All About
PROCESS Images
1
Progress vs. Process
2
In-progress pics just shows the stages of a piece.
A process image includes a variety of photos that provide evidence of thinking and the evolution of your ideas.
A PROCESS Image shows MORE than in-progress pics
3
In-progress pics are NOT enough; you need to include much more!
X
Successful process images show your thinking through practice in your sketchbook, planning sketches, media experiments, research, original reference photos, and revisions.
*You can include a few in-progress pics but don’t add the finished piece in the process image.

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.
33
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
35
How 2 Make Process images from a Google slide:
You can also use an online program like Fotojet, Picmonkey, BeFunky, or Canva to create your collages
*AVOID WATERMARKS!
*Be sure to resize them when you’re finished! Maximum size: 780 x 530 pixels.
