Online portfolio

I have started an online portfolio as I needed one to send to Camberwell College of Arts.

For this I have had to create an Flickr account:

So far I have selected a few pictures which I need to narrow down to 10 images, and for each image I need to give a description of it.

Universities

I'm still indecisive about what I want to do when I finish college, so I have applied to some Universities.
My choices are:
Coventry University, Graphic Design
University for the Creative Arts; Epsom, Graphic Design
University of the Arts London; London College of Communication, Graphic and Media Design: Advertising
University of the Arts London; Camberwell, Graphic Design
University of the Arts London; St. Martins, Graphic Design

Website layout

I am now designing my website layout, and have decided to go for a simple design, with nude/natural colours. And mainly have bold text and will be easy to navigate round.

Experimenting with patterns

For this I had to scan in the textures I made before hand, and create a path so the texture could be used as this models dress. The focus of this task was experimenting with patterns and I also gained experience on photoshop.

Choices

I am currently looking at what I want to do when finishing this course. 


My first choice is traveling/gap year;

My other two choices are full-time University or Apprenticeship Uni 

The universities I am looking at are Coventry, Southampton...

Saving images for web

I exported the images to the folder name 'year 1 web backup' > opened them in photoshop changed the image size and in some cases changed the canvas size to merge the two sides togeth

Website designs

 

above are my sketches of website designs, from these i have decided i want a 
more illustrative website design, although there are a few graphic styles i like.




i like this style website, as on my home page
it shows a variety of my my work, mainly 
collages, ripped up. it also has some ripped lined
paper for me to write a introduction about myself
on, and to contain the header which will be my 
name the navigation buttons, which will be 
instantly recognisable. this style website will be
 more illustrative than computer style, which is 
what i wanted to achieve. all the pages of this 
website will be in a similar style, with the use of 
collage. 

the image above is of a design with text and 

hand-drawn illustrative images, it'd be a simple 

idea, with plain colours. this design doesn't 

really stand out to me and i don't enjoy doing 

illustrations, and would prefer to do collages.
