Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Identify evaluation criteria
  • 1.1 Specifications and design brief are sourced and interpreted.
  • 1.2 Purpose of design and characteristics of target market are identified.
  • 1.3 Current industry design trends are researched and identified.
  • 1.4 Workplace and industry standards in relation to design presentation are researched and identified.
  • 1.5 Quality criteria that apply to design processes are researched and identified.
  • 1.6 Evaluation criteria are identified.
2 Apply evaluation criteria
  • 2.1 Finished design is evaluated against original design concept.
  • 2.2 The design and its individual features are evaluated against client brief to check consistency.
  • 2.3 The design is evaluated to identify how well design principles have been applied.
  • 2.4 The design is evaluated for consistency with current industry trends and influences.
  • 2.5 The design is evaluated to ensure commercial appeal and viability.
  • 2.6 The design is evaluated for quality and innovative elements.
  • 2.7 Suggestions are made for adjustments to design to increase its ability to meet criteria.
3 Suggest design improvements
  • 3.1 Technical design skills are used to reflect evaluation outcomes and communicate improvements.
  • 3.2 Potential design improvements are identified and tested for viability.
  • 3.3 Selection, adaptation and introduction of materials, tools, technology and production processes is applied to design improvements.
  • 3.4 Compliance with intellectual and copyright requirements is observed when incorporating ideas from others.
RANGE STATEMENT
The Range Statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the Performance Criteria, is detailed below. Add any essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment depending on the work situation, needs if the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts.
Legislative/regulatory requirements
All work must comply with relevant Federal and State or Territory legislative or regulatory requirements.
Evaluation criteria may include:
how the design:
achieves design brief
meets budget
meets timeline
meets client needs
meets workplace and industry standards
is suitable for end use and target market
is suitable for current fashion design trends and expectations
Technical skills include:
sketching/drawing techniques, including shading
use of different media
use of line, form and colour
the degree of realism/abstraction
including other features
using information technology and software programs
OHS practices
OHS practices must include hazard identification and control, risk assessment and implementation of risk reduction measures specific to the tasks described by this unit and may include:
manual handling techniques
standard operating procedures
personal protective equipment
safe materials handling
taking of rest breaks
ergonomic arrangement of workplaces
following marked walkways
safe storage of equipment
housekeeping
reporting accidents and incidents
other OHS practices relevant to the job and enterprise
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
Demonstrates skills and knowledge to:
research and access relevant information from a range of sources
critically evaluate designs against a client brief, design concept and specifications
evaluate designs so they reflect current industry trends, commercial considerations, client briefs, innovation in design and quality considerations

Consistency in performance
Consistently applies skills and knowledge when:
organising work
completing tasks
identifying improvements
using workplace practices
using OHS practices
recording and reporting accidents and incidents
assessing operational readiness of equipment used and work processes
recognising and adapting to cultural differences in the workplace, including modes of behaviour and interactions
completing work systematically with attention to detail without damage to goods and equipment

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.
