Portfolio time!

So I've been working on my cover and layout for my portfolio. Right now I'm just laying things out and whatever cover I end up choosing, I'll give it the aesthetic I gave to the cover so it can tie well together. Portfolio is going to be 19x13.


This one is a simple cover with my logo, but one thing I did was have outlines shadowing it, plus using the colors CMYK. I feel that it does pop out pretty well and is attention grabbing. Question is, should I leave it as is or does it need information?

This cover I used the same style as my pencil packages (self promo). I'm not sure if it works as a big book cover, though.

Whatever I pick, I will have them silkscreened on bookcloth and then make it as a nice hardcover for better durability.

My layout sofar.













I think as part of self-promo, I'll add a business card, letterhead, and envelope.

I'll add more details once I figure out the cover.

Finished with USB Cassette!

Not the best pictures, but will look nicer in the photoshoot. These are just for now.





Layout and logo for a clearer read...
I'm currently putting the box for my Muhammad Ali first aid kit together, but this is what the front and side will look like. The rest is just going to be red and white.


Photoshoot!

Might go back to retouch some more if I missed any.




















Tuesday I'll be shooting some more. I'll be doing an outdoor shoot with my Access posters hung around in the public and then another studio shoot for my thesis book, Love Is In The Air USB cassette, Muhammad Ali First Aid Kit, and my self-promo pencils (which should be coming in by the end of this week).

Coming up: Plugging in my Access products in my thesis book and what I have sofar in my portfolio layout!

Special thanks to Kara for helping me photograph my pieces and to Gen for recommending her!
