Application
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to explore and creatively apply the design process to the development of two-dimensional (2D) forms.
It applies to individuals who apply the creative design process to the development of 2D forms. The unit underpins many other specialised design units.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Elements and Performance Criteria
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1 Source information on 2D design | 1.1 Identify and access relevant sources of information on 2D design 1.2 Evaluate and collate information to build knowledge of 2D design |
2 Explore the creative design process for 2D forms | 2.1 Use creative thinking techniques to generate a range of ideas and options 2.2 Use experimentation to explore and challenge a range of different ideas 2.3 Challenge assumptions, reflect on ideas and refine approaches 2.4 Consciously change perspective, and evaluate ideas and situations in new ways |
3 Communicate concepts or ideas through application of design processes to 2D forms | 3.1 Investigate and reflect on how a particular concept or idea might be communicated in 2D 3.2 Select materials, tools and equipment relevant to the realisation of the concept or idea 3.3 Apply a creative design process to produce a range of 2D concept realisations 3.4 Reflect on own application of design process and success in communicating the concept or idea 3.5 Seek and obtain feedback from others about the 2D form and its success in communicating the concept or idea 3.6 Present and store concept realisations or samples in a format which takes account of the need for professional presentation and the work’s potential value for future jobs |
Foundation Skills
This section describes language, literacy, numeracy and employment skills incorporated in the performance criteria that are required for competent performance.
Skill | Performance Criteria | Description |
Reading | 1.1, 1.2, 3.1 | Interprets textual information from relevant sources to determine and adhere to requirements |
Writing | 2.1, 3.6 | Produces a range of text types using appropriate vocabulary, grammatical structure and referencing conventions |
Oral Communication | 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 3.5 | Participates in verbal exchanges using vocabulary, style and tone appropriate to audience Uses listening techniques to clarify understanding |
Numeracy | 3.1, 3.3, 3.5 | Performs mathematical calculations to produce 2D designs |
Get the work done | 1.1, 1.2, 2.1-2.4, 3.1-3.4, 3.6 | Plans and organises tasks required to achieve required outcomes Identifies ideas in use in other contexts and considers how they might be applied in own context Selects new ideas that may improve a process in immediate work context Takes responsibility for routine low-impact decisions within familiar situations Evaluates effectiveness of decisions on how well they meet stated goals |
