Achievement

Apply conventions to develop a design for a digital technologies outcome

This involves you:You can show this by:
describing the purpose of the outcome
describing the requirements of the end users
investigating and applying relevant conventions
generating a range of design ideas
model a range of design ideas
selecting a design for the purpose of the outcome and explaining the appropriateness of the design
explaining relevant implicationsYou can find more information on relevant implications here.
You must choose implications that are relevant to the outcome you are designing.

Examples of conventions include:

ConventionExample / Explanation
usability heuristicsUser interface design, error prevention
visual hierarchyfont sizes, top to bottom flow
film genre conventionsframe rate, resolution
relevant composition methodscontrast, repetition, alignment, proximity, placement, colour
schematic diagram conventionsblueprints, data flow diagrams, hardware layout diagrams
system block diagrams
circuit schematics with component symbolselectronic circuits
scale drawings of enclosures
naming conventions and naming schemesfile management
object-relationship mapping and data modelling

Achievement with Merit

Apply conventions to develop an informed design for a digital technologies outcome

This involves you:You can show this by:
using feedback gained from modelling to improve the design
explaining how the chosen design uses appropriate conventions
addressing relevant implications and end-user considerationsYou can find more information on relevant implications here.
You must choose implications that are relevant to the outcome you are designing.

Achievement with Excellence

Apply conventions to develop a refined design for a digital technologies outcome

This involves you:You can show this by:
justifying how the chosen design addresses implications
justifying how the chosen design addresses end-user considerations
justifying how the chosen design uses appropriate conventions
