Portfolio and Car Raid Extra Credit

FINAL PORTFOLIO

All of the items on this exam appear on your blog and should be archived in your folder on the server. If you are missing any items on the list – on that page please just put MISSING. You will lose points for any missing items, unless you were not in my class at the time of the assignment. If you were not enrolled in my class for any of the assignments, please just put NOT IN CLASS on that page. These are two very different things - missing and not in class....FYI.

If you pull photos directly from you blog - they will be pixelate and you will lose points for each pixelated photo, but if that is the only place you have the photo, you should get something on each page if possible. If you pull photos from your server drive files they will not pixelate and those will be acceptable for this assignment. 

The best practice for sizing images is to use Photoshop to make them fit, but some of you know shortcuts - if you hold the command and shift button at the same time you grab the corner of your photo you can change the size of the photo without making the photo look funny. If you photos look funny (i.e. skinny or fat) you will lose points, so please do this correctly.

Here you go!! Good luck!!
