Course Description

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to explore and apply the design process in a 3-dimensional (3D) way in response to a brief. This is a core unit in design fundamentals and as such underpins many other specialisation units.


National Codes, Titles, Elements and Performance Criteria

National Element Code & Title:

BSBDES303A Explore and apply the creative design process to 3D forms

Element:

1. Source information on 3-dimensional design

Performance Criteria:

1.1 Identify and access relevant sources of information on 3-dimensional design
