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!

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

Work with digital imaging

  1. Use the correct terminology for digital imaging within a specified context
  2. Use a range of graphic file formats, file management and transfer systems for storing, arriving, importing, exporting and transferring digital images as electronic files

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

Underpinning skills and knowledge

Assessment must include evidence of essential knowledge of, and skills in the following areas:

understand the creative elements of a production

application of different graphic design methods

graphic design conventions

graphic and stylistic language and conventions

collecting and interpreting creative information, scripts (text) and images

visualisation and interpreting creative information, scripts (text) and images

visualisation and interpretation of creative concepts

information management

copyright laws, regulations and clearance procedures

the principles of digital imaging

file formats, file management and transfer systems

principles of 2D multimedia graphic design

presentation techniques

Linkages to other units

This unit has linkages to the following units and combined training delivery and/or assessment is recommended:

CUFMEM07A Apply principles of visual design/communication to the development of a multimedia project

CUFIMA01A Produce and manipulate digital images

Critical aspects of evidence

This unit of competence applies to a range of industry sectors. The focus of assessment will depend on the industry sector. Assessment must be customised to meet the needs of the particular sector in which performance is being assessed. Assessment should only address those variable circumstances, listed in the range of variables statements, which apply to the chosen context.

The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit:

produce two different multimedia sequences incorporating 2D graphics according the job specifications and the listed performance criteria

knowledge and application of a range of 2D graphic production methods and equipment

Method and context of assessment

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

Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include:

practical demonstration (direct observation may need to occur on more than one occasion to establish consistency of performance)

role play

case studies

work samples or simulated workplace activities

oral questioning/interview aimed at the evaluating the process used in developing and realising the creative concept

projects/reports/logbooks

third party reports and authenticated prior achievements

portfolios of evidence which demonstrate the processes used in developing and realising the creative concept

Resource requirements

Assessment requires access to a range of resources and equipment currently used by the multimedia industry.
