Course Description

In this course you will be introduced  to the fundamental skills necessary to progress design ideas into fashion drawings including trade drawings. You will learn how to carry out primary research and relate this to fashion trends using a journal to record your ideas and design development. Using both manual and CAD techniques you will begin to develop an individual presentation style, appropriate for the different stages of the design process.

 

       

Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development

In this course you will develop the following program learning outcomes:

1. Apply and creatively adapt a body of theoretical and technical knowledge and skills in fashion design and technology to your practice or future study
2. Recogize and apply relevant technologies in the fashion design and production sector of the industry
3. lnvestigate and work creatively to solve fashion design and production related problems
4. Communicate effectively and collaboratively in a team environment relevant to fashion practice.
 

Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to:

1. Investigate elements and principles of design as they apply to fashion design
2. Analyse and interpret a range of international fashion trends for an Australian market
3. Interpret and create a design brief for fashion applying elements and principles design through a design processes to solve a fashion problem
4. Produce a range of drawings and two dimensional sketches of garments to identify construction features
5. Apply technical drawing skills and computer software knowledge to interpret and clarify garment design and documentation.
