This course consists of 2 Units of Competency that are clustered together for delivery and assessment. The other Unit of Competency in this clustered course is - MSTTD5010 Produce computer-aided textile design folios You will receive feedback from the teacher at the conclusion of each assessment task. Competency is achieved only if competency has been demonstrated within the standard enrolment period. Students are advised that they may be asked to personally demonstrate their assessment work to confirm aspects of competency not evidenced in class or through assessments. Results for this course are delivered and assessed in accordance with competency-based assessment are: CA: Competency Achieved NYC: Not Yet Competent DNS: Did not Submit for Assessment If you have a long term medical condition and/or disability it may be possible to negotiate to vary aspects of the learning or assessment methods.

Assessment Tasks
This course is assessed in accordance with competency-based assessment. To demonstrate competency in this course you will need to complete the following pieces of assessment to a satisfactory standard. You will receive feedback from the teacher at the conclusion of each assessment task. You should refer to the assessment brief which is available on MyRMIT for full assessment criteria
Assessment Task 1: The NAS Cushion Brief Due date: Friday 4th of August
This is an industry driven brief for New Academic Street RMIT City campus. Students are required to create printed designs in response to the Past, Present, Future theme. The selected designs will be used as cushions for the rocking chairs in NAS for the opening of the new space.
Assessment Task 2: Designing From the Everyday
The purpose of this brief is to develop a range of repeat systems using Photoshop and Illustrator. Inspiration will come from everyday, almost mundane sources, to be developed through shape distortion and motif development into a series of digital designs. The collection will be presented in a digital portfolio and incorporate two storyboard images to display the end use of the design.
Assessment Task 3: (Un)natural
This brief is intended to develop storyboard and presentation skills. Taking elements from nature, a cohesive range of designs will be developed through digital manipulation and then displayed in a way that shows the features of the design through the development of storyboards and visual tools. The final outcome will be a digital portfolio and verbal presentation of design concepts and processes.
