Performance Criteria:

2.1. Use creative thinking techniques to generate a range of ideas and options
2.2. Use experimentation to explore and challenge a range of different ideas
2.3. Challenge assumptions, reflect on ideas and refine approaches
2.4. Consciously change perspective, and evaluate ideas and situations in new ways
 

Element:

3.  Communicate concepts or ideas through application of design processes to 2-dimensional forms

Performance Criteria:

3.1. Investigate and reflect on how a particular concept or idea might be communicated in a 2-dimensional form
3.2. Select materials, tools and equipment relevant to the realisation of the concept or idea
3.3. Apply a creative design process to produce a range of 2-dimensional concept realisations
3.4. Reflect on own application of design process and success in communicating the concept or idea
3.5. Seek and obtain feedback from others about the 2-dimensional form and its success in communicating the concept or idea
3.6. Present and store concept realisations or samples in a format which takes account of the need for professional presentation and potential value for future work
 


Learning Outcomes


This unit applies to individuals who apply the creative design process to the development of 2-dimensional forms. The unit underpins many other specialised design units.

Other Resources

RMIT will provide you with resources and tools for learning in this
course through our online systems and access to specialised facilities and relevant software. You will also have access of the library resources.
 

It is advised that students come prepared to each weeks lessons: Bring stationary equipment such as glue stick, blutac and scissors each week.


 


Overview of Assessment

Evidence of the following is essential:
• production of a range of samples or concept realisations which show the creative application of processes to 2-dimensional forms
• knowledge of the design process as it applies to 2-dimensional work.

Assessment must ensure:
• access to the materials resources and equipment needed to apply design processes to 2-dimensional forms.


Assessment Tasks

Assessment tasks in this course are either formative or summative. Formative tasks provide the basis for ongoing feedback and can be considered essential building blocks for the more substantial summative assessment tasks. Summative assessment tasks in this course are graded.
Feedback throughout the course may be written, verbal or a combination of both.
To demonstrate competency in this course you need to complete each one of the following pieces of assessment to a satisfactory standard.

TASK 1 - formative assessment
The elements & principles design statement using the city walk - due week 4
This assessment relates to learning the  language of the design industry. It will involve taking photographs on a ’City Walk’  and participating in class discussion about design elements and principals. 

TASK 2 - fomative assessment 
A2 Presentation Board - due week 7
It involves working on and visually presenting a materials board for the decoration industry.  The final submission is an A2 materials board related to an inspirational image of an interior.

TASK 3 - summative assessment 
Rug Design - due week 10
This project brings together all the elements of previous learning and applies them to an A3 board displaying an original rug design.
