portfolio prep
since this is now my senior year, a lot more importance is put on portfolio reviews because they start to resemble, more and more, job interviews. tomorrow i have my second to last portfolio review before i start to have real job interviews. and i am surprisingly calm.
i mean, i am sure i won’t be tomorrow at 3:15, but right now, i am almost done with most of my printing and i just have to cut my pages down before i organize my book, so i am feeling pretty confident. but anything can happen so this is me mentally knocking on wood so that nothing horrific happens tonight.
this semester i am laying out photos of everything and putting it in a presentation book instead of printing and hanging on boards. at first the whole portfolio book thing freaked me out, but now i think i actually like making the book better. i am at an advantage because i had to photograph all of my projects for my portfolio website, so i had mostly everything photographed and edited by the time this week rolled around. i had also sort of branded myself for my website, so i already had a design aesthetic to use in my book. such a major weight off of my shoulders. however stressful the past few weeks have been, i am glad that i did a lot of work then because now that allows me a little more time to get the most out of this presentation as possible.
