Use sketching, drafting, modelling and visual planning techniques to generate and refine design concepts

Use drawing conventions and visual representations to communicate concept development, interaction pathways and transitions

Create physical, digital or simulated prototypes, mock-ups and motion studies to explore and test design concepts

Use stakeholder, client and user feedback to guide iterative design refinement

Document design thinking including annotated sketches and visual drafts

Evaluate design concepts based on audience needs, communication goals, functional requirements and production constraints

Investigate drawing types, visualisation tools and visual communication methods to support design development and communicate intent from early concepts to final presentations

Explain the characteristics and requirements of selected media, components and systems that influence design decisions and production processes

Select tools, technologies and production methods aligned to project requirements and intended outcomes

Record key production stages including planned processes and available resources

Assess project feasibility aligned to budget and costing considerations

Create technical and visual documentation to guide production workflows and final outputs

Identify digital, ergonomic and workflow risks that influence project feasibility and production

Identify planning strategies to manage time constraints, production deadlines and milestones

Describe stages of the production process

Document design decisions, production processes, adjustments and evaluation records from concept to completion

Apply problem-solving strategies to refine processes, materials and techniques

Use documented project intent and criteria for success to guide design refinements during project development

Evaluate project outcomes against functional performance, user needs and defined success criteria

Document modifications made during production related to planning, project intent and work health and safety (WHS) considerations
