Photograph a line image

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to undertake graphic arts camera work, including preparing a camera and equipment to photograph a line image that meets design and production quality standards.

It applies to individuals who design and prepare layouts and artwork, and manipulate images and texts to meet production requirements, and who generally work under direct supervision.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)


Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

ELEMENT

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1 Prepare camera

1.1 Camera is prepared to ensure appropriate size and focus for the job

1.2 Correct exposure for line reproduction is established according to manufacturer’s specifications

2 Prepare and operate processor

2.1 Processor is prepared to ensure correct chemical balance, temperature and maintenance

2.2 Processor is operated in line with established procedures

3 Operate camera

3.1 Appropriate photographic material and processing chemical combination is selected for line image

3.2 Line images are photographed using correct camera settings

3.3 Quality of photographic outputis evaluated to ensure suitability for design purpose and final media or reproduction process

Evidence of the ability to:

prepare, set up and use a graphic arts camera to photograph and process TWO different line originals according to listed performance criteria

evaluate quality of photographic output to ensure suitability for design purpose and final media or reproduction process

ensure underlying quality of photographic images is transferable across different camera designs and processing systems; identifying the substrate for reproduction, and quality of photographic image, is suitable for the identified printing process

demonstrate an ability to find and use task relevant information from a variety of information sources.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

describe effect of different printing processes on line images

perform enlargement factor calculation

identify base exposure data

identify factors that cause base exposure to change

correctly process an image

identify factors that control quality of output through the processor

explain copy characteristics that require a change to base exposure

explain relationship between magnification and exposure

list characteristics of a correctly exposed line negative

outline image requirements for various printing processes

list work health and safety (WHS) requirement for operating a processor

explain how to maintain consistent output from the processor

list manuals, safety and other documentation relevant to this task and identify where are they kept and what information is included.

Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the Pre-Press field of work and include access to special purpose tools, equipment and materials.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.

Submission Requirements

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
