Application

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to create effective advertising using highly developed creative and technical graphic design expertise and an understanding of advertising and consumer behaviour.

It applies to individuals working in a range of industry contexts who are likely to be members of a collaborative team. Depending on the work context, they may or may not be responsible for integrating content such as text, sound or interactivity to produce completed advertisements. Although designers at this level work with a high degree of autonomy, they are still likely to be members of a collaborative creative team.

No licensing, legislative or certification conditions apply to this unit at the time of publication
