Unit Descriptor

This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to research and apply techniques for the design of wearable objects. It involves interpreting work briefs, organising resources, testing ideas, and refining approaches to a range of design challenges. The unit covers the design process to the point of producing prototypes of wearable objects.

Application of the Unit

Individuals who generate design ideas and solutions for wearable objects, such as fashion accessories and clothing, costumes, footwear, millinery and jewellery, apply the skills and knowledge in this unit.

Skills associated with producing the final wearable objects can be found in units related to specific disciplines, e.g. making costumes or jewellery. These units can be found elsewhere in CUV11 Visual Arts, Craft and Design Training Package, or in other Training Packages such as CUF07 Screen and Media or LMT07 Textiles, Clothing and Footwear.

At this level, research, experimentation and ongoing refinement are used to produce a range of design work where an individual is beginning the process of finding an individual style. Work is undertaken independently with supervision and guidance as required.

Licensing/Regulatory Information

No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement.

Pre-Requisites

Not applicable.

Employability Skills Information

This unit contains employability skills.

Elements and Performance Criteria Pre-Content

Element

Performance Criteria

Elements describe the essential outcomes of a unit of competency.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the required skills and knowledge section and the range statement. Assessment of performance is to be consistent with the evidence guide.

Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Interpret briefs for the design of wearable objects	1.1 Interpret the specifications of design briefs 1.2 Take user or client requirements into account when making decisions about designing wearable objects 1.3 Clarify issues about specifications, parameters and constraints with relevant people as required 1.4 Research and evaluate information pertinent to briefs
2. Organise resources	2.1 Identify resources required to develop prototypes of wearable objects, including work space, materials, tools and equipment 2.2 Prepare and care for resources according to requirements 2.3 Follow storage and inventory procedures
3. Test design approaches for wearable objects	3.1 Produce preliminary visual representations 3.2 Identify possible approaches and establish criteria for selecting final approach 3.3 Select appropriate materials, tools and equipment and test approaches and techniques 3.4 Evaluate testing processes against criteria and select the approach that best meets the requirements of briefs 3.5 Critique own work and seek feedback as required 3.6 Refine and document the design approach based on testing and evaluation
4. Make prototypes of wearable objects	4.1 Evaluate the need for object fabrication and the scope of work required 4.2 Select and organise materials, tools and equipment for fabrication according to design approach 4.3 Make the prototype or sample ensuring consistency with design concepts and briefs 4.4 Respond positively to feedback and refine work as required 4.5 Present prototypes within agreed timeframes

Required Skills and Knowledge

This section describes the skills and knowledge required for this unit.

Required skills

communication skills to engage with others about approaches to the design of wearable objects
initiative and enterprise skills to experiment with techniques to produce effects that enhance wearable objects
learning skills to refine and improve a range of techniques
literacy skills to:

interpret design briefs
research information to support graphic design work

numeracy skills to:

calculate costs and quantities
take measurements

self-management and planning skills to plan work tasks
technical skills to evaluate, adapt and integrate a range of techniques into the design and prototyping of wearable objects

Required knowledge

role of experimentation in the design process

OHS requirements relevant to the design of wearable objects

Evidence Guide

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	Evidence of the ability to: test and use a range of approaches and techniques for the design of wearable objects in response to the requirements of a brief produce a prototype of at least one wearable object apply knowledge of processes and techniques used to design wearable objects.
Context of and specific resources for assessment	Assessment must ensure access to: briefs on which to base the design of wearable objects equipment and tools used to produce prototypes of wearable objects.
Method of assessment	A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit: direct observation of design or prototyping work in progress, including exploration of, and experimentation with, techniques evaluation of objects designed by the candidate questioning and discussion about the candidate’s intentions and the work outcome review of visual documentation for wearable objects review of portfolios of evidence review of third-party reports from experienced practitioners. Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands (e.g. literacy) and the needs of particular groups (e.g. people with disabilities and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties, such as speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling).
Guidance information for assessment	Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example: BSBDES401A Generate design solutions BSBDES402A Interpret and respond to a design brief.

Range Statement
