Portfolio
Oh.. Portfolio design! Oh how you can take over my entire weekend. Three weeks ago I attended a portfolio seminar for design students. Sonia Davis Gutierrez of the New Design School gave us detailed information on designing our portfolios. After several professionals gave me feedback on my portfolio I left motivated, excited to re-vamp my overly stimulating portfolio.
Now here I am 2 days away from the Architectural Career Fair at the University of Arkansas and I must admit I'm frustrated with the progress I have made on my portfolio. I've taken over the desk at home trying to market my best self. The goal is to procure an internship with a wonderful company which I could learn from and go on to have a brilliant design career.
I suppose I should get back to the basics.
1. Brand your work so that it can be a stand alone piece if necessary.
2. Use descriptions on each page to orient anyone who looks at the work.
3. Strike a balance between many images and showing your best work.
4. Consistency!
5. RESPECT THE WHITE SPACE.
Back to my portfolio. Good luck fellow student designers.
