Apply principles of colour theory to fashion design development

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


The unit applies to the identification of 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. There is a strong focus on the use of colour in the design process; both through creating visual effects and developing 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-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 in order to use colour to achieve desired design effects. Communication skills are required to interpret the effects of colour on design and apply colour concepts on design tools such as illustrations, colour wheels and colour charts. Self management and learning skills are used to evaluate and review colour development and selection processes.

This unit covers the skills and knowledge to identify the elements and principles of colour theory and apply it in the design process for fashion products.

document colour investigations

apply OHS practices in work operations

maintain accurate records

Consistency in performance

Consistently applies skills and knowledge when:

organising work

completing tasks

identifying improvements

using workplace practices

using OHS practices

recording and reporting accidents and incidents

assessing operational readiness of equipment used and work processes

recognising and adapting to cultural differences in the workplace, including modes of behaviour and interactions

completing work systematically with attention to detail without damage to goods and equipment

Resource implications

Access is required to real or appropriately simulated situations, including work areas, materials and equipment, and to information on workplace practices and OHS practices.

Context for assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment.

Interdependent assessment

This unit may be assessed independently or in combination with other relevant units.

Submission Requirements

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level, required for this unit.

Demonstrates knowledge of:

sequence of operations

OHS practices including hazard identification and control measures

quality practices

workplace practices

recording and reporting practices

Demonstrates skills to:

prepare and use colour wheels and colour charts using appropriate tools and equipment

read, interpret and follow information on work specifications, standard operating procedures and work instructions, and other reference material

maintain accurate records

communicate within the workplace

sequence operations

meet specifications

clarify and check task-related information

carry out work according to OHS practices

The Range Statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the Performance Criteria, is detailed below. Add any essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment depending on the work situation, needs if the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts

Legislative/regulatory requirements

All work must comply with relevant Federal and State or Territory legislative or regulatory requirements.

Dimensions of colour may include:

value/tone

hue

chroma/intensity/clarity

Visual or optical effects may include:

size

density

value

visual mixing

simultaneous contrast

motion

texture

Colour combinations may include:

complementary or contrasting

analogous or harmonious

triad

monochromatic

OHS practices

OHS practices must include hazard identification and control, risk assessment and implementation of risk reduction measures specific to the tasks described by this unit and may include:

manual handling techniques

standard operating procedures

personal protective equipment

safe materials handling

taking of rest breaks

ergonomic arrangement of workplaces

following marked walkways

safe storage of equipment

housekeeping

reporting accidents and incidents

other OHS practices relevant to the job and enterprise

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.

Observation Checklist
