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!

  2. Device profiles created during calibration are correctly used and stored
  3. Digital devices are checked regularly to ensure they are still within calibration
  4. Profiles or equipment parameters are adjusted to bring devices back into calibration, when required
  5. Records are stored to ensure calibration occurs regularly

Use colour profiles

  1. Source and destination profiles are identified within the workflow
  2. Profiles are used to ensure colour on monitors, proofs and final product match as closely as possible
  3. Images are converted to correct profile if incorrect profile is embedded
  4. Correct rendering intent is used to ensure accurate colour conversion
