Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

CPCCSG3003 - Colour manage signs

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Plan and prepare to manage colour.

  1. Job requirements are identified from drawings, specifications, instructions and client briefs, confirmed, and applied to planning and preparation.
  2. Colour matching system appropriate to the task is selected.
  3. Digital devices used in production of signs are identified and calibrated for colour accuracy and consistency using industry-recognised calibration software and techniques, and faults are identified and rectified or reported to relevant personnel before starting work.
  4. Colour profile appropriate to the task is identified and set up in industry-recognised software.
  5. Digital image is imported into software and converted to correct colour profile as necessary.
Job requirements are identified from drawings, specifications, instructions and client briefs, confirmed, and applied to planning and preparation.

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions.

1

Plan and prepare to manage colour.

1.1

Job requirements are identified from drawings, specifications, instructions and client briefs, confirmed, and applied to planning and preparation.

1.2

Colour matching system appropriate to the task is selected.

1.3

Digital devices used in production of signs are identified and calibrated for colour accuracy and consistency using industry-recognised calibration software and techniques, and faults are identified and rectified or reported to relevant personnel before starting work.

1.4

Colour profile appropriate to the task is identified and set up in industry-recognised software.

1.5

Digital image is imported into software and converted to correct colour profile as necessary.

2

Apply and modify colour.

2.1

Colour legibility is assessed against job requirements, and levels of contrast are adjusted and applied to sign design.

2.2

Colour scheme is determined and principles of colour harmony are applied to sign according to client requirements.

2.3

Test prints are produced and checked against job requirements.

2.4

Sign is colour corrected as required using software tools to ensure consistent application of colour.

3

Maintain colour management systems.

3.1

Colour management systems are routinely checked for accuracy and updated when necessary.

3.2

Digital devices used in sign production are routinely checked and recalibrated when necessary.

3.2

Digital devices used in sign production are routinely checked and recalibrated when necessary.

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must satisfy all of the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of this unit, and must accurately colour match three different digital signs using each of the following devices in the process:

computer monitor

digital press

printer

proofer

scanner.

A different colour matching system should be used on each of the three signs, selected from:

cyan, magenta, yellow and black (CMYK)

pantone matching system (PMS)

red, green and blue (RGB).

In doing the above work, the person must:

accurately calibrate devices to be used in sign production workflow

apply a colour matching system according to job requirements

adjust colour and contrast to ensure legibility as appropriate to the task

check and confirm colour consistency is achieved across each output device and rectify any fault in colour matching.

The person must then select three different colours from one of the digital signs and produce a colour match in paint for each colour.

A person demonstrating competency in this unit must demonstrate knowledge of:

uses, applications and limitations of a range of colour matching systems used in the manufacture of signs, including:

black and white

CMYK

grey scale

PMS

RGB

functionality and limitations of software used to apply and manage colour in the manufacture of signs

principles of colour legibility and the use of contrast

principles and application of colour harmony, including:

analogous

complementary

monochromatic

split complementary

uses, principles and applications of colour theory in sign manufacture.

Range Statement
