Week of 13th May – Independent study
To begin I looked at existing portfolios of designers – with 3D, web, multimedia and illustrative styles of graphics. Through looking at these I’ve noticed a theme being very minimal, which lets the work speak for its self. These web based portfolios go straight to the point, all using sans serif fonts, mainly in a very basic grid system.
From these I have learnt that I need to find my own personal brand that links back to my work so far.
However these are digital, interactive portfolios which is not similar to mine being printed and placed on boards. So for my work going forward I would like to keep it simple only 3 or 4 colours, not taking away from my own previous work. I am also not a fan of the grid system for just one long page. I would rather it be split up with a better pace, which my boards can cater for.
