My talk with Ric Bell was really good. He gave me allot
of good ideas to do like he said my work is strong but I just need to
put it as a portfolio spread and pick out parts of my work and also a3
is a good size rather than a2.
He really liked my bellavista
project and he said it looked like a complete brief and that I had
thought lots about it and it really showed, he just said my slides need
to be much more condensed and that there was a lot of images that wern't
really necessary.
For the typeface I designed he told me to print it as a Constantine
fold where I will print it on a really long roll and then fold it into a
booklet. And also he suggested that If I was to pint out a few of these
then i could hand them out to designers rather than handing out a business
card. I feel this is a great way of having my work seen and then I
could design it as a fold out poster so they can have it on their wall
and have my name and contact on the bottom so people can see who it was
done by and then get in contact.
He also gave me a great idea for my not just fleurons brief where he told me to brand a flower shop and do the signage for the shop window and make business
cards where they can be laser cut out and also have the tracing paper
of the flowers with my typeface wrapped around them. I could even laser
cut the name of the shop and photoshop it into context.
He said my photoshopping skills were really strong
The
only real critical feedback he gave was that I was too quiet and I
needed to show off my work more rather than going through it really
quickly which is what I was doing. So I need the confidence.
Also I told him writing wasn't
my strong point and he said that I didn't need to have writing on the
slides because nobody actually reads them and my work should speak for
itself.
