The work

The work

The tasks come from O*NET (United States) and ESCO (Europe), the world's two occupation databases. How the work is done can differ in Uganda; our team adds the local way where it does.

  1. 1

    Use materials such as pens and ink, watercolors, charcoal, oil, or computer software to create artwork.

  2. 2

    Integrate and develop visual elements, such as line, space, mass, colour, and perspective, to produce desired effects, such as the illustration of ideas, emotions, or moods.

  3. 3

    Confer with clients, editors, writers, art directors, and other interested parties regarding the nature and content of artwork to be produced.
