Week 9

Designing my portfolio

I want the design of my portfolio to blend in with the identity that I have already established with my Buisness card and CV.
My idea at the moment is to produce a bound A4 book using plain black card. I have already established a colour scheme of red, black and white. I will add red and white stripes to the cover as a contrast to the black.

The cover will have a window in the middle which will act as a kind of photo frame. This is where I will display the 'common' image which I created specifically to be used as an identity.


My task this week was to convert my three chosen pieces of work on to the A3 format. I have had a few problems with the images I want to use because of the original resolution which they were produced. I am confident that this issue can be easily resolved once I render the images at a larger size.

I have also continued with the pencil prop. I have had to add more layers of paper machet in order to fully prepare the surface ready for spraying.

  1. Hi Jonathan,

    Well done with the final binding of your portfolio. Looks great and, the most important part is that it's unified with the rest of your identity. I think it really works and it's visually interesting (because of your clever use of palette of colour). This is a good example of how an image can give you inspiration to create a whole brand identity. Well done! Now, what I want you to do is to decide and add to your blog the different projects you will include with:
    Name of the project
    Aim
    And a brief explanation of technical and theoretical tools you used to cover this aim of brief.
    See you soon,
    Mariana.
