Upload your Projects to your ePortfolio.  

Upload your Sketchbook from this semester into the Sketchbook Category on this site.

TIPS:

Give your work a title.  Write brief descriptions of the artwork.  Your descriptions should include what you feel the aim of each artwork was, what you learned from making it, and what was challenging to do.  You may write other comments as well. For instance, you may ask questions for other students to answer.

Post to our class:

1. On this class site, go to Post located on the left 
2. Name your item in the subject line like this: Assignment 1, thumbnail drawings: “Figure Ground
3. Just above your title click on the Add Media icon (the blue icon that looks like a camera on top of a music note)
   Browse for your file > Click Insert
4. Click “assignment post” in the list of Categories on the right
5. Click Publish at the top right.

Your description should include what you have achieved and point to examples that demonstrate this. Feel free to include other thoughts as well.

Post to your ePortfolio: 

1. Go to Dashboard
2. New Page > Pages > Add New >

4. Choose “Academics” from the pull-down menu. In the Title area of your ePortfolio, be sure to write the name of our class (Graphic Design Principles ll can be shortened to GDP2)

   In settings, be sure to state either “Public” or “Private>visible to City Tech members.”  Otherwise, no one will be able to see what you’ve posted.

Take a photo:

1. Find a spot with even light so that you will have no shadows or strange light gradations across your image. 
2. Frame the drawing so there is a small even frame on all sides. 
3. Optimize the file, or reduce it to 72 dpi, with a file size no more than 1MB (about 8-9 inches on one side).
4. Rotate it if necessary to it uploads right-side-up.
   If you have access to any photo-correcting program, see if you can increase the contrast so that delicate drawing lines are visible.
