Here's a digital portfolio I have been and will be sending out to agencies and freelancers for feedback and possible work placements. I have had a few replies but I will cover this in a later post.
This will be updated in the near future with work I deem to be stronger and which better represents me as a designer. I do feel it is a little all over the place at the moment, but the work in there is fairly strong, although I have said I want to produce more branding solutions.

Some examples of creative CVs
Some examples of what can be done creativley with a cv. Near off anything is possible when you are trying to attract the attention of a design company or agency. As you can see from these CVs, what you do really has to be related to how your CV appears visually, this should also coincide with who youre sending them to.
Delivering cvs by hand can often also be more rewarding that mailing them off in batches.
Franco shade and pokedstudio
The first two images are by Franco shade, he is someone who I really admire and I reall like his visuals, I think his sort of work could be applicable to alot of things across design and is a style I have slowly been exploring over the course of the image elective. Illustrative type is definately a large part of my practise at the moment and is something I want to explore further across a different set of disciplines
The latter images are from the Pokedstudio's website. Again, some great illustrative work, and these people are a collective. It would be great to work under a creative place like Poked - their imagery is fun looking, and also executed very well. Both these people will be recieving an email from me soon!
The Portfolio
What is a portfolio?
In creative terms, a potfolio is a case containing a set of pieces of work considered by the owner, to showcase his skills and abilities in a creative field. (In this instance, graphic design.) A portfolio, does not have to be physical, this portfolio could be on the internet in the form of a website, it could be a PDF suitable for emailing to potential clients or employers or it could be a showreel (movie file) for designers who produce motion graphics work.
A web based portfolio will often reach more people than a physical portfolio because the internet instantly exposes the portfolio to who ever has the internet. Digital design is becoming ever more present in contempory design, with innovations in digital technology ever progressing, it is good to at least have an awareness of the possiblities for digital display and distribution. The form a portfolio can take will differ, depending on the discipline of the said designer, for example, I am a print based designer at the moment, therefor it is important for me to have a physical portfolio as well as a digital one in order to showcase my print work to it's highest standard and fullest potential. This could be crucial for me in order to get a job or a placement, whereas with a motiongraphics designer, this is not his top priority, having a website with a showreel on it would be far more applicable.
