During finals week, no lesson will be taught for the face-to-face students, but I will be in the YETC to help any students with their portfolios, and to give feedback and answer questions. Be sure to go through each of your portfolio submissions and carefully check for each of the following:
- Make sure that each of your portfolio images are easy to see. They should be the major element on the page. As an example, please look at my portfolio exhibits. Redo any submissions you're not completely satisfied with, now that you've gone through the entire course. Trash any you don't like and replace it with something you're happy with. Just resubmit these to me - and update your portfolio with the new image and updated descriptions. I'll be using this rubric.
- Make sure that each exhibit description reflects your design thoughts relating to principles you've learned this semester, such as how you used contrast, repetition, alignment, proximity, color choice, typography, etc. Also, just briefly list the Photoshop skills you've employed creating each exhibit image. Make sure you've given credit to elements you've used that were not your own - provide a link to them if possible.
- You can look at the portfolio final project scoring rubric I'll be using to score your final project for the course. Here is the link to it. Use it to critically self-assess your portfolio! Remember, I'm looking at each of your submissions now based upon what was taught this semester - not what you had learned at the time you first submitted it.
- Look at the class portfolio page and double check your link. If your name doesn't appear on that page, please message me with your portfolio's URL. Be sure and do this before the deadline!
Remember the portfolio project must be completed by the due date above! You may complete it earlier if you wish.
