Description
This unit covers the skills and knowledge to apply electronic systems to textile design and production processes.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Interpret textile design brief
- 1.1 Design brief is interpreted to determine design criteria
- 1.2 Trends, themes and influences in textile design are researched and evaluated in line with brief
- 1.3 Complexity of design is evaluated in terms of intricacy and range of features
- 1.4 Workstation is set up according to OHS practices, and preliminary design concept images are created using relevant electronic system
2 Develop design concept using computer aided design system
- 2.1 Scale and dimensional aspects of design are produced and adjustments made in line with design brief
- 2.2 Design features are accurately incorporated into image using relevant software tools
- 2.3 Colour palettes are developed and colour and tone effects are explored
- 2.4 Colour palettes are selected and saved and computer screen and printer calibrated accordingly
- 2.5 Texture and pattern effects are developed
- 2.6 Other media is accessed electronically via internet or other networks and used in the creation of design concept
- 2.7 Design concept features are integrated and design image is saved
3 Present and confirm design
- 3.1 Design image output is produced that accurately documents intricate design features, scale and dimension and incorporates design elements
- 3.2 Storyboards are produced and presented using computer aided design processes
- 3.3 Design is presented to client or appropriate personnel for review and modifications are made
4 Determine design specifications and machine settings
- 4.1 Yarn and material requirements for design draft are calculated using computer aided design system
- 4.2 Specifications are confirmed in line with textile design requirements and saved
- 4.3 Patterns are produced
- 4.4 Machine settings are calculated and calibrated with direct interface to textile production machinery where appropriate
5 Finalise design
- 5.1 Design and specifications are confirmed with client or production personnel and modifications saved where necessary
- 5.2 Production plans and specifications are finalised and saved
- 5.3 Final design and specifications are saved as hard copy and incorporated into digital folio

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, Required Skills and Knowledge, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.
Critical aspects of evidence to be considered
Demonstrates skills and knowledge to:
apply design process to interpretation of design brief and development of design concepts
produce intricate designs using computer aided design software
accurately produce, modify and integrate design elements
interact with other computing networks and media sources
determine design specifications and machine settings
calibrate interfaced machinery settings
communicate with clients, design team and production personnel
complete production plans
manage complex computer files
Consistency in performance
Consistently applies skills and knowledge when:
organising work
completing tasks according to instructions
working systematically with attention to detail
identifying improvements and avoiding damage
using workplace practices
using OHS practices
recording and reporting accidents and incidents
assessing operational readiness of equipment
recognising and adapting to cultural differences in the workplace, including modes of behaviour and interactions
Resource implications
Access is required to real or appropriately simulated situations, including work areas, materials and equipment, and to information on workplace practices and OHS practices.
Context for assessment
Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment.
Interdependent assessment
This unit may be assessed independently or in combination with other relevant units.
