How to create your portfolio.

Which form of portfolios to choose?

Two forms of portfolios are available: a photo-book or a classic gallery.

1. The standard format will post more artworks in the same page. Artistic approach, biographic map and then
2. The photo-book format will leave more space for compiling. Every picture can be accompanied with a description.

How to create small-scale replicas of your pictures?

Resize and compress your pictures with the software [1]. A size of 650 side pixels is a great compromise between quality and accessibility on all screens.

Compress your pictures to JPG format and a resolution of 72 dpi (dots per inch) so that your picture will be available to small connections. In this format, the small models of your pictures will only weigh 80ko, if you do not forget to remove exif data and the recorded vignette by the camera. When recording, rename your pictures so that the search engines will list correctly the theme of your portfolio. It is preferable to use a name for your picture : “artificial-light.jpg” rather than “1657349.jpg”.

How to add quickly a portfolio?

After logging in, click on the link "Add a portfolio". In two stages, you will add a text (artistic approach, comments) then your small-scale replicas.
– Tip: To add your small pictures quickly, drag them in one compressed file (zipped). The zipped file will be automatically decompressed by the Internet website. The gallery will be saved automatically in your personal portfolio.
It is your turn, let yourself be guided.

How to create a photo-book?

The photo-book is still an experiment and needs a little intervention from the webmaster. Contact him and ask him your photo-book. Create your first double page by adding a text and then its picture attached. Validate this first double page, continue with the next double page...and so on and so forth.

– Add a personalized photograph at the top of your portfolio: Create a composition that leaves some space for the title of the website on the left of the picture. The picture must measure 760 pixels wide and 220 pixels high. The photograph needs to be saved in JPG format, 72 dpi resolution and to be compressed so that it does not weigh more than 70ko.
