Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Assess the requirements of the brief
  • The printing requirements of the layout brief are determined for printing feasibility
  • The brief is broken down into stages of production in order to determine a plan of procedure
  • A plan of action is determined to meet the time requirements of each stage so that deadlines are identified and adhered to
  • Correct design and typographic terms are used to facilitate communication
       
Element: Assemble layout materials
  • Client copy and images are assembled to conform to the client brief
  • Library files are accessed for relevant data to conform to the brief
  • Appropriate equipment and materials to complete the layout are assembled to enable the brief to be undertaken efficiently
       
Element: Construct a simple graphic design
  • Client requirements are checked to ensure the design concept matches the brief
  • Preliminary graphic design ideas are sketched according to the brief
  • A simple graphic design concept is rendered electronically or manually to conform to the brief
  • The rendered graphic design is checked for conformance to the brief
       
Element: Produce finished artwork
  • A layout grid is ruled up according to the brief
  • Type selection, style and size are selected for the theme and readability and are fitted into the grid space allocated to conform to the brief
  • Originals and elements are selected, scaled and cropped appropriately to fit the grid space allocated
  • The components of the layout are positioned accurately using keylines to conform to the grid framework
  • Overlays/colour roughs are created to conform to the brief
       
Element: Check for suitability
  • The layout is checked to eliminate omissions and errors
  • The layout design is checked for conformance to the brief
  • Proofs are produced for hard copy checking
  • The layout is rendered ready to present to the client
       
Element: Tidy materials and store data
  • Equipment and materials are returned to storage according to enterprise procedures
  • Design data and materials are filed ready for future retrieval according to enterprise procedures
  • The design area is cleaned to enterprise procedures ready for re-use
       


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.

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Evidence of the ability to:

applying design principles when combining elements and colour to prepare artwork, both manually and electronically, to the satisfaction of the client

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

for valid and reliable assessment of this unit, evidence should be gathered over a period of time through a range of methods for assessment to indicate consistent performance

evidence for assessment may be gathered from assessment of the unit of competency alone or through an integrated assessment activity.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure:

assessment may take place on the job, off the job or a combination of these. Off the job assessment must be undertaken in a closely simulated workplace environment

access to appropriate equipment and materials.

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:

direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate.

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended.


Submission Requirements

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assignment, checklist) and due date here

Assessment task 1: [title]      Due date:

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)


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.

Required skills

OHS in relation to operating machinery such as safely switching off machinery before cleaning is started

communication of ideas and information by using correct terms to facilitate communication according to industry standards

collecting, analysing and organising information by producing and collecting elements according to the initial conceptual ideas

planning and organising activities by sequencing stages of the artwork to produce a design flow

teamwork when maintaining the production process in association with others

mathematical ideas and techniques by working within the layout constraints to the specifications of the brief

problem-solving skills by initiating quality checks against the brief as an ongoing process

use of technology by using the relevant equipment to produce artwork for screen printing

Required knowledge

considerations that are given to the layout

first stage of the production brief

function that would take up the most time

what does a thumbnail describe?

importance that would you place on detail in the first stage of the brief

type of equipment that may be used for the construction of the layout

name of the guides used in the design area

requirements that would be included in the brief

number of graphic design ideas are sketched or illustrated as preliminary ideas

additional constraints that can be included in the concept

purpose of ruling up a layout

limitations that are there with type selection on the chosen substrates

considerations that are given to elements to fit a given space

use of keylines when used as element identification

importance of identifying all colour(s) on the rough

techniques that are used to check for mistakes

checks of a proof that are made to conform to the brief

condition that materials should be stored

system of storage that is used for electronic data

materials that could be recycled

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Brief may include:

job specifications, work ticket.

Original may include:

line graphic or text.

Elements may include:

text, headings, rules, pictures, graphics, tints, vignettes components and shapes.

Proofs may include:

a printed sheet produced by electronic or manual means that represent the final product.

Substrates may include:

print medium that will hold an image.

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.
