MAKING A START ON MY PORTFOLIO

Started to make my Portfolio for university today and hit a giant mental block of what to put in and what works well as a page. i am really struggling as this one thing is the decider for the rest of my life and i cant help but worry.

All week i have been taking photos of my work and cleaning them up ready but now its time to start it im not happy with my work. 

So heres a start. Tell me what you think, too plain? too boring? 

HELP!!!!

NATURAL FRAMEWORK

This project was based on natural framework with the outcome of a skirt for textiles, a piece of body armor for 3D, a number of lino and etching prints for fine art and finally four postcards one for each season for graphics. we looked at artists such as Stefan Sagmeister and Nadia Flower. i enjoyed this project as it was challenging and linked to life drawing. 

Here are some off my outcomes;

NEWQUAY

So every year for the past 13 years me and my family go down to Newquay for the family holiday. We have the usual family holiday where my younger brother is in the pool all holiday, dad sits in the bar watching the sports and mum reads her book complaining it's too warm, and me well i do anything to get away with them. Where we stay has a great beach with amazing views. the sunsets over the hills and into the water, its fascinating. i can't help myself when i'm down there than to go 'happy snapping' every night.

Here are my favourite four photographs from the previous years;

FMP PROJECT, BRITISH CULTURE -GRAPHICS

For my final major project with culture i chose to do the British culture of the 1980' with the Punk scene being the main influencer. The mediums i used for this project were not ones i am used to using such as screen printing, spray painting and collage.i enjoyed using new techniques but took a while to understand the stencilling process of detailed images. This project had so many outcomes but for Graphics we had to make a poster to go into the TATE Gallery. My final piece consisted of scans of all my prints, placed in a thumbnail layout with the body text at the bottom. The artists i studied for this project were; Craig Michael Martin, Jamie Reid and Patrice Poch. these artist influenced everything i did within this project as their work and mine are very alike.

Here are just some of my outcomes;
