Qualification -
Unit of Competency CUAILL401 - Develop and refine illustrative work
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to work with a brief to create illustrations through a process of testing design approaches and illustration techniques.It applies to illustrators who are still developing a full repertoire of professional skills and an individual style. They work with limited supervision and guidance as required. Illustrators may be employees or work on a freelance basis.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in creative arts industry environments. The assessment environment must include access to:

equipment, tools and materials used to produce illustrations

briefs on which to base illustrations

relevant information sources.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Interpret briefs for illustrative work
  • Interpret the specifications of illustration briefs
  • Discuss and clarify issues about specifications, parameters and constraints with relevant people as required
  • Evaluate client requirements to make decisions about style and content of illustrative work
  • Source and evaluate information pertinent to briefs
       
Element: Organise resources
  • Calculate, select and organise equipment, tools and materials based on the requirements of the work
  • Set up a safe and efficient workspace
  • 2.3 Prepare, maintain, store and dispose of all resources according to each item's needs and according to workplace procedures
       
Element: Test design approaches for illustrative work
  • Produce preliminary visual representations that take account of intellectual property requirements
  • Identify possible illustrative approaches and establish criteria, in line with the brief, for selecting final approach
  • Experiment with different illustrative techniques to test a range of approaches that will best communicate ideas required by the brief
  • Evaluate testing processes against criteria and select approach that best meets requirements of briefs
  • Critique own work for conceptual success and technical execution and seek feedback, as required
  • Refine and accurately document the illustrative approach based on testing processes
       
Element: Produce finished illustrative work
  • Create illustrations using techniques selected from experimentation and testing, considering and applying elements and principles of design
  • Review and refine ideas and approaches based on ongoing experience with production of own work
  • Seek and consider feedback from key people to refine illustrative work as required
  • Present finished work within agreed work parameters
       


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.

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

describe intellectual property requirements relevant to producing illustrations

describe the role of experimentation in developing and refining ideas for illustrations

explain how the elements and principles of design are used to inform illustrative work

list and briefly describe the resources required to produce illustrations, including key physical features, cleaning and maintenance techniques, and storage requirements

discuss typical workspace requirements for producing illustrations including ways of organising space and equipment for safe and efficient work operation

describe practices and procedures for working safely and sustainably with materials, tools and equipment for producing illustrations.

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.
