Portfolio advice

A month ago I was given the project of my portfolio. As part of our portfolio development we have been asked to delve into the wide industry for criticism and advice to help improve our work showcase. This also gives me the option to keep in touch with people in the industry and make connections to aid me once I graduate.

Instead of sending an email, I decided to go down a different route. I personal love the post, and always receive a hint of joy when the letterbox goes. I hear a lot also, that many people in the design world enjoy snail mail too. So with an excuse to get my stamps out, I also thought I could make it a reason to break my inks open too.

So over the course of the week, I created a series of postcards. Hand set type took quite a while of time, but gave me a nice reason to learn my skills in the medium. It also took a lot of time to get the ink consistency right for the print, but after a few alterations I was pleased with the result. I am now waiting on the replies from the agencies that received these limited special prints.

If you had one through the post, please reply I would greatly like to meet you.
