Learn how to create your own portfolio from the organization, brief position analysis, and tips on how to put together a cohesive, brief, and straightforward sampling of each artist's work.
First, you will learn to understand what constitutes a good portfolio, and what elements should be in it. We will take you through the steps of putting together a portfolio.
Then we will cover what the content of each piece of work in the portfolio should look like. How to show the work, how to describe it, and how to give credit fairly.
We will look at different portfolios to understand possibilities for the layout and sampling of projects.
Finally, we will have suggestions for putting together an online portfolio, and a frequently asked questions session on the topic of portfolios.
The project of the course is to organize your portfolio with up to three projects to be published online, plus the creation of an about you page and a contact page.
No previous knowledge is required. Just projects to put together a portfolio.
