Course Description
In this unit you will learn skills and knowledge required to identify influences on contemporary fashion designs and construction techniques, draw 3-D designs and operate computing technology in a TCF workplace . The course applies to the analysis of the most important economic, social, political and technological factors that have had an impact on fashion development and demand. It also applies to the illustration or drawing of designs from the designer or rough sketch. The 3-D drawings feature all perspectives of the product and are used as a communication tool for construction or promotional purposes. The drawing may be done manually and by computer.
This course addresses the following units:
MSTFD4014 - Identify influences on contemporary fashion designs & construction techniques
MSTGN3006 - Draw 3-D designs
MSTGN2014 - Operate in Computer Technology
All these units are clustered for delivery but may assessed separately.
