Performance Criteria |
|
Elements describe the essential outcomes. |
Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
|
1. Identify evaluation criteria |
1.1 Analyse project brief to determine key design requirements 1.2 Verify problems or underlying factors to be addressed in the project brief 1.3 Identify communication requirements for the project 1.4 Research and identify current industry design trends relating to project brief 1.5 Research and identify workplace and industry standards in relation to design presentation 1.6 Research and verify quality and evaluation criteria that apply to design processes |
|
2. Apply evaluation criteria |
2.1 Examine design drawings, and all associated documentation to identify all features of the finished design against the original design concept 2.2 Evaluate the design and all specifications against project brief to check consistency 2.3 Evaluate the design and use critical reflection to determine how well elements and principles of design have been applied 2.4 Evaluate the design for consistency with current industry trends and influences 2.5 Evaluate the design against client requirements, including adherence to time and budget 2.6 Evaluate the design for quality and innovation 2.7 Evaluate processes engaged to develop finished design for effectiveness in achieving final design outcomes |
|
3. Suggest design improvements |
3.1 Examine and document factors affecting the outcome of the project 3.2 Use collaboration and critical thinking to inform suggestions for improving that design and how it meets the established design criteria 3.3 Use technical design skills to reflect evaluation outcomes and communicate improvements 3.4 Identify and test potential design improvements for viability 3.5 Achieve design improvements through selection, adaptation and introduction of materials, tools, technology and design processes 3.6 Respect intellectual and copyright requirements when incorporating ideas from others 3.7 Compile and produce evaluation report that addresses key criteria |
Foundation Skills
The Foundation Skills describe those required skills (such as, language, literacy, numeracy and employment skills) that are essential to performance:
- technology skills use digital research and create evaluation reports.
Other foundation skills essential to performance are explicit in the performance criteria of this unit of competency.
