My Portfolio


Here are some images of my portfolio. The only thing missing now is the DVD. I can't get this ready yet because i'm waiting to finish another assignment before I can put that video on there!



This picture shows my complete portfolio containing my cv, my business card, my dvd case design and my inlays for the dvd case. 


This image shows how the cv folds into the dvd case. I have placed the cv on top to stop the case damaging the inlays because the middle part of the case can catch the edges when it is closed/opened.


I am really pleased with how my different components link together. My cv has the reverse colours to my dvd case. This makes both stand out individually whilst still continuing the branding.


I have made six inlays for inside the dvd case. They each cover a different work topic. Four relate to the icons that I have made (the icon can be seen in the bottom left corner). One inlay showcases some other work and the final one shows a template of me along with my name. I am really pleased with them, it has taken a lot of work in photoshop. They are all printed on photo paper.


The final image shows my business card. Again I am really pleased with it. All in all I think the work i've put into my personal branding has paid off. I didn't think i'd be able to create something that i'd be really pleased with but I have. I have vastly improved my Photoshop skills during this module so that is another huge positive to take away from it. I think my personal branding will set me up nicely for finding a pathway into a career, so for that I am very grateful for being given the chance to do this at university :)

Update - Week 10


I've neglected my blog here a bit recently, mainly because of the ever increasing workload that gets piled on in the final semester! I have nearly finished my portfolio now and the graphics team are well up to date for the exhibition.

My portfolio is in the form of a dvd case containing inlays showing images and descriptions of my work as well as a disc containing multimedia versions. I have received my business cards through the post and am very pleased with them! I will post a picture of my finished portfolio once I have printed the inlays and my cv and assembled everything together.


The inlays each cover a different subject area and I have written a description about the work on there too. I have changed the logo in the corner on each one to make it personal to that page. 

I have a link to my website on my business cards. I will not have time to get this website up and running until I finish this semester. I will work on it once I have handed my work in.


Graphics team has been working hard over easter to get all the final bits and pieces done. I sorted out the poster designs for the screens around campus.



The designs were adapted from the poster designs that can be seen around campus. They had to be reworked to fit the specifications for the screens.

Today I helped the exhibition team set up the bags of sweets that we will be giving out to guest. It took quite a while, but all the sweets have now been used up!
