Please take a moment to look at these examples. Example one: Asun Asyar (great example!) Example two: Small White Mouse (good example of one of my projects with extras at the end)Example Three: Creature Box (good example of showing the process, I’d like to see a little more narrative written than they do here) Example Four: Krolik (great example of progression through the idea)

Each project has at least one Pinterest board associated with it. Pins on those boards with “by student” in the description will link to that student’s write-up of their project.

There are a lot of different ways to do this. There are no “right” ways, as long as it looks good, you’re good to go. One very interesting way to do it though is to show the tools and surroundings with your sketchbook. The idea is to show that it was done on paper first. People really value traditional work, even if the end result is digital. Take a look at these examples (these are not a good write ups, just a good examples of interesting ways to photography your sketches)

Example: Various Work (showing tools and surroundings)

Example: Never let go (close up with torn edges)

Example: icons collection (showing tools, surroundings and close ups)

The final image should be a professional quality polished image presented in the best light possible. The write up should tell the story of the creation of the image and give us a glimpse into your process. We should be able to see the concept develop throughout the narrative. At minimum, the write-up will include:

• a description of your concept and objectives
• an image showing your sketches
• a few lines about your sketching process and your thoughts/reasons/development/etc in the sketches shown.
• an image of your vector draft(s)
• a few lines describing how you incorporated the feedback you received
• your final image
• a few lines defending how your image meets the objectives

Consider this write-up an exercise in professional communication. Feel free to let your personality show through, but put your best foot forward in your writing. Often, process write-ups posted to your blog and tagged correctly will be the catalysts to launch new client and employer relationships. Don’t let poor writing kill a relationship before it starts.
