What’s new for 2008 submission?

Reading the poster is the key.

Changes for 2008 Submissions Any work submitted in the Drawing Portfolio that incorporates digital or photographic processes must address drawing issues such as those listed above, as well as mark-making. Using computer programs merely to manipulate photographs through filters, adjustments, or special effects is not appropriate for the Drawing Portfolio. This is the only change from previous years

Advice from the Chief Reader High quality slides are critical! If slides are too dark or too light when projected, readers cannot fairly evaluate what they see. Order of the slides are important to show development of skill and idea. The most developed work should be in the bottom right corner.
