Overview of Assessment

This course is assessed in accordance with competency-based assessment. To demonstrate competency in this course you will need to complete all the assessment to a satisfactory standard. This course consists of 2 Units of Competency that are clustered together for delivery and assessment. The other Unit of Competency in this clustered course is - MSTTD4008 Present and promote textile design concepts You will receive feedback from the teacher at the conclusion of each assessment task. Competency is achieved only if competency has been demonstrated within the standard enrolment period. Students are advised that they may be asked to personally demonstrate their assessment work to confirm aspects of competency not evidenced in class or through assessments. Results for this course are delivered and assessed in accordance with competency-based assessment are: CA: Competency Achieved NYC: Not Yet Competent DNS: Did not Submit for Assessment If you have a long term medical condition and/or disability it may be possible to negotiate to vary aspects of the learning or assessment methods. You can contact the program coordinator or Equitable Learning Services if you would like to find out more. https://www.rmit.edu.au/students/support-and-facilities/student-support/equitable-learning-services Your course assessment conforms to RMIT assessment principles, regulations, policies, procedures and instructions which are available for review online: https://www.rmit.edu.au/students/student-essentials/assessment-and-exams/assessment

Assessment Tasks

Assessment Task 1: The NAS Cushion Brief Due date: Friday 4th of August

This is an industry driven brief for New Academic Street RMIT City campus. Students are required to create printed designs in response to the Past, Present, Future theme. The selected designs will be used as cushions for the rocking chairs in NAS for the opening of the new space.

 

Assessment Task 2: Designing From the Everyday

The purpose of this brief is to develop a range of repeat systems using Photoshop and Illustrator. Inspiration will come from every day, almost mundane sources, to be developed through shape distortion and motif development into a series of digital designs. The collection will be presented in a digital portfolio and incorporate two storyboard images to display the end use of the design.

 

Assessment Task 3: (Un)natural

This brief is intended to develop storyboard and presentation skills. Taking elements from nature, a cohesive range of designs will be developed through digital manipulation and then displayed in a way that shows the features of the design through the development of storyboards and visual tools. The final outcome will be a digital portfolio and verbal presentation of design concepts and processes.
