Week 1 – Portfolio (Step 1)

For instructions on how to submit a post, please follow these instructions: https://openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu/mmp460-s2022/posting-on-open-lab/. FORMATTING FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT: Use the title format “[FirstName] [LastName] portfolio step 1” and select the Category “Week 1 – Portfolio (Step 1)”

Gather, organize and describe (see Portfolio checklist section on week1 of the class website) the projects you want to feature in your portfolio. Make sure each file has a meaningful name (i.e: NOT untitled1.jpg). Create a Word or Google Doc document for the descriptions and “About” section (case study is optional). Everything should be placed in a single folder and shared via URL in the Reply box of this discussion.

If you are already using an online platform for your portfolio, you may submit the URL instead of the folder described above. Make sure each piece has a description. Include any piece that currently isn’t on your site and that you are thinking of adding.

This is the first step of the portfolio assignment (worth 15% of your total grade – see grading rubric here). In the coming weeks, you will edit and format your work. The final version is due on week 14. You will be asked to show progress on this project throughout the semester.

Week 1 – Portfolio Step 1

Hi, I’m Mary Paulino. I’m passionate about digital design, illustration, and multimedia storytelling. My favorite projects involve creating logos, posters, and packaging that combine creativity with clear communication. I enjoy experimenting with layouts and typography to craft designs that are both meaningful and visually appealing. My goal is to build a career developing visual content for campaigns and media projects, especially in areas that inspire creative storytelling.

This portfolio features a selection of my past work and drafts of new pieces. There are a lot of other pieces I plan on adding and would like to add, and will continue refining. The “About Me” section and “project descriptions” are not yet finalized, but there is a rough draft of them here.

Karla Peguero: Portfolio Step 1

Hi, I have a portfolio that mostly includes my graphic design work that I created last semester in my Visual Communication class. Here’s the link:

I’m interested in becoming a UI/UX Designer, but I’ve discovered that I really enjoy graphic design. Understanding its principles is extremely helpful to become any kind of designer. I have not created many UI projects yet, but I plan to add them to my portfolio in the future. Here’s the link for the one UI/UX project I’m most proud of:

Justin Hawthorne – Portfolio (Step 1)

PRIMARY PORTFOLIO

Justin Hawthorne, Game Designer in Queens, NY

I made this portfolio format a long time ago and I’ve lazily kept it updated every time I have new projects by just placing them in the categories. I would like to reorganize and reprioritize what I’m showing. Many of these projects were some of the first things I ever tried to make so a lot of it may not represent what I’m capable of now well. Early on I was also not great at documenting my process so I would like to add a lot more detail for exactly what it was that I was doing at the time and how I created the pieces. Most importantly I’ve made more games and some animations in recent classes that I would like to incorporate.

Samantha Ortiz Portfolio Step 1

https://samantharortiz.myportfolio.com

I would like to add additional projects from last semester which include a multimedia project and some ux design work. Overall I want to work on adding better descriptions for the projects I’m keeping and remove some things from my portfolio that aren’t my strongest work. Basically I want to reorganize and refresh my whole portfolio.

Dvash Fomby Portfolio Step 1

https://dfomby.github.io/portfolio/index.html

This is a link to my portfolio website. I want to improve my ‘about me’ section so that it’s more personalized but still includes my goals as a designer. I’m also thinking about removing one of my projects (the one about the solar panel company), as it’s a weaker project in comparison to my personal projects. I also want to add more subtle illustrations in my website. Lastly, I think my footer could use improvement.

I would like to improve the written descriptions for each project. Right now, many works are presented mainly as visuals with short explanations. I plan to expand these descriptions to clearly explain the goals of each project, the process behind them, the challenges I faced, and the solutions I developed. This will help better communicate my thinking and overall learning outcomes, not just the final result.

India’s Portfolio

https://indiafportfolio.carrd.co
My entire site has a huge layout/formatting issue and it’s just too big on desktop, so I’ll be changing that. I should make it have a clear interface and add new descriptions for a few of my classwork and personal projects.
My goal is to add more artworks with backgrounds this year for my portfolio.
