You will be handing in a digital file of all your assignments. Finishes only not your sketches. This is along with the original artwork you bring in and place up on the wall at crits. You are submitting 2 scans of each assignment, a hi-res and a lo-res. Your low-resolution files should be derived from your original hi resolution file. When you’ve finished your scan (color corrected, etc.) burn your images onto a CD and make sure you test the disk to make sure it works. On the CD please print please your full name and email address in permanent marker. Place your cd in a case or envelope and hand it in to me. Below are the specs for your scans:
The hi-res image:
- RGB
- Tiff
- Flattened-NO LAYERS, all type should be rasterized (converted to art and flattened)
- 350 dpi
- Dimensions of the scan should be the same size as your original piece. ex. A 24″ X 36″ painting = a 24″ X 36″ digital image
- 8-bit , 16-bit
In photoshop go up to thge menu, select “File” -and select “File info”. You will get a dialogue box that looks like this:
Space
Fill in Your name, the title of the piece or what assignment it was for, my name, the semester, and the class and your e-mail or some kind of contact info.
Jane Doe, “I Hate Squid”, pen, ink and collage, 10″ x 16″, Sept. 2010, Les Kanturek, instructor, Soph. Concepts”
The Lo-res image:
- RGB
- Tiff
- Flattened-NO LAYERS, all type should be rasterized (converted to art and flattened)
- 72 dpi
- Dimensions of the scan should be the same size as your original piece. ex. A 24″ X 36″ painting = a 24″ X 36″ digital image
- 8-bit
File Naming
Label the actual tiff as follows:
last name_first name_HWTitle_lr_Les.jpg (ex: smith_john_POVSquid_lr_Les.tiff)
The “lr” stands for “low-res”- hr- “high-res”
Do not put “untitled” for your work, if it does not have a title then use the name of the assignment or a short descriptive name (i.e. “Invisible Man”).
You should archive all of your art and have a digital copy of everything you do.
