Portfolio Directions
Hmmm... not sure if this makes more sense or not.
I wanted it to be sorta IKEA-ish.

New Portfolio
Again.
Except this time, I finished it under a week's time and I'm pretty satisfied with it. I finished my old 'new' portfolio after 4 months and hate it.
Weird how that happens. I guess I just thought of a concept that I really liked and ran with it, as opposed to trying to make something work that I wasn't really crazy for in the first place. I realized that it's much better to make something clean, simple, and consistent. I thought I was doing that with my old 'new' portfolio, but the end product is hardly that. Anyways, here's part of the new new one:
This time I went with a horizontal format... as in 8.5 inches x 11 feet. I played with that and came up with a timeline concept, and how someone's work is most commonly arranged chronologically. I tried to also factor that into how the portfolio is read in physical form (folds out), and electronically (scroll a long PDF). It still needs some tweaking/polishing, but its more or less finished. Gimmicky, but hopefully unique in a good way.
