Required Skills
Required skills: literacy skills sufficient to interpret a brief and to communicate ideas for illustrative work numeracy skills sufficient to calculate quantities, costs, layout issues. |
Required knowledge: techniques, materials, tools and equipment and their application to illustrative work types of briefs for illustrative work formal elements and principles of design in relation to illustrative work general knowledge about illustrators, their ideas, techniques and work |
history and theory of design in relation to illustrative work copyright, moral rights and intellectual property issues and legislation and their relevance to illustrative work. |
Evidence Required
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. | |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit in this unit | The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit: production of illustrative work which demonstrates the application of selected techniques and which is consistent with the requirements of the brief. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | The assessment context must provide for: practical demonstration of skills through the production of illustrative work to meet the requirements of a brief. |
Method of assessment | Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include: evaluation of illustrative work produced by the candidate questioning and discussion review of portfolios of evidence third party workplace reports of performance by the candidate. Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands (e.g. literacy) and the needs of particular groups (e.g. people with disabilities, and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties such as speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling). |
Assessment of this unit requires access to the materials, resources and equipment needed to safely produce illustrative work. |
Range Statement
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. | |
