Portfolio: Research

 Before Internet it was harder to introduce your work. However it wasn't impossible. Artists on the whole world had to create printed portfolios to could share them with others. Despite the fact that the internet now makes everything easier printed portfolios are still in use. 

To create good portfolio it is important to keep everything easy to understand, clean and thoughtful. We add things that introduce our work from the very begging to the final outcome. It makes people help more understand your work and become more familiar. However, we dont have to add everything we have ever created. It is good idea to show your way of thinking and also the most interesting ideas and unique and creative works. 

Here are some examples of good portfolios that I liked:

- 'Brain' portfolio by TeYosh Studio - HEART-BRAIN-Portfolio

I liked that they included few versions and variations of the work and pieces of work. I think it is good idea and important to show every aspect of your work. I f thing is 3D show front, back, top and bottom. You can try different environments and zoom in to show material better.

I also liked here the hole style of portfolio. It looks like ides of book or raw book. They connected edges by  screws which I find out interesting. Also colors was nice. For my portfolio I decided to keep it simple and go with colours that I choose for my brand identity. 

I also liked that portfolio was created in some kind of retro/vintage style. Here are some pictures of theirs portfolio. You can watch all by clicking on link on the top. 

- The second portfolio that I like was the 'Self Promo' by Dyla Rosli. - Portfolio-Self-Promo

What is different here that I always thought about portfolio as a book with pictures. Some kind of the album. Rosli shows that is not always the book. She created a portfolio that promotes herself as an artist in the leaflet style. It is harder to create , because you have to keep everything in minimal, however it is good exercise to think what works you would like to consider the most. I liked the idea, however I do not think it is way that I would like to present my portfolio.
