SEMESTER 1

This study provides opportunities for students to undertake production activities often related to industrial and commercial practices in the wood or metal area. Students will develop practical skills and produce a design folio which may be used for assisting entry into design related tertiary courses. The student will work as a designer and will ultimately produce products for a client. Factors that influence the work of designers will be covered including environmental impact and sustainability.

Unit 1: Sustainable product redevelopmentThis unit focuses on the analysis, modification and improvement of a product design with consideration of sustainability.

Unit 2: Collaborative designIn this unit students work in teams to design and develop an item in a product range or contribute to the design, planning and production of a group product. They focus on factors including end-user/s’ needs and wants; function, purpose and context for product design; aesthetics; materials and sustainability; and the impact of these factors on a design solution.

Unit 3: Applying the Product design processStudents work through the design process with a client to produce an end product. Factors influencing design, environmental considerations and research will be covered. Different manufacturing settings and processes will be included. Folio work will begin and will be completed in Unit 4.

Unit 4: Product development and EvaluationWhilst continually working on practical work with a client, the student will develop skills in evaluation, comparison and suitability of textile products. Students will evaluate their own practical work, skills and products and will make judgements about possible improvements. The major folio will be completed.
