Commentary Questions

Here is an image of the commentary questions. For Monday you need to type answers to these two questions in a word document and either bring your laptop to class to show me or email me your document. Do not worry about the character requirement at this point, i will help you edit your statements to make them concise and professional. Just get your ideas out on paper!

Requirements and Recommendations for Students' Digital Images:

All images must be submitted in JPEG format (file name extension .jpg) and RGB color mode. We recommend using files that are 72 pixels-per-inch (ppi) because a higher resolution does not add clarity when viewing images on a computer screen.

Recommended image sizes:

Landscape orientation:
  • Recommended maximum size: 530 x 780 pixels (7.36 x 10.83 inches)
  • Recommended minimum size: 480 x 480 pixels (6.67 x 6.67 inches)
Portrait orientation:
  • Recommended maximum size: 780 x 530 pixels (10.83 x 7.36 inches)
  • Recommended minimum size: 480 x 480 pixels (6.67 x 6.67 inches)

The image sizes above are recommendations. Students' image sizes may be different.

Maximum file size: Files cannot exceed 3.0 MB per image. (Students' image files will likely be considerably smaller than that.)

Free disk space:
  • Drawing and 2-D Design Portfolio: Based on the maximum file size of 3.0 MB and a total of 24 digital images per portfolio, each student needs a maximum of 72 MB of free disk space per portfolio.
  • 3-D Design Portfolio: Based on the maximum file size of 3.0 MB and a total of 38 digital images, each student needs a maximum of 114 MB of free disk space.
