Preparation of Entries
You must create files for each entry following the steps below. Once you have created your individual files, you must create a folder and then stuff the folder before you send it. You CAN NOT send individual files.
Create Your Files
Each entry (except web/interactive entries) must be submitted as:
- 72 dpi, RGB, Jpeg
- Vertical images must be 10" wide
- Horizontal images must be 12" wide
Name Your Entries
File names for each entry must include the category and last name.
Single Entries: PKG1_lastname.jpg
- Example: Jane Doe has 2 single entries for Packaging she would label her entries as: PKG1_Doe.jpg and PKG2_Doe.jpg
Series Entries: PST1a_lastname.jpg, PST1b_lastname.jpg, and PST1c_lastname.jpg
- Example: Jake Miller is submitting a series of 3 for poster category, his jpgs would look like this: PST1a_Miller.jpg, PST1b_Miller.jpg, and PST1c_Miller.jpg.
Preparation of Web/Interactive Entries
Since re-naming HTML files or SWF files may cause a break in a link, all Web/Interactive entries should be uploaded in one folder (using Stuffit or Archive) and cannot exceed 10MB. OR if the website or animation is live, list the URL in a txt file and include in your upload. The folder must use the naming configuration listed below:
- WEB1_lastname_firstinitial
- Example: Jake Miller is submitting a website and a flash animation, his folders would look like this: WEB1_Miller_J, WEB2_Miller_J
Web/Interactive entries over 10MB must be mailed and submitted on disc. All Web/Interactive entries should also include a screen shot and be saved using the specification listed above.
Group Entries
Groups should be no greater than 8 students to be eligible for submission.
To submit a design that was created as a part of a group project, please include each students' name in a txt file and include in the folder for submission.
Create Your Folder
All digital files must be put in a folder labeled with your last name, followed by your first initial ( ex. Miller_J ) If your folder is incorrectly labeled, your work will not be judged.
To stuff your folder
Once you have named all your files, you must stuff your folder. If you do not stuff your folder, your work will not be judged.
To stuff your folder you may download Stuffit application. Please go here for a free demo of Stuffit.
Or, if you have a Mac OS X, you may simply select your folder and choose File > Create Archive. Your folder will become a zip file.
