Project Two BriefMy stationary system will include my resume, cover letter, thank you cards and design statement. These pieces will be used to promote my design abilities to potential employers. Each of these individual pieces will be developed simultaneously in order to maintain cohesiveness within my stationary system.
During development, special attention will be paid to the typography and the cohesiveness of the information within the design. I will also attempt to create a visual correlation between all the elements through the use of color and repetition of design elements. The location of these elements will change with each piece of the stationary system in order to create variety within my system. The graphic elements will be kept simple so as not to detract from the information within my resume and cover letter.
I plan to have my entire identity system completed by Spring Break. This will allow me sufficient time to seek input and advice from my classmates and professionals. I will then make changes accordingly.
Project One BriefMy portfolio will display examples of my work for future employers to browse during the hiring process. A print, emailable and online version of my portfolio will be available for employers. The online and emailable versions of my portfolio will contain fewer pieces than my print portfolio. This will allow me to bring new examples of my design work to the interview. When determining which pieces will be shown in which version of my portfolio, I will consider the appropriateness of each design for the medium in which it is presented. For example, designs with complex folds will be left out of my electronic portfolios.
I plan to focus on project one after returning from spring break. This way I can spend the weeks leading up to spring break designing my stationary system, and editing the pieces I want to place in my portfolio. After spring break I plan on printing out my designs and placing them in my portfolio.
During the process of assembling my portfolio, I am hoping to meet with three design professionals. I am hoping to take their input into consideration before finalizing my portfolio for the class portfolio review.
