Projects
i.Beginner
Beginner project: create a transparent PNG for one defined product and demonstrate that it meets the supplied digital requirements.
Deliverables:
- Editable source file
- Production PNG
- Pixel-dimension and effective-resolution calculation
- Transparency preview on three contrasting backgrounds
- Product, method, final-size, and placement note
- Completed export checklist
ii.Intermediate
Intermediate project: build a complete creator-to-maker PNG handoff for a product that requires a template and production proof.
Deliverables:
- Product-specific working template
- Approved production PNG and retained source
- Companion path or instructions when required
- Maker intake and pre-production checklist
- Controlled proof with inspection notes
- Corrected revision when the first proof reveals a problem
iii.Advanced
Advanced project: validate one PNG design across two compatible production workflows or product-material combinations and document why their requirements differ.
Deliverables:
- Technical inspection of the PNG color type, bit depth, dimensions, alpha behavior, and relevant metadata
- Separate production plans for both workflows
- Controlled variables, presets, materials, and acceptance criteria
- Physical or simulated proofs appropriate to each method
- Root-cause analysis for one introduced or observed failure
- Verified corrective action and updated work instruction
- Repeatability and waste-reduction review
