Week 5; Preparing Work For Output

This weeks lecture was discussing how professionals and how we should prepare our work for output. I found this lecture very helpful as I was then able to prepare all my previous work in Visual Design so that it would be ready for print. There are lots of specifications that should be met before output so as making sure there is a 3 mm bleed and that the colours are CMYK so that they are able to be printed. Professionally, there are forms that need to be completed before the projects are printed and he two forms are a verification and validation form. A verification form is created for a client and the designer as the designer needs the customer to sign off on their work before printing can commence, such as spelling and the payment. A validation form is written for the designer and the printer, as the printer needs the designer to fulfill all the specifications on their checklist such as the bleed and colours. This weeks DS was based on this as we had to create both a verification form and validation form that was specific.
