• The information on the CD must be designed and organized in a logical and creative fashion using applications/formats such as Power Point, HTML, Flash or Director. If your portfolio is created in a program that requires the host application to run it, you should save the document(s) in a self running format. For example, if you use Power Point to develop your portfolio, save it as a Power Point Show and include this file on the DVD/CD. Do not assume we have the same host application as you.
• Image Formats should be of a common type including TGA, TIF, BMP & JPG.
• Video Formats should be of a common type including AVI, MOV, MPG, WMV, MP4. Codecs used for the AVI and MOV files should be of the common type supported by the standard installations of Quick Time and Microsoft Media Player.
