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!

Evidence:
|
Tasks are automated wherever possible and where necessary scripts are used for automation Completed |
Evidence:
|
Manipulate objects
|
|

Evidence:
|
Develop variable templates
|
|
Based on the design brief, objects are defined within the template as variables Completed |
Evidence:
|
An automated script or an image server is used to ensure variations, using data stored in any ODBC-compliant source Completed |
Evidence:
|
The template variables are tested to ensure correct operation Completed |
Evidence:
|
Colour separate artwork
|
|
The correct format for the colour separation is determined by the requirements of the pre-press workflow system Completed |
Evidence:
|
Command preferences are set to correct preferences for print quality and process Completed |
Evidence:
|
Based on printer feedback the colour separation options are set according to print requirements of the design brief Completed |
Evidence:
|
Process and spot colours are combined if required Completed |
Evidence:
|
A screen frequency value appropriate for the print quality is selected and colour separation preferences are saved Completed |
Evidence:
|
Spreads and chokes traps are created to avoid mis-registration Completed |
Evidence:
|
The overlapping and overprint of objects are defined Completed |
Evidence:
|
A proof is created and the separations checked, any required editing is completed and the file is saved Completed |
Evidence:
|
Prepare for final media
|
|
Metadata tags are embedded to catalogue, organise and retrieve artwork Completed |
Evidence:
|
For cross-media publishing purposes web-safe colours are selected Completed |
Evidence:
|
File formats are chosen to best represent artwork styles Completed |
Evidence:
|
Objects are linked to create an image map that meets design requirements Completed |
Evidence:
|
Objects are layered to create animation frames and exported for animation set up Completed |
Evidence:
|
Compression options are selected that keep the image quality high and the file size low Completed |
Evidence:
|
Export options are set to the best settings for the final media and the file is saved and exported Completed |
