- Create and edit vector paths, outlines, offset paths, and cut contours for production.
- Prepare files with appropriate cut lines, fold lines, scoring lines, and assembly guides.
- Understand the difference between print layers, cut lines, score lines, and fold lines.
- Ensure files are correctly sized and organized for printing and cutting equipment.

2. Event & Wedding Design

- Create attractive dance floor wraps, backdrops, foam board displays, props, and custom event graphics.
- Recreate or adapt designs from inspiration pictures,

- Demonstrate a strong sense of design, layout, typography, font pairing, spacing, colour combinations, and visual balance.
- Customize fonts, text layouts, and graphic elements to suit each project and client requirement.

3. 2D-to-3D Print Production

- Prepare 2D artwork that can be printed and assembled into three-dimensional displays and props.
- Design individual panels, side strips, tabs, folds, and other components required to create a 3D effect.
- Incorporate appropriate fold lines, scoring lines, and cut lines to make assembly easier and more accurate.
- Understand how flat printed pieces fit together to create dimensional displays, structures, and event props.

4. Daily Design Production

- Complete approximately 40–50 print-and-cut files per day, depending on complexity.
- Work quickly and efficiently while maintaining accuracy and consistent quality.
- Manage multiple projects and prioritize urgent orders.
- Make revisions, correct artwork, resize designs, and prepare files according to production requirements.
- Communicate with the print production team to ensure designs are practical and ready for manufacturing.
