Save And Upload To Focus
-
All work will be turned in using FOCUS. I will be able to grade your work, count your work and give feedback on your work using Focus. In class, turn in work using the class InBox. Final Project folders will be numbered and titled. Make-Up work turned in past the due date will not be able to be uploaded in Focus. Use the class In Boxes
​
-
Grades will be entered within 1 or 2 weeks of turning in your project. Some projects will take one or two days for you to complete, some will take several weeks. Please be patient as grading is completed. Make-Up work or late work is graded at the discretion of the instructor.
​​
-
Work turned in late will receive one letter grade lower each day it is late. If it's more than 3 days late without instructor approval, absence, excused absence or extenuating circumstance, not turning in even one project can have a negative effect on your grade. Due Dates are very important in our industry and modeled in our class.

Saving Files
-
.PSD files preserve your layers, allowing you to come back and work on files with all your work preserved.
-
.JPEG files are compressed for display online. 300 resolution or better. Anything below is too blurry.
-
.PNG files are high quality and create a transparent background.
-
.AI files are Adobe Illustrator native
​
We have a class network to save your class work:
-
It allows you to keep work in class that you are working on. This file contains a folder for your class work. It is where you can keep your design work in class or move things into from your One Drive or your Flash Drive if you do work at home.​
