Portfolio




I'm thinking of chasing up an internship with a small studio in Bondi Junction. Only thing is I need to send in my resume and portfolio. Thankfully I did a pretty cool resume last year during my Whitehouse course (if I do say so myself), but I now have the daunting task of choosing some of my work to scan and assemble a digital portfolio. One of my lecturers gave us a good tip today on the very subject...he said to include writings with each image so that potential employers can see your thinking behind each project. That's definitely another one to store up for future reference.
(come to think of it, I should probably write down all those little tips that lecturers casually give out sometimes. They're all such pros at what they do, so they're obviously valuable)

PS: I have no idea why the image turned out orange and red when it's actually blue and purple. And as of tomorrow, it should no longer read 17 (or even 18) but 19 years old! Note to self to update the design a bit too.

Can't wait to finish this assignment!

As part of my graphic design course, I have to design a 6-page book which tells a story from my cultural heritage and includes a symbol of that culture throughout. I chose the Tragic Love Tale of Tristan and Iseult, a Cornish legend (Mom's sure I've got some Cornish in there...mixed with the Dutch, British, French Huguenot, Belgian..) and a Celtic loveknot as my symbol.

Here's a snippet of the watercolour page in progress. It shows Iseult reaching out to Tristan as she finds him washed up on shore after a shipwreck.
