Title
Media to Digital
Intro copy
If all or most of your work was created (or printed)
in traditional media, getting it into digital form
will be a major project. Like any other task that is
light on creativity and heavy on production, it can
take an effort of will to begin. It's also tempting to
underestimate how important it is to digitize well.
Failing at this crucial stage can make the rest of
your effort a waste of time.
In the end, your portfolio is all about your work.
Digitizing that work successfully is the first step to
a quality portfolio. Fortunately, you probably
already have the technology you need to do it
right. Your skills and some patience will take you
the rest of the way.
This chapter will outline the best methods for cap-
turing different types of material for a digital port-
folio, how best to move your work into a digital
file, and the most frequently needed software rem-
edies for materials that aren't portfolio-ready.
