Subject: Bob's Port
Attachment: RBall-Port-Wk5.jpg
Message: Ok I have updated my portfolio. I have
shrunk it down some so that it will be less cumbersome to view. The
images are all close together except for the last 2 (new) images. I
gave them some space so that they could be viewed separately without
distraction from prior images. Each image has a description and a listing
of type faces used. I am not that good with wording things but I still
have time to polish stuff up some. I set up this file in Photo Shop
to save time. I have started to put together a PDF portfolio and this
is working out real nicely. The disadvantage to presenting a portfolio
as a jpeg is that image detail is lost and text really suffers. I guess
jpeg format would be the only way to set up a web site port and a PDF
would limit that some. I like detail and was very tempted to post a
couple of close ups of some of my work but that would not be a good
idea for this. The overall design of my port is not very creative but
perhaps once I get deeper into the creation of a PDF I will improve
on that.

Subject: Terri's Rough Draft
Attachment: TMichalski_RoughDraft.jpg
Message: Attached is my rough draft, posted in spreads
again. For this version I have re-ordered things a bit and touched
up the text. Let me know what you think. I have been working mostly
on tweaking the portfolio and the pieces, though I have done a sample
print of a few of these pages for my 8.5 x 11 portfolio. The prints
from my desktop photo printer came out very nicely so I do not think
I will need to run this version at Kinko’s. I am still working
out the details for the larger portfolio. I am worried about messing
up on the mounting and not being able to fine the same black paper,
so before I start with that one I am shopping around trying to
find comparable black paper. I do have a question about whether it
is really necessary to include a table of contents. I personally
do not see the need for this in either the digital or flat formats
as it just amounts to an additional page. What does everyone else
think? I also have to say that, now that we are on the verge of graduation,
I am getting more and more nervous about the job search. I think
what is most nerve-wracking is that I am considering going the freelance
route, which can mean a lack of steady income, but I think it will
offer more opportunities as well. I do like the idea of a steady
position, it has more security, but a steady position can also mean
that you develop a routine and grow stagnant. There are pluses and
minuses to both, so I guess I will just have to work this one out
on my own. Thanks! Author: Jeff Prentice

Subject: Re:Terri's Rough Draft
Message: the best thing to do ( i find) is read the mags I have been
recommending (how, print, comm arts) and see what path the successful
designers have taken - for example there was a big article on one
of the hottest designers now- peter buchanan-smith - where he went
to school, what he has published, who he has worked for - and it
was interesting because after i read about his book "speck" that
he published as a student I happened to see it on sale at B and N
and picked it up -
freelance is good for certain things like building a broad client base
- but there are no bennies or other perks...working for a company can
be a dead end OR it may lead to working up the ladder to an art director
position...u dont need a TOC...and the port looks great and is beautifully
presented - BTW AIO helps u find work dont they?

Subject: John's final portfolio
Attachment: JD_final_portfolio_strip.jpg
Message:Okay this has seriously kicked my butt. I had technical difficulties
as well so I couldn't properly resize the images the way I needed to, which
means some of them are kind of crappy looking. It's going to have to be something
I go back to and redo as soon as my computers are worked on, which will be
right after this class is over.Anyway I finally settled on a way to present
everything after much experimentation and frustration. Still needs tweaking
but it'll do for the moment. For the photo montage pieces, I included thumbnails
of the original images used, and I regarded some of the Navistar pieces as
montages, which I hadn't done previously even though they are technically
montages. I will also be changing the way each page is labeled for the real
portfolio, rather than the way they are labeled now which is per the directions
from Week 1 (i.e. Digital Layout versus Editorial Ad, etc.)I found that the
images aren't as crappy looking if I save the strip as a PDF, so I will post
it that way as well after I post this JPEG. Another reason is because I discovered
some minor errors in the JPEG version which are corrected in the PDF version.I
will have to get in the critiques etc. after work on Friday, sorry. This
part just took way longer than I had hoped it would. I haven't had a chance
to print it all out for the flat portfolio either, though I have all the
materials. That may also have to wait until my computers are working properly.okay
enough rambling....

Message:i think it looks great - you added image info, and i like the white
against blue - you get both color AND nuetral bg.and i like the addition
of the cover page - it lets me segue into hokkaidoId make the big sideways
labels grey or 50% opacity instead of black - the bigger the text, the more
powerful it becomes and it starts to conflict with the image - comps are
like being in a band - sometimes one guy has to turn down his amp (: JP

Subject: Terri's Final Portfolio (spreads)
Attachment: TMichalski_FinalPortSpreads.jpg
Message:I am posting this in two ways, one as spreads (833 K) and one as
single pages(1.86 MB), this way you all can see both details and how it flows
in booklet format as intended. I did not make all that many changes to this
presentation, just small tweaks in alignment and such, though I have been
thinking about making more revisions like looking at a landscape format and
expanding the corporate identity pieces to each be one spread on their own
so that I can include a few of the other collateral pieces that were created
for each. But that is all for another day.Thank you everyone for all of your
help in putting this together. If you ever need anything, feel free to drop
me a line!Thanks!Terri

Message:looks great - I feel as if I am leafing thru the april edition of
communication arts (:nice use of nuetral colors and playful typography for
the labels. The grid is utilized well for organizing all that info - I like
the right and left justifying of the desc text...there is a lot of work here!
The overlapping is smart for displaying all the brochure and identity work
