List three ways you can digitize your artwork.  Give a few tips to consider when utilizing each of these techniques. 

You can digitize your artwork by scanning, photographing, or creating your own composite images. When scanning your artwork, always check the color, levels, size, and crop settings on the scanner. When photographing your artwork, make sure you check the white balance settings, shoot in RAW if possible, frame tightly around the artwork to avoid the need for cropping, use a standard lens to avoid distortion, avoid using the flash, and do not use the digital zoom.

Give me the two different types of testing that should be done prior to delivering a product to your client.  How can each type of testing be accomplished?  

The two types of testing that should be done prior to delivering a product are audience testing and technical testing. During audience testing, the designer tests the product on people from the target market in the focus group or with other carefully selected individuals. Technical testing is the process of checking that the product works and runs as it should. The designer should always double-check the files before handing them off to the client.
