Project
1 Brief
Overview:
This project involves the design and production of three different versions of
the designer’s personal portfolio: an emailable PDF, a web-based online
presence, and a physical presentation portfolio. The design and execution of
these pieces should be closely related to the concurrent design of the pieces in
Project 2 (see Project 2 Brief).
Requirements:
One
emailable portfolio in PDF form, consisting of 8-12 strong and current pieces
of design work. This PDF should be 5mb or smaller, and should be formally
related to the design of the pieces in Project 2.
One
personal portfolio website coded by hand and live online. This will include
both design and fine art work to play a more flexible role in the designer’s
entry to the professional realm. No more than 8-10 pieces of each will be
featured on the website.
One
interactive presentation portfolio and related collateral items, or “leave-behinds.”
This portfolio should be content-flexible, easily portable, and representative
of the designer’s strongest work.
At
least two portfolio reviews and completed review sheets.
Documentation
of process and completed pieces on personal Practicum blog.
Target
Audience: The intended audience for these pieces are potential future employers
within the realm of graphic design. The portfolios need to be flexible enough
to accommodate a number of possible employment goals, since the designer is
open to a very wide field of work.
Objectives:
All three portfolios and additional collateral should be clearly related, and
also have a strong formal relationship to the design system developed in
Project 2. Consistency, organization, and clarity across all three pieces is
important. Included designs should be representative of the designer’s
strongest pieces to date, and all photography should be high-resolution,
well-lit, and present an accurate reproduction of the original work. The website
should be functional and simple-to-navigate, and the presentation portfolio
should be accessible and easy to interact with.
