Application

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to compose pages according to a client design brief, using a high-end application.

It applies to skilled individuals who design and prepare layouts and artwork, manipulate images and text, and apply solutions to a defined range of problems. They may also provide leadership and guidance to others, with limited responsibility for the output of others.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Elements and Performance Criteria

ELEMENT	PERFORMANCE CRITERIA
Elements describe the essential outcomes.	Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.
1. Confirm client design brief	1.1 Details of client design brief are reviewed and clarified with client or supervisor 1.2 Type of document is determined and production requirements are assessed 1.3 Client copy and images are assembled to conform to design brief 1.4 Library files are accessed for relevant data to conform to design brief
2. Set up document	2.1 Master page for multiple pages and with multiple columns is set up 2.2 Required text is prepared and formatted and appropriate fonts and size are selected 2.3 Master pages, templates and style sheets, as appropriate, are used consistently to ensure data is the same after exchange or transfer 2.4 Text boxes and columns are correctly linked for text flow, and chapter heading hierarchies are selected 2.5 Colour palettes are set up according to design brief 2.6 Document set-up is completed to conform to requirements of the final media and design brief
3. Arrange elements on page	3.1 Imported text or data from other applications is correctly formatted and any cross-application formatting issues are resolved 3.2 Elements are created and arranged on page to conform to design brief 3.3 Graphics and other elements are imported from other applications and correctly formatted and arranged 3.4 Elements are arranged in layers according to design brief
