DonovanMcnabb for H.O.F 2,241 Posted January 4, 2012 So yea... I am planning on transferring, and each school that I am sending an app to is asking for a portfolio of my Architecture work... And since I didn't want to have a plain regular portfolio book cover, I decided to photoshop one. It's still a work in progress, but I just wanted to post it to see and get some kinda Cnc. Cnc would be appreciated... lol.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
badgers 380 Posted January 4, 2012 Not bad. Maybe take away from the red and green cuz it's kind of distracting. It's cool idea but I think there's too much of those lines and dots. Maybe experiment with different colors instead of red/green too. Maybe silver and dark gray? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pwillie52 79 Posted January 4, 2012 I think everything is sick other than the Roman Pillars look a little weird to me. Maybe if you could fit the roof over it or something. Idk, just looks a little odd how its cut. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does Adrian not offer a 4 year program for architecture? Im not necessarily planning on transferring.. Yet. But yea, I'm sending applications to U of Michigan, Iowa St. and University of Illinois is Chicago. There's nothing wrong with Adrian, at least not a lot... It's just there 3 year plan is kinda lame, and it's too small of a school for me.... And I don't get any exposure. I might chose to stay at Adrian regardless though.

Guest Phailadelphia Posted January 4, 2012 I like it purely from an artistic standpoint although the red and green are super distracting (as badgers said). But if you're sending a portfolio to a school I'd probably try for something cleaner and more professional looking. That's just me though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's just that they told me that since im going into the undergraduate program, they are looking for our 'artistic creativity and mastery' in our portfolio, and I figured, this would be the best way. But I am definitely gonna try a more professional cover. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted January 4, 2012 I think you can be creative and artsy with the portfolio title while being clean at the same time. You don't want just "My Portfolio... By: XXXXXXX XXXXXXXX". You won't stand out at all. But I do think you need to turn it down a notch. It's a little over-the-top right now, IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Idk, just looks a little odd how its cut. Yea, my problem is I need to add some kinda architecture theme on it cause it would be kinda random. So I figured I mind as well throw some columns and a pediment, I tried fitting it all underneath, but that kinda looked awkward. lol. Thanks!

So i'll need to take some off, possibly change the color scheme as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
