Course Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to explore and apply the design process in
a 2-dimensional (2D) way in response to a brief. This is a core unit in design fundamentals and as such underpins many other specialisation units.

Overview of Assessment
3 x projects
Students will be tutored with a verbal and/or written evaluation of their progress, within class time.
A final assessment of Competency Achieved or Not Yet Competent will be given at the end of the course when students will submit all completed work.
To be deemed competent students must satisfactorily complete all Learning Elements and related Performance Criteria.
Grading will be offered in addition to, and after, competency based assessment.
Assessment Tasks
Assessment Task 1: Print making. Printmaking. In this project, you will create a print, with subject matter and materials determined through the use of creative thinking techniques. Emphasis is placed on the experimentation and evaluation of experiments.
Weighted grade: 35%
Due date: Week 8
Assessment Task 2: Impossible product. In this project, you will use creative thinking tehniques to generate a concept for a label that will be applied to a 3D object.
Weighted grade: 30%
Due date: Week 12
Assessment Task 3: Papercraft figure. In this project, you will generate a concept and apply it to a provided template. Emphasis is placed on the experimentation and evaluation of experiments.
Weighted grade: 35%
Due date: Week 18
Assessment Matrix
You will receive feedback with verbal and/or written evaluation of your progress within class time. The submitted projects will be assessed with written feedback as well as a quality indicator that relates to separate components of the project and the overall outcome.
At the completion of the course, grading will be offered in addition to, and after, competency based assessment.
Grades which apply to courses delivered in accordance with competency-based assessment, but which also use graded assessment.
CHD Competent with High Distinction
CDI Competent with Distinction
CC Competent with Credit
CAG Competency Achieved - Graded
NYC Not Yet Competent
DNS Did Not Submit for Assessment
Other Information
Certificate IV in Design (Accelerated) 2012: This unit is delivered in conjunction with Explore and apply the creative design process to 3D forms (GRAP5294C). The three assessment tasks described in this course guide are also used in that unit.
Attendance
The major learning experience involves studio based exercises, demonstration and production. It is strongly advised that students attend all sessions in order to engage in the required learning activities, ensuring the maximum opportunity to gain the competency.
Special consideration Policy (Late Submission)
All assessment tasks are required to be completed to a satisfactory level. If you are unable to complete any piece of assessment by the due date, you will need to apply for an extension.
Please refer to the following URL for extensions and special consideration:
