(14-04) Prepare to Submit Your Final Portfolio
|
Your class final portfolio is due by April 29, 2019! You will share a portfolio you've created that has ten exhibits you have taken time to create this semester, revise them as you've learned new skills, are exhibits that you feel proud of, and that demonstrate what you've been able to learn and accomplish in this course. Below is a checklist to go through before submitting your final project.
1. Your portfolio needs to begin with a photo of you and a brief bio - not your life story, but an introduction to you and what your portfolio is about. Mine is at the right... 2. It must contain 10 exhibits that demonstrate what you've learned this semester. Additionally, you may add up to two extra credit exhibits for a total of 12. The extra credit exhibits are not required - they're optional. You should carefully reevaluate and rework any earlier submissions to bring them up to par with your newly learned skills. Each of the exhibits must contain the following...

At right is an exhibit from my portfolio. You can click it to see the original page. Your portfolio exhibits don't need to match my design, but it must contain the 6 elements I've labeled in mine...
1. The exhibit image - make it the main message - big, clear, easy to see. 2. The exhibit title - please clearly label which exhibit it is that I'm grading. It's important that there not be any confusion here! 3. Photoshop skills used. Please bullet-point the Photoshop skills I'm grading you for. You can go into more detail if you wish, but be clear about what I'm evaluating you on. 4. Design thoughts. Again, a bullet-point list will do. This is what I'll look at most critically in your description. Why did you design your exhibit the way you did? What were your design thoughts? How did you use any of the design principles, gestalt principles, typography principles, color theory, etc., that you've learned? 5. If you used any stock images, fonts, etc., that weren't your own, you must document (cite) them here. Where did your sources come from? 6. OPTIONAL: Sometimes a screenshot can explain things better that text. Feel free to add a screenshot or two if that helps with the description of Photoshop skills, or design thoughts. As you pull your portfolio together, be sure to double check that everything works the way you've designed it. Is everything that is linked work? Do images pop up larger if you click them (if you've set that up)? Finally, your portfolio should contain a way to contact you. I put my contact information on my home page with my photo and bio.

When you've got everything in place then make sure my portfolio link to your page is correct and working properly. Once you have everything looking professional and working properly, message me in Canvas and I'll go through and score it.
Then you're done with the course! And you have gained some great Photoshop skills, and design knowledge! Not only has it been great to have you in the course, but it has been a real pleasure to meet and get to know you! I wish you the very best!
