Make it Nice

Moving your print work into a digital portfolio can become a major project in itself. This will take time, patience, and the correct technology to digitize your print work to the best possible quality for your portfolio. In our book Designing a Digital Portfolio by Cynthia L. Baron, she describes how to catch the eyes of people who judge our digital portfolios.
When turning your print work into a digital portfolio you must take into account the people who will be critiquing your work. Sine you will not have your original printed work at hand, these “people will judge you by two criteria: image quality- sharpness, cleanness, size, and speed and image appropriateness- whether what you’ve chosen to show actually helps them judge your work.” (pg. 102)
When collecting your work it is important to make sure all of your work looks at its best. You must take into consideration your layout, size of image, lighting, and resolution. One book that will help us to adjust to the design times is a book called Building Design Portfolios. This book helps us best display our work while keeping up with the fads and fashions that are changing everyday.
In order to stand out in one particular area the author of Building Design Portfolios, Sara Eisenman, tells us to redesign some well-known arts and try to stand out with these great designers. This will help show enthusiasm in your work and aid in the judging of your designs.
