Also, by 7 p.m. Sunday, please email me links to three photos: one which you think is a strong news photo, one which you think is a poor news photo and one that you have a question about. Please give me a sentence on why you chose each image.

And welcome to the class, it's going to be a fun ride.

ASSIGNMENT: Final Portfolio

DUE: Monday, December 15, 5:00:oo p.m. No portfolios will be accepted late.


The Final Portfolio consists of 10 images you've shot this semester and your multimedia story. High resolution JPGs and the multimedia story must be on a CD. Additionally, you need to print out your 10 single images and attach captions.

Place the CD and printouts in a manila envelope with your name and section (morning/afternoon) on it. This will be turned in to either myself or one of the lab assistants. You must turn in your camera kit with your portfolio. We will have sheets with all of your names on them - make sure you and whoever checks in your portfolio initial the sheet.

To print your captions, under File in Photoshop, go to Print with Preview. If your images is a horizontal, check "Scale to Fit Media." If it's a vertical, uncheck that box and set the height to 7 inches. In the lower area, under "Output," check the "Description" box and that will place your caption below your image. If this causes problems, copy and paste your caption into a word processing document, print, then cut and tape it to the laser print.
