Requirements and Recommendations for Digital Images

All images must be submitted in JPEG format (file name extension .jpg) and RGB color mode. We recommend uploading files that are 72 pixels-per-inch (ppi) because a higher resolution does not add clarity when viewing images on a computer screen. We recommend that you keep copies of your original images.

Image size: The image sizes below are recommendations. Your image sizes may be different.

• Landscape orientation:
  
  • Recommended maximum size: 780 × 530 pixels (10.83 × 7.36 inches)
  • Recommended minimum size: 480 × 480 pixels (6.67 × 6.67 inches)
• Portrait orientation:
  
  • Recommended maximum size: 530 × 780 pixels (7.36 × 10.83 inches)
  • Recommended minimum size: 480 × 480 pixels (6.67 × 6.67 inches)

Maximum file size: 3.0 MB per image. (Your image files will likely be considerably smaller than 3.0 MB.)

Free Disk Space:

• Drawing and 2-D Design Portfolio: Based on the maximum file size of 3.0 MB and a total of 24 digital images per portfolio, each student would need a maximum of 72 MB of free disk space per portfolio.
• 3-D Design Portfolio: Based on the maximum file size of 3.0 MB and a total of 38 digital images, each student would need a maximum of 114 MB of free disk space.
