Release 1

This version first released with the Information and Communications Technology Training Package Version 8.0.

Newly created unit of competency to address in-demand skills needs.

Application

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to create user interfaces (UIs) for a wide range of devices and interactive multimedia in digital environments. It includes interpreting and using existing UI designs to produce UIs that meet user requirements.

The unit applies to individuals who may work in UI and user experience (UX) development roles who apply information and communications technology (ICT) skills and knowledge in team environments.

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

  • audience
  • purpose of products
  • industry-recognised UI designs
  • common types of text and presentation styles used when developing UIs, including:
  • style sheets
  • templates
  • themes
  • functions, features and applications of UI principles, including:
  • communication principles
  • visual design principles
  • user-centred design principles
  • functions and features of trademarks and logos in developing UI design ideas
