JPEG (JPG)

Editable source, final JPEG, dimension calculation, export notes, and, for physical production, an accepted proof record.

An assessment package should include the editable source or source identifier, final exported JPEG, template placement, effective-size calculation, export settings or notes, independent file inspection, and any proof decision. If actual production is not part of the activity, label the proof step simulated rather than implying machine testing occurred.

Evidence should be inspectable by someone other than the learner. Save the source identifier, final JPEG, template preview, size calculation, profile and background decisions, and a brief export record. If a physical proof is part of the assessment, include its accepted result and production context. If not, mark that stage as untested rather than treating a digital mockup as proof.

Review the artifacts against the stated scenario and ask the learner to explain each format and workflow decision.

Assess with a scenario and observable artifacts rather than a self-reported confidence score. The reviewer checks the format choice, calculations, crop, exported file, and explanation of uncertainties. A learner can retry with a revised derivative, while the earlier version remains available for comparison.

Use a rubric with visible pass criteria before the exercise begins. Let the learner revise an export after feedback, then compare the corrected result with the earlier one. Some checks can be automated, such as pixels and filename, but crop quality and handoff suitability need contextual review. Do not award machine mastery based solely on a JPEG knowledge quiz.

Correct format choice, source preservation, usable size, artifact control, profile awareness, template fit, and transparent documentation of unresolved constraints.

Assess not only whether the output looks good but whether the decision is reproducible. The learner should state which source, export, template, software version, and proof were used, and what remains unverified.

Use a rubric with separate checks for correct format choice, product adaptation, source preservation, technical export, maker handoff, and honest uncertainty. A visually attractive JPEG that lacks a required cut path fails the chosen production scenario. An image with perfect metadata but a clipped subject fails the design scenario. Both technical and visual evidence matter.
