Work in Progress*

Now all the information is present, I’m currently working on the typographical hierarchy of my PDF portfolio. The fields within the grid have helped tremendously.

Creating the ePortfolio (PDF) has been quite invigorating, having the chance to place my own work into editorial format. There are a few final tweaks required before i upload. At present i have the final grid layout, images, page numbers, sub titles and some body text, just those important captions to place and the navigation.

I’m also working on the first page, i prefer to leave the best to last. Here is the typographic treatment i may use to introduce the showcase, other graphics will support this:

Many graphic design vacancies, as well as requesting a resume, ask for a PDF Porfolio, creating this was going to be inevitable. Now i have the main structure, it’s time to tweak and modify (and take out those nasty hyphens).

The reel is an interesting concept, but i’m still unsure as to whether or not it is successful. On the other hand working with InDesign enables a selection of interactive components when exported as a PDF. With this in mind, to be user friendly, clear navigation would give ease of use. I don’t want to go too far with the PDF as this is a work sampler.

Here is a selection of experimental compositions. These pieces were created through an initial stage of research. Looking at feminism within editorial and manipulation, forcing the idea of communication within women’s magazines.

Here are a few spread examples from the Art Book published on the blog early last month.

Cloning, genetical modifications and cosmetics.

Today I was informed by Federico Díaz Mastellone, all the way from Argentina, that my work has been used on Swissmiss. The work used is my Art Book work, an older post, which has became a popular piece considering it is self-initiated play.

Also Federico Díaz Mastellone, a graphic designer who writes for the blog ‘El Burlador,’ discovered my work on Swissmiss.

Federico commented: “it´s very-very interesting, congratulations! So, I decided to write a little article about it, in my blog.”

The translation is not very clear. Referring to me as a he is quite amusing.
