My placement with Cohorted that I have been doing since June (which I can work at properly after graduation) would count as my two week placement for third year but as mentioned in previous blog posts, I still want to do a placement in a different type of design studio. This is so that I can figure out more about what I want to do within my design practice in the future as well as gaining more experience.
When starting my portfolio this week I looked back at the google drive folders that Alec created which is full of a selection of good portfolios (by students, freelancers and studios). These examples were most helpful when I was deciding what to include and how to layout my intro and first title page, below shows some examples that I found useful:
My portfolio:
I still need to touch up some of the photographs and add some longer captions to each project/a short sentence that explains what the project was about, I might also include a client brief that I have done as this shows that I have experience with paid work and that I can work for others which is important to show. I might also take out the app project as I don't really like it and don't want to do app design in the future- i'm more of a production graphic designer.
I decided to give the introduction page (second slide) a personal and friendly feel as it represents me better, I also feel that if I was to hire someone I'd to seem approachable, outgoing and friendly (as well as good work obviously)
I also showed my portfolio to my peers in order to gain some feedback, they mentioned that it was looking good and to just keep it as 5ish projects.
