Today was a good day. We talked about my website and my pdf portfolio. The conversation went pretty good, I think it's also because I had quite a few things to show him. I have a lot left to do, but they are small things in details to touch up here and there.
Website;
For the website we talked about changing the background colour a little bit because the colours were clashing and it was difficult to read.
There were some disagreements, in my head.. I didn't tell him because at the end of the day this is my portfolio and I should be able to represent me in the best form I think its possible. Rob really enjoyed the fact that I had the sentence of "I want to inspire people and change the way they think." He spoke about how it really shows my personality and this is about me who I am. Alec also said that is the best part of the whole paragraph. Derek on the other hand wasn't so keen on it. This is where it's my opinion to know what's best for me. If I took of their opinions in and tried to please everyone I would become a serious MESS.
Furthermore, we discussed about how I have too many things on my pages, so narrow it down a little.
PDF Portfolio;
Once again here, it was about the small things. He pointed out some important things, which I will say considered, but I didn't use... I know my mistake. Things such as grids and margins would be useful to allow me to focus my work more and make it neater of course done in InDesign.
We also spoke about my sizing of the fonts, it's a good idea to use multiples of 3.
Something important that he also mentioned which I totally forgot about is having my name and website at the bottom of each slide to remind them who I am and where they can find more about my work.
