How to Make a Portfolio

Valerie Atkisson/ArtBistro - Aug 30 2007

How Do I Create a Portfolio?

Go to Portfolios. Click on Go to My Portfolios. Click on Create New Gallery. Name the Album in the space provided. Select a category. Check public or private. Fill in description. Click Continue

NOTE: By selecting descriptive titles for your portfolio, you make it easier for someone to find your images when they search the site for art work. For example: Paintings, Sculpture, or Graphic Design.

NOTE: If you load your art images into the Profile Folder and not a new album, you will not receive credit for loading photos in your reputation score.

How to Upload Images into the Portfolio.

Click on Upload Images to this Gallery. Click on Browse. select image(s) to upload. Click Continue. Enter Title and Description of work. This is also a good place to put the year made, dimensions and the medium. Click Continue.

My Images are square and out of proportion!

Don’t be fooled. Those are the thumbnails. If you click on them they go to the original size and proportion, then you can click on the arrows to the right or left and browse through the portfolio.

    I uploaded 10 images to a portfolio and asked a member to check it out. They say that they can only see white boxes where my photos are. I can see them fine. I have clicked Public on for viewing, too. Also, when I uploaded the photos originally I noticed that there were two copies of each, so I deleted one of each from the portfolio. Is this why they are not viewable to others?

    Alright... I am totally new to this page and I dont know if this could be a skam or not... I just dont want people taking my pictures and copyrighting them and saying they are theirs. So I am a little hesitant to put my pictures on here. So does anyone know what I should do?
