- apply and manage the specialised photo finishing process for at least two different pieces of work.
In the course of the above, the candidate must:
- use information and exploration to identify finishing choices and determine finishing requirements
- produce finished works that are technically sound and free from faults arising from the finishing process
- use tools, materials and equipment independently and according to safety requirements
- document detailed work processes
- consider intellectual property requirements in the development of work ideas
- review finishing processes and work quality.
Knowledge Evidence
The candidate must be able to demonstrate knowledge to complete the tasks outlined in the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of this unit, including knowledge of:
- impact of historical, contemporary and emerging trends in specialised finishing
- properties of, and specifications for, different specialised finishing materials, tools, equipment and accessories
- typical problems that occur in the specialised finishing process, and how to avoid or resolve them
- how characteristics of different materials achieve different effects when finishing techniques are applied
- cost and supply parameters for specialised finishing materials, tools, equipment and accessories in the context of professional practice
- sustainability issues associated with the materials, tools, equipment and accessories used in specialised finishing
- intellectual property requirements and legislation associated with the use of research or adapted concepts in creative work
- organisational and legislative work health and safety requirements relating to specialised finishing activities.
Assessment Conditions
Skills in this unit must be demonstrated in a workplace or simulated environment where the conditions are typical of those in a working environment in this industry.
This includes access to:
- applicable information about finishing processes, materials and equipment
