Final Presentation of Portfolio Press Pack 22nd March Art Studio

Well here we are. Almost finished the module and hopefully working towards the best portfolio you can produce with your designer. The final requirement includes the press release text along with your biography text finding its way to your designer. I have worked with a few of the group proofreading bios and press release. Contact me by email to get a quick response.


Photoshoots are still ongoing but should be completed by now. Posters are in the process of being printed as mock ups but will be reprinted as final once we know details of venues and dates.


The presentation will involve you and your designer showing not only the final product but an audit trail of your journey together. You may want to use the short  snapshot video blogs as evidence of this. (or photos of you and your designer at work)


Final submission (as per your booklet/brief)


Press Pack and related Moodboard,Logo design & Tshirt , A3 poster,Photographs, Press release,Biography, CD,DVD, evidence of another media format e.g. Website,T shirts...any research materials and short  snapshot video blog. Paperwork includes the initial booklet given out at the start of this module It has the contract within. If you require another copy please email me with this request. The important evaluation and reflection is at the back of this booklet and should also be submitted.


Feedback is also requested from your designer in relation to this project. Make sure your designer is prepared for a professional presentation on the 22nd March. 


Any queries please contact me by email. Helen.roger@uhi.ac.uk 


Thank you for all of your hard work.
Hope you are all well and look forward to seeing your final submissions. Regards Helen.

Happy New Year Everyone.

Welcome to the final part of your Personal Portfolio Module

Before the holiday break we enjoyed viewing some colleagues Snapshot presentations. We are now ready to see the rest of the group. If you did not present before Christmas please ensure that you and your designer/photographer are ready to take part on Tuesday at noon. Looking forward to seeing you and your project so far!

Hoping Mike Brown might join us.

Please remember:
The easiest way to show your preference in terms of styles of photography is to create a moodboard/inspiration sheet.  As requested, bring your photography likes and/or dislikes for discussion .
Please also meet with your designer/photographer and organise your production schedule for your photoshoot with a view to confirming dates that suit you both . 

The snapshot presentation will take place in the Art Studio and will entail you and your designer/photographer presenting (a) your logo design (T shirt template) (b) your final illustrated portrait and (c) your results from your photoshoot. All of the elements (a) (b) & (c) will be supported by moodboards,research and development evidence. The design process and audit trail of you project so far... should be clarified within the snapshot presentation. 

If it were me I would meet with my designer and run through the presentation. Good preparation will be apparent and enable good marks to be scored. Good Luck.

Next stage is pulling the poster designs together and your short promo video. Briefing to follow. 


Deadline for the poster design is 25th January.

Remember to record your video blog (use Photobooth or imovie) and collate all video blogs for submission at the end of the module.  

Regards Helen.
