Your Final: Create a Portfolio

You will create a portfolio of your best work from this class.

This will take a good deal of time, so you want to start early.

Go to www.shutterfly.com   Click "sign in."   To sign in, you will use the email MrsCrouchlovesart.gmail.com and the password is whsgenerals.

Click on My Pictures.  You will be uploading your 20-30 best photos from this class.  Click Upload and then click Choose Files.   Then you will navigate to select your 20-30 best images from your flash drive or memory card.  IMPORTANT: At the bottom of the window, you want to select the option to CREATE A NEW ALBUM.  Change the date to YOUR NAME.  This will be your album only.  Make sure any additional photos that you upload go into your proper folder.

After you upload your photos, click on VIEW PHOTOS.  Then click on the Photo Book tab.

Then, click the button that says, "Go to the all new custom path"   Click on SOFT COVER BOOKS.  Then click on 7"x9".  

Next you will choose a style for your book.

In the left sidebar, click the checkbox for PORTFOLIO.   You may select from the options you see.  I like the modern black, the modern portfolio, the artist portfolio and the landscapes and florals.  They work the best for photographic portfolios.

Click your option and then the orange button that says Select this style (or something like that)

A window will open that says Choose Photos for your Photobook.

Click on the shutterfly tab.  Navigate to YOUR named photo album.  Click Select All and then Add to PhotoBook.

Now, you will add and arrange your photos.  I will show you a demo in class about how to do this, but it is pretty simple.

Be sure to save it as you work.  IMPORTANT: The first time you save, be sure to click SAVE AS... and rename the photobook to something with your name in it.

More instructions will come later.
