Apply design studio process

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


The unit is a holistic unit that requires the integration of skills across the design process and focuses on the use and experimentation of design studio processes to result in the production of a fashion design product which meets a specified brief. The design brief is determined by a trainer or supervisor and may be contextualised to a particular context within the fashion industry. The design brief includes clear specifications for the product design.

Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team-related activities.

The application of this unit is according to OHS practices of the enterprise and workplace practices, which may include:

requirements prescribed by legislation, awards agreements and conditions of employment

standard operating procedures

work instructions

oral, written and visual communication

quality practices, including responsibility for maintenance of own work quality and contribution to quality improvement of team or section output

housekeeping

tasks related to environmental protection, waste disposal, pollution control, and recycling

This unit requires skills in problem solving, planning and organising and initiative and enterprise to develop a design and produce a fashion design product. Communication skills are required to interpret requirements, develop supporting documentation such as patterns and discuss design concepts. Self management and learning skills are used to evaluate and review design processes used.

This unit covers the skills and knowledge to apply design studio processes when interpreting and responding to a specified brief through the production of a fashion design product.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
