Project: Portfolio Inventory Grade: 100 points Due: Step #1 - Week #2, Monday 8am Due Step#2 - Week#2, Monday, 11am presentations The objective of theis exercise is to help you gain a focus for your portfolio. STEP 1. VISUAL AUDIT: Take an inventory of all your work: school assignments, group projects, internship work, freelance projects, etc. 1. Using the Portfolio checklist on pages 24-25 in your text, create a table/chart and list the projects you have already completed. Indicate the type of project (logo, brochure etc.) and when (semester/yr.)it was completed. 2. Review the ranking table, page 26 in your text, and then, rate each project on a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being the highest design quality (looks professional), 1 means needs work (looks too amateur). 3. In another column, decide if the piece has the potential to be in your final portfolio (definitely, maybe, only if I'm desperate). 4. Can the piece be saved? Does it need to be revised/reworked? Make notes about what's required to bring the piece up to a professional standard (revise layout, new type, images etc). 5. List new pieces you would like to create and include in your final portfolio. 6. Finally, create a schedule or timeline to upgrade and finish your portfolio pieces by the end of the semester. STEP 2. SLIDE SHOW OF CURRENT PORTFOLIO: Now that you've identified the finalists, make a low-res digital presentation of your portfolio as it is now to present in class. This slide presentation can be made in PowerPoint, Keynote, pdf or Flash. You can get digital images of your work by exporting native files as PDFs or JPGs. For some pieces use screen shots, photographs or scans. Some projects will need to be depicted in multiple views. This slide show is not intended as a final portfolio presentation, but rather as a low-res survey to help you plan and edit your work. As you flip through this presentation, we'll be able to see trends and identify any gaps in your portfolio. Revise your schedule based on feedback after your critique.
