Projects
i.Beginner
Prepare one product photo for a listing, with appropriate crop, dimensions, and inspected JPEG export.
Deliver a correctly cropped listing photograph and a short note explaining why JPEG is appropriate for it. The photo should not be described as a maker-ready production file unless the assignment states one.
The beginner project should have a clear deliverable: one honest listing photo JPEG derived from a source image, plus a crop and size record. The learner should demonstrate why this is a buyer-facing image, not call it a production asset by default. Feedback can check the subject visibility, orientation, image dimensions, and absence of obvious lossy artifacts at intended display size.
ii.Intermediate
Adapt one photographic master to two different product templates and compare separate approved exports.
Deliver two product-specific exports from one source with recorded crop, pixel size, effective density, profile choice, and intended background. Compare what changed and why.
The intermediate project should use one source photograph and two different product templates. The learner exports a JPEG for each, documents final pixels and physical dimensions, and explains different crop or background decisions. A successful pair should be product-specific and traceable back to the same master without overwriting it.
iii.Advanced
Build a documented production handoff with source provenance, image and profile inspection, proof criteria, and a repeatability record.
Complete a mock production handoff for a named method and product, document the applicable sources and proof criteria, identify an intentionally missing requirement, and refuse to invent a machine setting.
The advanced project should produce an evidence-based maker packet. Include the exact product, method, template, JPEG revision, effective-size calculation, color workflow note, proof acceptance criteria, and any unresolved manufacturer requirement. Assessment should reward identifying a missing input and pausing, not inventing a machine value to make the packet look complete.
