Format for handing in material

All projects should be turned in on CDR formatted as ISO 9660, preferably "long" filename format. Be sure to put your name and the assignment or project name on the CDR. For example, you might write "Shawn Rider Assignment One" on the CDR using a marker, if your name were Shawn Rider and you were turning in Assignment One.

Each CDR should contain whatever files are required for the assignment in the root directory. Files should be named like this:

For a Project (there will be three of these):

P#_YOURLASTNAME.***
Example: P1_Rider.PSD

For an Assignment (there will be several of these):

A#_YOURLASTNAME.***
Example: A1_Rider.SWF

All files used in the creation of your final files should be contained in a folder called "WORK". This includes any scanned images, recorded sounds, failed attempts, editable working files, etc. For example, if you made a JPG image for an assignment, you should include the PSD in the WORK directory along with any other files used in creating the work you are turning in.

Your WORK directory should also contain a file called "bibliography.doc" (MS Word  or RTF format only). This document will list the source for every file used in creating your final piece. A portion of your bibliography.doc may look like this:

doodle.psd – A drawing I did in PhotoShop while Shawn said some boring stuff.

The point of this is not to be terribly formal, but to document where each piece of your project came from. Digital art, by nature, often makes use of existing media, but it is important to respect intellectual property and copyright laws, and the basic protection against any trouble is to make sure you document sources. These include sounds, images, fonts, video clips, etc.
