Hi everyone,

Just a quick question about my CV.  If I go into prizes or awards and I am not successful, do I add them to my CV or leave them off completely?  I would value your feedback here.

Thanks!

hi Helen – i left it off of my CV for now. but also think about “recognition” or “accomplishments” that could broaden the scope of that section.

Hi all, I come with a technical question. We have been told to submit images for galleries and competitions at 72 dpi. As this does not mean to much for me, I asked an expert to transform all my images to the 72 dpi. He came back to me with the following : Your images are at present 96 dpi, to change them to 72 dpi does not make any difference. Perhaps they need to be set to A5 size at 72 dpi, or maybe 1000 pixel long edge at 72 dpi ! Please if anyone knows this answer , I would really appreciate to know and it should be useful to all of us!

Hi Alois

Would an online DPI changed do the trick? Something like this? https://convert.town/image-dpi

Let me know how it goes for you!

Thanks

Lily

Hi Lily, thank you for your reply. The problem I have, is not to change the dpi of my images, but to what I have to change them.
Apparently 72 dpi or 96 dpi does not make any difference.Therefore to send images to a gallery, at what clarity do one have to do them.

Alois, I think you are confusing something that doesn’t have to be complex. If you want to keep them at 96 dpi, that’s okay just don’t make them huge in size. You don’t want to clog someone’s inbox with huge images.

 

72 dpi is a standard, not a rule. And if this is stopping you from sending in an application then let it go. Make a note to learn more about this subject at the next opportunity. But don’t sweat too much over this detail.

Thank you Crista, I thought so, but just wanted to make sure.
