Final Portfolio

The Final Portfolio consists of 20 images. All twenty should be in included reduced-size jpeg form, while ten of those should be printed and tastefully presented. Consider a portfolio book, matting, or even a blurb/apple book. If a digital blurb/apple book, please include all 20 images.

The images can be pulled from any of the project or assignments from the class, but should represent your very strongest work. (I would hesitate including goofy-face images). Most likely, it will consist of work from your projects, as these are more refined, but strong exercise images should also be considered.

Edit carefully. Do ask classmates and faculty for advice/feedback.

Due Dates:

All digital files (4/25)
Inkjet print portfolio option (4/25)
Apple/Blurb book portfolio option (5/2)
