Week 11

This week I produced the pages for my portfolio. Rather than have just plain pages with the work stuck straight onto them I decided to do it the hard way by framing each picture so that it looked recessed into the card.
This took a long time to complete so I hope that when it is bound everything goes according to plan. I used a thin card for the inner pages and a thick card for the cover.


One of my favourite parts of this portfolio design is that the front cover has a window or open frame so that the first piece of work inside the portfolio also doubles up as the cover image.

I have also been finishing off the production of my website this week. It has taken me approximately three to four weeks to get everything properly running. I am farely happy with the final result and feel it is a good start to getting my work out there so that people can see what I can do.

The design of the website again follows the same branding that I outlined at the begining of the project. The main colours of the site are red, black and white. I have tried to create a simple, professional looking website. I do not think it is far off but a few more tweeks and it could look better. I have used galleries to show both my 2D and 3D work. These two pages are probably the best on the site. The work I have uploaded so far is the same work that I am displaying in my portfolio.
