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!

Solve technical photographic problems

  1. Technical problems relevant to tone and reproduction of photographic images are resolved by reassessing elements for photography, camera operations or brief amendment in consultation with client
  2. Images are photographed with potential to be reproduced according to the brief

Evidence of the ability to:

correctly use a graphic arts camera to photograph and process at least THREE continuous tone originals with different contrast characteristics according to the specific job requirements.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

describe how halftone images are varied to suit different printing processes

describe main characteristics of a halftone image and factors that influence selection of highlight and shadow points (first and last printing tones)

outline process of overcoming problems associated with reproduction of screened copy

describe method of calibrating densitometer and copy measurement

outline preparation of a basic exposure program and factors that influence basic exposure data

describe process for applying exposure data to selected copy and factors that could cause a change of exposure, including use of a grey scale to assist in exposure control

outline criteria for evaluation of a halftone image and affect a change to processing conditions may have on the final result

describe image requirements for various printing processes

outline evaluation criteria for a duotone

identify manuals, safety and other documentation relevant to this task, where are they kept and information included in these documents.
