Course Description
The unit applies to the planning and creation of textile design folio’s using CAD programs and equipment to develop and manipulate folio content. Creative and technical skills are applied to the development through to the completion of the folio. Folio requirements are determined in consultation with the client and through analysis of design specifications. The design may be of one’s own determination or provided by a client or other source.
Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team-related activities.
This unit requires the application of skills associated with communication to consult with clients, review and interpret design specifications, determine folio objectives and parameters and document information. Initiative and enterprise, planning and organising and problem solving skills will also be used to determine folio specifications, select programs and equipment, plan layouts, and to apply creative processes to folio development. Knowledge and application of computing technology is central to the planning and production of the folio.

Overview of Assessment
Stduents will undetake projects that will enable them to demonstrate their ability to use digital desing tols to creat folios.
To achieve successful completion of this course students must demonstrate an understanding of all elements of competency.
Assessment tasks have been designed to measure achievement of each competency in a flexible manner.
Assessment will incorporate a variety of methods including technical requirements documentation, homework and in class exercises, practical problem solving exercises, layout and presentation of textile design
Students will be awarded a grade only if competency has been demonstrated within the standard enrolment period on the first assessment attempt.
Units assessed as ‘not yet competent’ on a first assessment attempt and ‘competent’ on a second or subsequent attempt are to have results amended to competent but are not eligible for grading.
Students are advised that they are likely to be asked to personally demonstrate their assessment work to their teacher.
All work must be submitted by the due date.
Late submission will not be graded higher than a PASS.
