Application

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to create visual design components for media, using industry-standard design tools.

It applies to individuals working in digital media under supervision, in all industries as well as ICT related workplaces who are responsible for producing visual design components for digital media to industry standards. Digital media components in this instance refers to interactive or non-interactive design components for an information technology, digital environment.

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

Foundation Skills

This section describes those language, literacy, numeracy and employment skills that are essential to performance but not explicit in the performance criteria.

Skill 

Description 

Oral Communication
  • Articulates complex designs and graphical requirements using listening and questioning techniques to confirm and evaluate design requirements
  • Responds to feedback and criticism with a professional manner

Reading
  • Analyses documentation, images, briefs, instructions, technical and conceptual information from a range of sources, in order to inform the implementation of visual design components for interactive media

Writing
  • Records technical information and prepares required documentation according to organisational standards

Teamwork
  • Selects and uses conventions and protocols to communicate with co-workers and others in a range of work contexts

Planning and organising
  • Takes responsibility for planning and organising own workload

Problem solving

  • Analyses available information and makes informed decisions on routine and non-routine tasks

Self-management
  • Identifies and implements improvement opportunities

Technology
  • Interprets the purposes, specific functions and key features of common digital systems and tools, and operates them effectively to complete routine tasks

Performance Evidence

The candidate must demonstrate the ability to complete the tasks outlined in the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of this unit, including evidence of the ability to:

  • design and produce at least one piece of digital media and its components consistent with a design brief.

In the course of the above, the candidate must:

  • demonstrate original, innovative approaches to creative development according to design principles and elements
  • demonstrate integrity of the design brief against specified requirements
  • construct technical specifications for visual design components and overall usability
  • confirm copyright and intellectual property legislation and organisational requirements are adhered to
  • back up and save work.

Knowledge Evidence

The candidate must be able to demonstrate knowledge to complete the tasks outlined in the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of this unit, including knowledge of:

  • functions, features and uses of graphic software packages and media products, including their purpose, constraints and environments
  • technical constraints that hardware imposes on software development, graphics requirements and creative visual design
  • techniques for applying concept development skills and visualisation skills
  • legislative and organisational requirements, policies and procedures
  • design principles, processes, and elements required to create components for digital media.

Assessment Conditions

Skills in this unit must be demonstrated in a workplace or simulated environment where the conditions are typical of those in a working environment in this industry or similar.

This includes access to:

  • required hardware
  • software packages and application, including required digital media tools
  • design brief
  • file storage devices and systems
  • legislative and organisational requirements applicable too creating visual design components.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
