Progress

So within two days of my last entry, I did what I said I wanted to do. I finished tweaking my old portfolio and I applied to three jobs. Yay?

Only kind of yay. I really suspect that my old portfolio can't compete with people who actually studied/majored in graphic design. So... it's back to designing that new one. My portfolio should show what I can do and should reflect my design style. I have a new set of eyes vs. 6 months ago, so making a new portfolio makes sense. I decided to make intro pages for each section of my portfolio - graphic design, architecture, and art. These aren't done. I want to include pictures of the projects and their page numbers somewhere. I just put placeholder text there for now.
For the graphic design page, I wanted it to look like pixels or something. It looks more like plaid to me right now (which isn't a bad thing). I think it looks fine. For the architecture page, I modeled an old project from 11B in SketchUp (luls), and made an axon. Finally, for the art page, I drew the titles and such with my tablet.
