I'm still alive and feeling refreshed to think I'll be out of school, free to go and choose any graphics job I want my hands on.
I came back from a portfolio review on Wednesday of last week. It left me a little lost as to what to do next, but I've been talking to a few people here and there, and that really got me thinking positively about the whole experience.
There were quite a number of things I needed to change (layouts, photo quality, project ideas) according to a few art directors I came face to face with. But the comment that really stood out for me was that I looked like I was "struggling" to decide whether I wanted to be an illustrator or a designer. It was a question that left me feeling puzzled in-front of this guy. I told him I don't know what I want to do. It's hard to say I want to do Illustration after all this work I put into being a designer. He asked me why I haven't really fully focused on being an Illustrator, I told him that I've heard It's a hard life. He said, "Well if you're good at it, there's no problem is there?"
I thought... good point...
So these last few days I've been thinking of different ways for my portfolio to look more like an illustrator who also does design.
I'm really excited and desperate to get this last bit of work done. These last few weeks will be used to aim for my best work, because after that, I'M DONE!
