Read these instructions first, then follow this link at the bottom of this page to the actual template. The template will help you create one of your portfolio entries. Your “Process Piece” must include both a final product and evidence of the process used to create your final piece. Your evidence could include a variety of things including drawings, sketchbook entries, scripts, storyboards, mock-ups, research notes and images, contact sheets, mood boards, etc. For students submitting Graphic Design, Photography, Fine Art, Etc: All images must be embedded (inserted) into the PDF you submit. (Do not link to image files, other documents, or web addresses). Reviewers will only look at what is included in this document.) Thumbnail-sized images are not large enough for evaluation of your final product. Make sure your “Final Product” image takes up most of one page. Pay attention to image quality and size for all images.
Students submitting Film, Animation, Audio, Interactive Projects, etc: Include a link to your final product using YouTube, Vimeo Sound Cloud etc. but make sure your privacy settings allow anyone with a link to view your work without a password, login etc. Any still images, scripts, storyboards etc. must be embedded (inserted) into this document. (Do not link to image files, other documents, or web addresses.). Limit scrips to no more than five-pages. The total playtime of all time-based media in your entire portfolio, including process pieces should not exceed 5 minutes.
Each student should only submit one “Process Piece” with their portfolio. The “Process Piece counts as both final product and evidence of your process. In other words don’t submit your final product and process piece as two separate items in SlideRoom.
Important: Make sure the evidence you include here clearly documents the process used to create the final product included with your Process Piece submission. In previous years, some students have included very limited evidence of process (a single sketch, “before and after” images of a single photo, with limited retouching, etc). Other students included evidence of process without including their final product in the document. An incomplete or poorly documented “Process Piece” will have a significant impact on your score.
How to submit your “Process Piece” in SlideRoom. Once you complete the “Process Piece Template”, download your completed template as a PDF. You can then upload the PDF to SlideRoom as one of your portfolio entries.
