Due at the beginning of the last day of class:
Any and all equipment that you have signed out is due back at beginning of class. If you forget you will be asked to leave class to go get it. Your portfolio will not be accepted if you have equipment signed out.
Your final portfolio is due by the end of the last class.
There can be no exceptions and no portfolios can be accepted later than this deadline.
The final portfolio must include:
b&w projects: all contact sheets [well crafted - no duplicates]
color projects: a CD with all high res files of your final portfolio [the files your printed]
- check in our Macs to make sure the CD works okay
50 well crafted work-prints [no duplicates]
20 final prints [edit your work down to your 20 best only]
a project statement – one or two paragraphs with a project title
[this statement can be anything that describes and informs a viewer about your final project – you decide what is important for the viewer to know about the work and write that out]
each print needs to be numbered 1-20 in the order you want them viewed in. They must be numbered and you must figure out a best order to view the work in [use pencil only] You have a responsibility to lay them out somewhere, move them around and come up with an order.
your name must be on the rear of each piece [in pencil only]
Journal – including project outline, log of shooting, other entries about work, entries about 50 photographers from union.edu/photo
Labeling your portfolio
Your name needs to be on your portfolio and on the rear of each individual photograph.
Turning it in (by the last minute of the last photo class of the last day of classes).
Leave your portfolio on the table labeled Photo 3 in the photo classroom. Also, please clean out your locker as your leave. Leave your combination lock in the locker and please put a piece of tape [in mounting room] with the combination written CLEARLY on the lock.
You will be informed when your portfolio has been graded and is ready for pick up.
After your portfolios are reviewed they will be available in the film processing room for pick-up during finals week. They may be available early in the week, and if they are you will receive an email that they are ready for pick up. Please do not call or email to inquire, you will be the first to know when they can be picked up. Grading will be completed after graduation – please do not call or email inquiring about a grade. You will receive your grade from the registrar.
*YOU CANNOT LEAVE YOUR PORTFOLIOS OVER THE SUMMER. They will be discarded if they are not picked up by graduation. If you are leaving before they are ready for pickup, you must arrange for someone to pick it up for you.
