Unit of Competency ICPPRP283 - Prepare artwork for screen printing
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to prepare artwork for screen printing. It requires the individual to apply fundamental principles when combining elements and colour, and selecting appropriate type for manual and electronic design artwork.It applies to individuals working under direct supervision, who have some accountability for the quality of output and ensuring the production process is maintained.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.

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 industry software packages.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Assess brief requirements
  • Printing requirements of layout brief are determined for printing feasibility
  • Brief is broken down into stages of production to determine a plan of procedure
  • Plan of action is determined to meet time requirements of each stage so 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 layout are assembled to enable the brief to be undertaken efficiently
       
Element: Construct a simple graphic design
  • Client requirements are checked to ensure design concept matches the brief
  • Preliminary graphic design ideas are sketched according to the brief
  • Simple graphic design concept is rendered, electronically or manually, to conform to the brief
  • Rendered graphic design is checked for conformance to the brief
       
Element: Produce finished artwork
  • Layout grid is ruled up according to the brief
  • Type selection, style and size are selected for theme and readability and fitted into allocated grid space to conform to the brief
  • Originalsand elements are selected, scaled and cropped appropriately to fit the allocated grid space
  • Layout components are accurately positioned using keylines to conform to the grid framework
  • Overlays/colour roughs are created to conform to the brief
       
Element: Check for suitability
  • Layout is checked to eliminate omissions and errors
  • Layout design is checked for conformance to the brief
  • Proofsare produced for hardcopy checking
  • Layout is rendered ready for client presentation
       
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
  • Design area is cleaned to enterprise procedures ready for re-use
