects of evidence
Assessment requires evidence of the following products to be collected:
Sample analysis of a project brief and subsequent stylist action plan.
Examples of personally styled photographs.
Answers to questions on photographic styling.
Underpinning knowledge and skills
Knowledge including:
The elements and principles of design.
20th century design trends.
Contemporary design issues.
Copyright and intellectual property issues and legislation and their impact on design practice.
The psychological and marketable characteristics of colour in visual merchandising.
The application and effects of light on colour in photography.
Photographic techniques and terminology.
Skills including:
Creative thinking skills.
Design application.
Ability to work in a team.
Time management skills.
Attention to detail.
Generic process skills
There are a number of processes that are learnt throughout work and life which are required in all jobs. They are fundamental processes and generally transferable to other work functions. Some of these are covered by the key competencies, although others may be added. The questions below highlight how these processes are applied in this unit of competency. Following each question a number indicates the level to which the key competency needs to be demonstrated where 0 = not required, 1 = perform the process, 2 = perform and administer the process, and 3 = perform, administer and design the process.
How can communication of ideas and information be applied? (2)
Communication of ideas and information will be applied when negotiating and interpreting the project brief.
How can information be collected, analysed and organised? (2)
Information on the project brief the available budget and required materials will need to be collected analysed and organised.
How are activities planned and organised? (3)
Activities are planned and organised through the development of a stylist project action plan.
How can team work be applied? (2)
Team work will be applied when seeking information from others in the production team and reporting outcomes.
How can the use of mathematical ideas and techniques be applied? (1)
Mathematical ideas and techniques are applied when assessing camera angles and lighting effects.
How can problem solving skills be applied? (2)
Problem solving skills will be applied when analysing feedback from other team members and modifying the styled arrangement.
How can the use of technology be applied? (0)
The use of technology may not be applied in this unit.
Context of assessment
Assessment process
For valid and reliable assessment of this unit, evidence should be gathered through a range of methods to indicate consistent performance.
It can be gathered from assessment of the unit of competency alone, through an integrated assessment activity or through a combination of both.
Evidence should be gathered as part of the learning process.
Integrated competency assessment
Evidence is most relevant when provided through an integrated activity which combines the elements of competency for each unit, or a cluster of units of competency.
The candidate will be required to:
Apply knowledge and skills which underpin the process required to demonstrate competence, including appropriate key competencies.
Integrate knowledge and skills critical to demonstrating competence in this unit.
Unit WRRVM15A can be assessed with other units which make up a particular job function.
Evidence gathering methods
Evidence should include products, processes and procedures from the workplace context or from a simulated work environment. Evidence might include:
Observation of the person in the workplace.
A simulated photographic styling project.
Third party reports from a supervisor.
A folio of personally developed styling designs.
Client feedback.
Answers to questions about specific skills and knowledge.
Resources required
A real or simulated work environment.
Relevant documentation, such as:
legislation and statutory requirements
Occupational Health and Safety requirements
industry codes of practice
project briefs.
Access to studio and production facilities.
