2.1.Understand an integrated, reflective process for responding to visual situations
- Discuss, identify and evaluate the issues within the project brief
- Research, analyse and incorporate negotiated criteria for self-directed contracts
- Integrate acquired practical, communication and analytical skills in the process of responding to visual situations.
- Individualise a self-critical working process for developing and refining ideas
- show evidence of drawing together and applying skills and knowledge acquired in previous and concurrent courses to selected projects
-adopt independent and interdependent design processes
2.2.Acquire knowledge in designing a project brief that explores a specialist area of contemporary fashion concepts
