Work sample summary
This sample shows the development of the early sections of the design process for a kimono and obi belt. The
student excerpt has gathered information about the client needs. This is followed by a number of short comments
about the main design influences. Several simple drawings with brief notes are presented as concepts for both the
kimono and obi belt. Simple drawings for the final designs of both garments are presented. A limited, very brief
production plan is evident. Evaluation statements are presented for the design and production processes, followed
by a final product evaluation.
Stage 2
Grade descriptions
Design
Uses a clearly identifiable design process but
requires guidance to devise and generate
individual ideas and develop solutions for
others. Documentation displays clear design
progression, using concept sketches that are
annotated with appropriate terminology, which
show the development of several ideas.
Evidence of investigation into design
considerations: function, cost, safety,
aesthetics, demand, environmental factors and
ergonomics. Folio contains fully-developed,
dimensioned working drawings including the
use of 2D and 3D CAD where applicable in
context. Provides an explanation of materials
against the design considerations, a sequence
of manufacture, an evaluation of project
processes and the end product against the
functional, aesthetic and ergonomic
requirements of the design criteria.

Grade evidence in work sample
Outlines client’s needs and beliefs and records body
measurements. Materials are researched (due to copyright
restrictions the images are not provided in this work sample).
Simple, rapid concept drawings with little notation are created
to develop the gown, and separate drawings are use for the obi
belt. Three short statements are provided as a final justification,
and a production plan is developed. Short statements are
presented and provide a limited evaluation of the issues with
the production. The final evaluation is too brief.

statement
accompanied by body
measurements and
the details of a
commercial pattern.
Presents brief
comments about
aesthetics, colour,
appearance and
function.
The characteristics of
the chosen material
are discussed based
on client needs.
Simple comments are
made about the
material’s texture and
its fire safety.
Some brief mention of
historical and cultural
influences are
included.
Very few comments
are made about fabric
patterns or colour
combinations.
Presents rapid
concept sketches with
simple notations.

Uses a simple
storyboard to display
the design for the obi

storyboard had no
additional notes,
description of the
pattern or details of
the design.

Refers to the ongoing
evaluation of the
production process,
including a comment
about the time
needed.
Statements do not
critically evaluate the
progress to date.
Picks up errors in the
length of the material
and comments on the
actions taken to
resolve the problem,
with reference to the
time required.
Provides a summary
evaluation of the
design process,
however, with little
reference to the
elements of design or
the needs of the
client.
Presents clear
photographs of the
front and back
showing the kimono
and obi belt.
Produces brief
comments on the
pattern and colour
without a detailed
justification of the
choice of pattern or
materials.
