Problems & Solutions - Week 3 - W3A1 & W3A2: What exactly is ASPECT RATIO?
(Also seen within our Questions for the Professor section)
Hi Class,
As you build your final portfolio, you will be asked to keep the aspect ratio the same for all of your photos. This helps to create visual consistency throughout the portfolio and it also helps to keep the portfolio looking "clean". The question remains, what is "aspect ratio"?
As seen in the article below published by Digital Photography School, "Aspect ratio is nothing more than a size relationship between the long and short sides of a photo" (web) and "Aspect Ratio: What it is and Why it Matters": Please click on the URL link below to read the articles:

Although it may go without saying, you also want to make sure that all of the photos you submit in your portfolio should be the same image size. I suggest that you pull all of your photos into Photoshop and double check the image size of each one. Once the photo is open in Photoshop, click on "Image" and then "Image Size". Adjust the "Document Size" (width, height and resolution) as needed.
