Portfolio Re-design Fall 2010

Because of having a little free time to myself, it was time for me to sit down and re-organise my portfolio which meant getting in the studio and re-shooting my work and then editing images and a few hours of photoshop and indesign. I’m almost there in the hope of taking to some interviews soon.

The top photo is an extract of Fidelity book, the middle is a pile of ‘scumbag” totes and the bottom is a screen printed poster from the fidelity speed dating night, all from my final major project which ended in June.

Speed date Night 17/05/10

Fidelity|6.0 Speed Dating

Because of this issue dealing with the issues of people getting together as described by the couples who have made it successfully into a relationship, a further study of this area could be conducted by creating an relationship based event where the documentation of what works and what doesn’t is documented. In this case speed dating seems the logical choice to get single people together and allow them to interact with each other in a controlled environment to see if this allows people to meet potential partners. Organisation of a speed dating night involves gaining access to a venue, single people and basic materials in order to make the night work. In this case the Bucks New University student union was booked up for 17th May because of its access to tables, space a bar and music.

Flyers and posters were distributed accordingly.

Please & Thankyou Book - It looks a lot better on film

Georgie's hands, My Canon A1

I wanted to re-shoot the book in order to add to my PDF portfolio to send out to various people.

I hope it makes the book look a better with the combination of the rustic uncoated paper it's printed on.
