My Portfolio

My portfolio shows and demonstrates what I'm capable of doing. I designed my portfolio to professional and smart. If this is something to present then I'll make sure it's presentable and has the best quality. First its shows the prototype and then it shows the final product. Since this will be seen by many different people I made sure that the paper is soft tough to get it that extra form of seriousness. The most important thing for a portfolio to have during an interview is text under the work. If someone is looking at the work and you don't have text then there not going to get what the work is. I made sure that my portfolio has enough text. For improvements I could include more work and different types of work, to show that I can do more then just whats on the portfolio. 

I believe that presentation went well with some hiccups. Over all I think that I presented my work to the best of my abilities. I spoke about my work with great confidence, I was even able to use my use my comedic side to make me less stress. I made sure everyone understood the work on screen. There were definitely some weakness such as maybe I was to nervous and it made known by me shaking. My stance was more relaxed, it should of been more up right and straight. There was a question that I couldn't answer and I felt like I let the person asking the question down. All in all I felt like I got across what I wanted.

Final Project: Week Two

Now that all the research has been taken care of I can now focus on experimenting and prototyping on my book Idea. Using books and Pinterest articles as my guidance I started to picture what the page spreads are going to look like. I believe the book should be fun and informative but not to distracting or text heavy. I'm going to need to find the perfect balance between the two extremes. In the book I would like to use graphics of Nintendo characters though out the sections. There'll even be graphics based on what what section it is like figures or board games. I'm going to make this personal and fun, in order to give a good reason in to wanting to read the book. I feel like its such an interesting and peculiar subject that hasn't been done too often. It'll be a great challenge has I have never designed a proper photo and graphic design book before however I'm looking forward to the task and making sure this is a book that gamers and non-gamers alike will bee en...

I'm still knee deep in doing prototyping and working things out for my book. I think that the book will need to have the same graphical style to keep the book focused. So that means I gave the main Mario icon a full body using the same style. I also gave him the simplified treatment for when it was a head. Besides on working on making the Mario icon better I have also been working on the book layout and typography. Since I want the book to bee fun yet informative I need to make sure the type isn't too distracting. I went back to my Pinterest inspiration to help get a slick, modern and simplistic style for presenting information. I noticed that a lot of the pictures I saved had a certain grid that they stuck to in order to keep in character. I also found some more examples of book layouts have I have created templates for myself to follow. With these templates there are guides that are there for me to follow and to keep titles, texts and pictures in an orderly fashion. However e...

Final Project Week Five

I'm now finalising the page layouts of the book about my Nintendo collection. Due to time the final book will instead be a booklet with twelve pages, originally it would it was going to be a book of sixteen. I'm really ok with this being a bit shorter in length as I'm going to make this book over the course of a couple of years from now. So this is more of a prototype but a greatly designed prototype as this is the style as I will make the proper book like. This week I have also spent my time cutting out each picture in Adobe Photoshop and giving it a grey background making it look professional. I have also changed the intro pages by making it solid red with bold text and a picture of of what's to come mixed with the red. This has a very slick and professional design that I'm quite found of. Which means the graphic pages are now not as common as the all red pages. This week I have learnt about cutting out pictures in Adobe Photoshop and making slick pages. ...
