Course Description
This course builds upon and extends the skills established in Design and Development 1. You will begin to make individual choices based upon fabric performance and suitability for a target market. You will also extend your appreciation of the importance of clear and accurate communication between the design and manufacturing processes.
Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development
In this course you will develop the following program learning outcomes:
1. Apply and creatively adapt a body of theoretical and technical knowledge and skills in fashion design and technology to your practice or future study
2. Recogize and apply relevant technologies in the fashion design and production sector of the industry
3. lnvestigate and work creatively to solve fashion design and production related problems
5. Identify, analyse and reflect on fashion technology in a local and/or global context
Upon successful completion of this course you will be able to:
1. Interpret and analyse information to create specifications on the handling and performance characteristics of fabrics and trims.
2. Investigate different garment construction techniques to solve garment design problems.
3. Apply your theoretical knowledge of garment construction to produce specifications to support garment development process
4. Develop and produce garments to reflect sampling and quality requirements of the specifications and target market.
5. Seek, evaluate and incorporate feedback for your own work.
Overview of Learning Activities
You will be engaged in learning that involves a range of class activities such as practical exercises, group and class discussion, group activities/projects and self-directed learning.
All practical experience is conducted according to industry standards. Workshop activities include: development of garments, finishing and development of supporting technical information.
Overview of Learning Resources
RMIT will provide you with resources and tools for learning in this course through our online systems.
A list of recommended learning resources will be provided by your lecturer, including books, journal articles and web resources. You will also be expected to seek further resources relevant to the focus of your own learning.
