Application
This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to apply principles of colour theory to fashion design development.
The unit of competency applies to identifying the elements and principles of colour theory, and how they impact on the design process when developing fashion products. It includes the development of a colour wheel and a colour chart for an identified design concept. It applies to using colour in any area of the fashion design process, to create visual effects, influence mood and develop design directions based on colour choices.
Work is supervised and may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team activities.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
