A process image includes a variety of photos that provide evidence of thinking and the evolution of your ideas.

Today’s Assignment:

Cropping sketchbook pics:

The image on the right is an example of figure studies in the student’s sketchbook that they used as a single process image.

I recommend leaving the spiral binding of the sketchbook in the photo because having “sketchbook habit” is a good thing.

Uploading Process Images to the Submission Portal:

On the Portfolio Submission Portal, the process image goes BEFORE the finished work. You might not use them all, but you should make at least 1 process image for each SI.

34

Here are step-by-step instructions / video

  1. Insert the images you want to use on your “MY PROCESS images” slide.
  2. Adjust photo sizes and spacing
  3. Choose a background color that compliments the work (or leave white)
  4. Add text (optional)
  5. Download the slide as a jpeg image (file - download - jpeg)
  6. Once it is downloaded as a jpeg, crop and resize it, then save it to your Process Images google folder.
