I Want To Be MiMi

DDP Ch. 9:

Baron thoroughly discusses written content in chapter nine. She talks about what to write and why, what not to write and why and basically just what you really do not want to include in your portfolio i.e.: BAD GRAMMAR. Lousy spelling is definitely a BIG no no. So when deciding on what to write in your portfolio just keep in mind to make it short and sweet—there’s no need to linger on about a typography project when you can describe it in a maximum of two lines.

Baron says that “too much of what makes a good designer is in the decisions”. Well, I am the most indecisive person you will ever meet… so wish me luck in the design world!


BDP pgs. 94-194:

This week’s reading showcased a bounty of beautiful print portfolios. Each and every portfolio was different; from concept, design to color palette.

I REALLY liked Cooper Union graduate, Mimi Jung’s portfolio. She designed and laid out her work in a 2-sided poster that she folded up and put in a translucent folder. It’s such an easy and affordable idea—but also so sleek and modern. Jung’s web site also reflects her print portfolio design—very minimalistic and clean. I also liked Roxanne Zargham’s portfolio, which was also poster related. Hers was very cool.

I guess I have a thing for posters.
