@Lee-White The first two parts are great (still have to do my homework about them), looking forward to Part III! (Btw if it's ever possible, please add some tips for those who want to use Photodeck, I took a new domain name and connected it to Photodeck at karimillustration.com with a PRO monthly subscription (found a 50% discount coupon online for the first month : ) 
of course everything is at a demo state right now but will be working on both a new portfolio and a different market -maybe, not sure yet to be honest-) thanks again and have fun in making the course : )

@Karim-Benyagoub I wish I had the time to do that, but that's a tough order. It takes about two weeks to get familiar with Photodecks interface. I don't love the design of it and find it confusing if I haven't logged in for a while. it's just one of those things you have to go in and mess with.

@Lee-White hey! Yes I totally understand, I've spent dozens of hours trying to figure out the differences between types of galleries etc (especially because my Internet access is so very slow currently,) but I understand what you mean, at least support seem to reach out to users by asking if everything is cool, and that's a good sign, I may explore it more and more as I renew some portfolio elements, thanks again!

Will and I may be doing a live Q&A based on the class (and we will record it) if you guys are interested in that. It will be free.
Awesome, thanks! ^^
@Lee-White Just finished listening to the 3rd video - Good job! Thanks!
I think for the Q&A, I'd still like to hear about: 1) Auditing the usage of images licensed via Photodeck as well as adherence to usage terms (this would also may include any commentary on litigation), and 2) the pros/cons, approach, practices & advice of being represented by agents.
Also, it was nice to see how you broke down the project into it's action points as well as how you itemized various things in the previous 2 videos and how you showed your workflow & presentation. It would be good to discuss/show other itemizations for business development & marketing/sales, workflow, project structure, file structure, presentation structure, etc. For instance, @Jake-Parker had a snippet of his document(s) for storyboard layout and page/illustration checklist for a book in an Instagram Stories post last week that was great.
You've stated similar sentiments in your videos: Project success is often helped or hindered by the quality of business operations. The better the structure, documentation, etc. the more efficient the process, end product, & client/vendor relations. Any additional insights you all may have learned across all your projects are incredibly valuable and will certainly help prevent costly mistakes.
Thank you for all that has been shared already!
Hi, Awesome tutorial.
I saw that you create a pdf displaying different options for an illustration for a client which allows for descriptions and an easy way for them to display it in meetings. I was wondering what you do to display roughs for a picture book professionally, as this has so many more pictures?
Thanks!
@neilpriceart for a book dummy I don't do multiple images for each illustration. I will do it for the cover though.

@Lee-White Thank you so much for the reply. So am i right in thinking you create a pdf for the roughs and each spread has a border and has your notes below? Thanks again.
@neilpriceart sort of. The pdf dummy will have notes in various places. Using Adobe Acrobat, you can attach notes anywhere.
