.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.
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.
