Portfolio Research (Advanced Professional Practice)

Portfolio Research (Advanced Professional Practice)

A Portfolio is a compilation of creative works to project one's skill to a potential employer. It is a sort of pre-resume for designers to portray their work to people that would be their future employers. It give the sort of preview of what that designer is capable of design and work to give the first impression to the viewer and also help them gauge the skills of the designer.

Creative portfolio is a portfolio that is presented creativity to spark interest to the person viewing.

After researching and looking at examples of creative portfolio. I need to sketch and create my own portfolio, name card and resume.

Logo Creation (Graphics Design 3 Part 2)

Logo Creation (Graphics Design 3 Part 2)

In collaboration with APP (Advanced Professional Practice) the logo creation is supervised by the module leader of Graphic Design 3. Here are the process of creation of the logo from the finalized version to the experimentation.

This is the finalized design of the logo and scaling of 100% - 70% - 50%

A few experimentation on the design is done to test the visibility of the design and changing of colours to test the results.

After a few test on different coloured background it appears that dark colour background does not go well with the current colour scheme of the logo.

The module leader suggested to change the colours in the circles to find a fix and after some time of thinking I decided to change the colour to grey.

Here the design is much more clear when put on a dark background. Another suggestion where received where I was asked to change the lines from black to white to see the difference.

While making the design another lecturer try suggesting that to remove the white circles as an experiment.

This are the few steps of experimentation done throughout the logo creation process

Introduction Video (Advanced Professional Practice)

Introduction Video (Advanced Professional Practice)

For the introduction of the students, we decided to make a video instead to save cost. For this project each student will have their own methods to making that video.

Each student will be given a time frame of 2 - 3 minutes, in that 2 - 3 minutes the student will have to think and plan their own way how they want to shoot the video to introduce themselves to the audience. In the video they are required to:

• Explain themselves
• Explain the topic they are focusing on
• Explain the project that they are doing in brief

With the total of 10 students the video will be estimated to be around 30 minutes. And with 10 student each shooting in their own way, we can see the different styles of shooting and personality of 10 different students.

Discussion (Advanced Professional Practice)

Discussion 7th March 2016 (Advanced Professional Practice)

Last week 29th February 2016 - 4th March 2016 a discussion is held for the selection of the logo design 5 design were shown:

Logo 1

Logo 2

Logo 3

Logo 4

Logo 5

And the one which was selected was Logo 1 due to the design of the lines and circles which was revealed to be a reference to the microchip design. However a feedback was given on the blue box in the middle and what purpose does it fulfill. It was then explained as to show the microchip board but the idea was not really appealing and was asked to remove it leaving only the Typeface and the design of the lines and circles.

Amendment were made and 3 design were shown again to the module leader on 7th March 2016

Logo 1 v2

Logo 2 v2

Logo 3 v2

After some time another discussion is held again with the module leader and finalized the logo design for the event. During the discussion with the module leader Logo 1 v2 was selected but the logo still need some refining in terms of colours but the design is accepted. Here are a few alterations done on that sessions

Logo Process 1

Logo Process 2

In this process more black spots were inserted to make the word "EXPO5E" more visible on a white background and later, change the background to a darker colour to test the visibility. 

The results is as shown therefore this is not a viable design and some tweaking is needed. 

Logo 1 Scaling

This is a scaling of the Logo 1 on 100%, 70% and 50%. One thing I found out about this design is up close the characters E X P O 5 E is not very visible but when in a distance the typeface is then more visible.

Logo 2 Scaling

This is the scaling process for the Logo 2 which has the extra black spots. 

After some time looking and comparing the 2 logos, the module leader still prefer Logo 1 and now an experimentation on coloured background is needed.

In the end the colour scheme on the logo needs to be changed to enable much better vision with different coloured background.

In addition to that, a later discussion was on the position of the committee on Art Director, Copywriter and Production.

Here is the new roster:

President: Mirmo
