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:
|
Manipulate objects
|
|
Objects and text are manipulated and edited as required Completed |
Evidence:
|

Bitmaps are masked and/or an opacity mask is added Completed |
Evidence:
|
Layered file is exported to image editing program for editing Completed |
Evidence:
|
Develop variable templates
|
|
. Based on the design brief, objects are defined within the template as variables Completed |
Evidence:
|
Automated script or image server is used to ensure variations, using data stored in any Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) compliant source Completed |
Evidence:
|
Template variables are tested to ensure correct operation Completed |
Evidence:
|
Colour separate artwork
|
|
Correct colour separation format is determined by requirements of the pre-press workflow system Completed |
Evidence:
|
Command preferences are set correctly for print quality and process Completed |
Evidence:
|
Based on printer feedback, 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:
|
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:
|
Overlapping and overprint of objects are defined Completed |
Evidence:
|
Proof is created and separations checked, any required editing is completed and file is saved Completed |
Evidence:
|

|
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 meeting design requirements Completed |
Evidence:
|
Objects are layered to create animation frames and exported for animation set-up Completed |
Evidence:
|
Compression options are selected to keep image quality high and file size low Completed |
Evidence:
|
Export options are set for the final media and the file is saved and exported Completed |
