"So tell me a little bit more about yourself,"

Right now I'm in my second year of college for my associates in art. My previous job experience includes waitress-ing at a small Thai restaurant and a smoothie cafe in the gym on my college campus. I've also worked at a Mariano's grocery store and with my uncle during the summers as an extra hand with painting houses' interiors and exteriors. Overall I gained valuable experience in learning how to talk to people professionally and honing my time management skills as well as multitasking and organization. My current job is in an office setting and what really drew me to that was the opportunity to gain experience in the corporate world. I hope to work for myself in the future and at this job I am learning about social customs in business and what goes into running a business in general. Thanks for listening, here's my business card (? How do I end this?)

(because I want to open an online shop in the future. I'm thinking prints and stickers and idk what else.  maybe I should make a layout for a commissions sheet or the website itself? - cover for my portfolio; signature - on-going project: stickers. Create a sticker sheet. (layout element) Theme: snowboard stickers; link to list ...

Portfolio Layouts

A Good Portfolio Layout       takes into consideration the relationship between audience and creator. If the creator is a website designer, then it's more effective to make the portfolio interactive like a website than, say, a book. It also integrates the elements of design to make it easy to understand. Take these helpful tips that illustrate what those are:      Here's an example of a layout that was "popular" in 2016, according to this website ; I think it'd still be quite popular today, too.       Here are some examples of documents that aren't portfolios, but incorporate those elements of design, like repetition, hierarchy of colors and typefaces. A sense of unity is key to creating a good portfolio. If the folios were separated, it would be easy to put them back together because they look similar. I like these in particular because  From left to right:  Lone Wolf mag ,  Erica Kitamura ,...
