Application

This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to research and critically evaluate global floristry design trends and practice at a strategic level, and to use that research as a way of extending expertise in floristry design and construction.

This unit applies to all floristry industry businesses including retail floristry shops, and studio floristry businesses and those that specialise in corporate or special events. It applies to senior and specialist floral designers and floral stylists who work with significant autonomy, have considerable experience across product categories and have a strategic design focus as part of their job role.

No occupational licensing, certification or specific legislative requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Elements and Performance Criteria

ELEMENTS 

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA 

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1. Explore floristry design trends and practice.

1.1 Assess and select research strategies for exploration of global floristry design ideas and concepts.

1.2 Identify and explore new and alternative sources of information.

1.3 Research information on the history and evolution of the global floristry industry as a context for current work practice.

1.4 Identify and explore current, emerging technology and innovative ideas in floristry design practice.

1.5 Identify consumer markets for innovative floristry designs.

2. Evaluate information to inform work practice.

2.1 Use information to challenge own past design practice and personal style.

2.2 Analyse ways in which trends may be used or adapted to current work practice and generate commercial opportunities.

2.3 Assess the commercial viability of producing floristry designs that align to new and emerging trends.

2.4 Use information to generate discussion and critical analysis of floristry design trends.

2.5 Develop position on global design trends and emerging technology and integrate into professional design practice.

3. Extend floristry design skills and knowledge.

Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to complete tasks outlined in elements and performance criteria of this unit in the context of the job role, and:

  • complete a research project using information from at least three different sources to:
  • identify and explore current, emerging technology and innovative ideas in floristry design practice
  • develop a report which covers:
  • analysis of emerging floristry design trends and technology
  • implications for their adoption including implications for the commercial viability of floristry designs that align to new and emerging trends
  • impacts on current design practice
  • potential for generating commercial opportunities
  • information on discussions and debates and the individual’s position on global design trends and emerging technology
  • plans for integrating new and emerging trends to own professional design practice
  • any experiences where design skills have been extended by using new and emerging trends during or post research.

Knowledge Evidence
