Portfolio development...

This is how my portfolio started of like:

I kept it quite simple keeping all type and layout consistent and centered. I booked a tutorial with Joe and asked him for advice on how he thought it was looking. Overall he thought it was good although he thought there were a few adjustments to be made in as such the type layout, he mentioned the fact that the type maybe needed to be be left aligned and that I needed to make sure the heirarchy was read properly and in the right order, as it stands now I need to make my name stand out more maybe by making it slightly bigger.

I think this layout is a lot more professional, it is also clearer and more consistent in regards to the type and information i have displayed. The type is 10 pt where as I have made my name 14pt and bold to attract attention to that first.

There is going to be a consistent pattern in presenting my briefs also, for instance for Hugo I am going to have a large scale image of an important aspect of the brief on the left hand side and then on the right I will have all the work photographed together or in context.

Sweet Bags...

I had a thought that i could use the idea that i was focusing on for my Love Your Body Campaign.

I could send a cookie and maybe have type saying 'taste a fresh creative designer', I could maybe even add a tea bad into the cookie so that the person who recieves it can have a cup of tea and a cookie.

This then could be placed into my little sweet bags and sent away to companies.

I had a thought that i could use the idea that i was focusing on for my Love Your Body Campaign.

I thought about what I could send my self promotion in and I decided to order pink and white sweet bags! The reason for this being that it reflects me as a designer, the fact that the little promotion material inside will be saying 'taste a fresh creative designer'.

Creating a logo ...

I started playing around on Superveloz.net to create my logo that I could use as my brand identity.

Portfolios...

These are some of the portfolios i have been looking at on the London Graphic Centre website...

I quite like this inparticular folder below, i think it looks really professional but i think you can only order A3 size where i think I would benefit more by getting A2.

This portfolio comes in a range of different colours also...
This is another one that i came across, this maybe is slightly more appropriate for what i need...and is slightly cheaper.
