Assignment 03
Portfolio: Editing & Documentation

A crucial step to designing your portfolio is editing. Your job this week is to critically evaluate and organize your work. Document your work by photographing, scanning, or rendering your final pieces. Have your portfolio designed in full. We will discuss your design system, pacing, and work quality. Have specific questions in mind to make the most of your review. Our meetings will be one-on-one this week. Your portfolios will be presented digitally. Consider how this medium can be leveraged to create a unique experience. My suggestions: Keep it simple, display the work in the best possible manner, and don’t let the design of the presentation overshadow the work itself.
