Today was a day with finalising little touches on my portfolio. I have come to the conclusion that you just need to stop and say no more. I can spend forever doing the portfolio, however, the submission also require different elements..

Even though for me this looked quite good. I hadn't looked at it for a while and I realised how many things I had repeated, so I took them out and made the work more minimal on the web-page. Furthermore, I made it neater by allowing it to breathe by breaking the work apart and giving it space.

Beautiful Bulgaria;
This project had overall a lot of work displayed. A lot of it was showing two versions of the work but in portrait and landscape, instead I decided instead of showing both versions, show the versions they haven't seen in the opposite position. Condencing the work and editing the copy was the main transformation in this web-page.

Once again this project was about condensing the work. Furthermore, I touched up some of the copy and extended my mock-ups to allow it to speak better towards the audience.

The coconut show;
I was stuck on this and what to do about it to improve it. From the beginning I did not know how to really show it coming to live, after all the physical interaction showed this enough. I decided not to do anything on it and see what kind of feedback I get from my portfolio review.
The O2;
This is a very heavy project, many things happened and can still be extended. I decided to take everything away and show three main images for each story as it is after all three word short poems. Furthermore, Rob told me to change some of the mock ups as they weren't quite pleasant to see, such as posters in the toilets. I decided to change it with some food mock ups.

Not much changed with this project. I added some more mock ups to allow it to take it's own place in the real world.

Overall;
I have reached the point of people telling me how to change my portfolio due to their likes and personalities. At the end of the day whether it's about colours or fonts, it's my portfolio, so I need to make sure it represents me. I think that a portfolio can always be made better and changed. I kind of get the point of having someone else doing your work, because you cans pend your whole time onto it. As your personality changes to will your preferences and you'll change it visually again.
