The Featured Image is the image of your project that will show on your Portfolio home page. You must separately designate this image from images uploaded to your Project page.
- Choose one of your main final images from your Project page. This should be an image that shows a much of your final work as possible. Don’t use a detail image.
- Take a copy of the image into any photo editor. You can use the Photos app on your iPad or any other tool. A copy is important so you don’t loose the original.
- Crop the image using a 3:2 aspect ratio. Maintain or show as much of your final work as possible
Note: example shown uses Photos on a Mac - Visit here for help using crop on the iPad. Most software on other systems will have a similar format for selecting a crop ratio.
- Visit here for a free Adobe crop tool.
- Save image.
- In your Project page, upload your image to the Featured Image box by selecting “Set Featured Image” and uploading the cropped image file. Click “Set Featured Image” to save.
- You should now see the image under the Featured Image box on the Edit Project window
- Make sure to Save Draft or Update if you’ve already published the project
- After you update and Publish the Project, you will see the Featured Image, Project Title, Project Type, and Excerpt on your home page
Note: If you don’t see your project on your home page, it’s likely you haven’t published it yet. You can keep the project a draft until you’re ready to have it go live (and by the Portfolio submission date).
