Deadline: By the end of the day on Monday, Dec. 9th.
Just a reminder that I need process PDFs for both your poster and your book. Please get these to me by the end of day on Monday, Dec. 9th. If I do not have them by then, they will not be considered in my grading.
PDF File Prep Conventions:
1. Please save all of your process in one combined multi-page PDF. You can do this in Adobe Acrobat Pro by going to File > Create > PDF > Combine Files Into a Single PDF. All pieces that you are importing into this combined file will either need to be PDFs or JPGs.
2. Please be sure your file is not huge. Let’s shoot for less than 10mb per PDF. You can reduce the file size in Adobe Acrobat via two way. Either by going to File > Save As > Reduced Size PDF (eliminates extra digital info in your file) or File > Save As > Optimized PDF (allows you to reduce the resolution of images embedded in the file).
3. Please make sure your name is in the file name. Recommended file naming structure (replace my name with yours, of course):
RJones_poster_process.pdf
RJones_book_process.pdf
What goes in the Process PDFs:
Poster PDF:
– Inspiration Board (single collaged page of design that inspired your concepts)
– Thumbnail Sketches (minimum of 30 were required)
– Rough Concepts (minimum of 3 different concepts were required)
– Final Poster Design
Book PDF:
– Grid Sketches (3 grid concepts for 3 different spread templates)
– Roughs of Book Cover
– Final PDF of Book Cover
– (I should already have the PDF of your book insides from presentation)
How to get them to me:
Any of these ways will suffice:
– Dropbox: I will be sending out an invite from my dropbox folder shortly. To upload into this box, you will need to set up a free dropbox account. Alternatively, if you have issues with allowed file space, you can set up your own folder in your free dropbox space, then click on the “shared link” icon and put in my email address.
– We Transfer: will send me a link to download your files.
– Email me at rjones84@jccc.edu, if you file is smaller than 5 mb.
