Month: April 2019

I’ve drawn up a plan of how I’m going to layout my final images for my physical portfolio in Indesign:

Researching Layouts for Physical Portfolio

I’ve scanned and edited all my final pictures for my physical portfolio. I’m going to edit them together on  5-7 A3 pages. I’ve decided to not make my portfolio into a book but as seperate sheets. I’ve had a look at other portfolios online and drawn a layout idea:

Creative Resume Final

Today I finished my creative resume.

Today I had a go at making a creative resume. I tried using some online templates but didn’t like that I couldn’t use my own fonts and lots of the online ones were expensive. I tried some free templates on Word but didn’t like those either so just started making my own template using collumns on Word. I made my page size A3.

Today I designed my business cards using ‘Banana Print’ online.  I decided to keep my design quite simple and just have a white background but also incorporate a bit of colour with the images. I used two examples of my work to give a taste of my style of work. I used the same font as my logo for my contact info. I’ve ordered them online so they should arrive soon. I’m really pleased with the design. This is a screenshot of the PDF file:

 

 

Today I ordered this folder online from Amazon for my physical portfolio:

I decided to order this one as I like how simple it is. And as I’ve decided to do loose A3 sheets rather than a book, I think they will stay nice and flat inside this. I think it will look really neat.

I’ve had another go at creating a logo on Photoshop and I’m much happier with this one. I tried out another font and decided to keep it quite minimal.

 

I’m really pleased with this logo. I’ve also added my tagline to show who I am. I decided to go for “artist and illustrator” as I feel that describes me best as I don’t want to be only associated with illustration.

I found some inspiration on Pintrest:

Business Card Inspiration

Today I had a look on Pintrest for business card examples. I wanted to get a feel of what colours/styles and how much imagery other people have used. Also whether to do it landscape or portrait. I saved my research to a folder I named ‘Portfolio Project’.

I also had a look on Behance:

Creative Resume

I’ve never made a creative resume before so had a look online for some inspiration. I had a look on Creativbloq and found some useful tips:

 

I then had a look on Pinterest:
