Folio, Card, Resume Hand In

On or before Friday April 21 at noon, students need to submit all of the following portfolio items:
  1. physical portfolio; the instructor needs the physical folio for grading, but will return it next week, beginning on Apr. 26
  2. 3-5 printed business cards that are kept in the VCOM archives
  3. 3-5 printed resumes that are kept in the VCOM archives

  6. PDFs of business cards and resumes
  7. PDFs of folio as spreads
  8. PDFs of folio as pages
PDFs go onto Turnstile2 in our VCOM-578 folder. All PDFs must be submitted for High Quality Print:

    File > Adobe PDF Presets > High Quality Print
    needed in two separate files, two separate formats: 
  • once as spreads saved as lastname-folio-spreads.pdf
  • and then single pages saved as lastname-folio-pages.pdf
  • spread control is in the PDF export dialog

DONORS, PARTNERS THANK YOUS

During our Monday April 24 class from 8:00 a.m. to 10:45 a.m., all students will sign posters and thank you cards for our donors. I will have pens/markers on hand, as well as posters and card.

Folio Presentations

Students will work in pairs on Wednesday's class, presenting all of their work from their portfolio, one by one, to their peer. This is part of the graded class participation, and factors into the 50 points you can earn in that category for the semester.
  • Illustrators and Designers: PDF portfolio will be okay, but your book portfolio, the printed one, would be best
  • DIFD: use your web folio, and also your printed leave-behind if you have it on hand
See the class syllabus for point values and maximum points for the semester.
