Project Two WIP 2.0

Hey, it's almost midnight! Thursday nights are great somehow.
Here's what I'm thinking for my "background,"

I was inspired by the song, Tummy Treasures by 2ToneDisco and Ducky.
(I just found this SICK remix by someone else!)
But it'd be really cute looking foods in a grid behind my profile photo:

I really want to Andy Warhol this...I might

for my student art exhibit submission.

Of course arranged in a certain way...
I'm having trouble with the layout of the individual icons; I thought I might have this problem, but the banner is too wide and short for a 3x5 like I wanted. Here are some variations of my process deciding on a layout:

2x5 (this was the second variation I tried)

3x7 (this was the third variation)

3x8 (this was my first variation and it didn't go

so well since the last row didn't line up well)

I'm thinking for the sake of time and my sanity, I'll have to do the 2x5. That way, my icons will be big enough to see behind my prof pic, I can really choose my top ten foods, and I can put a little detail into each one.

That's all I got so far!

I might try again for my project 5, but is that like copying his idea? I could just redo my infograph resume anyway. How could i make it better, then? Mo graciously provided me with some advice to look on Behance.com for ideas for our portfolios and self branding and stuff. Some other ideas for project 5: - redo p1 - more food icons (ref. p2) (ethnic foods maybe; Japanese? I could do a mixture of my heritage; Chinese, Thai, and Filipino! - business card? logo/brand? (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 ,...
