Assignment:Aspirational Portfolio
100 pointsThe objective of theis exercise is to help you gain a focus for your portfolio.
Spend some time gathering examples of work done by other artists/designers that you love, respond to, and wish you had done. The kind of work you would want to represent you in your portfolio.
Collect 40-50 samples from magazines, the web, books just about anywhere you can find them.
Next, edit the 50 or so samples down to your favorite/best 30. Then ask yourself this question, "If I want to communicate my vision/style/philosophy to someone, which pieces will work the best?" Keeping that question in mind, edit down the 30 to the best 15. When you are done, these samples will represent your thinking and the type of work you want to do.
Bring the best 15 samples you have chosen and the remaining 15 samples with you to class.
You will also bring with you your existing portfolio so we can compare the two.
