Digital Portfolio

I have included my complete digital portfolio within this post and I am very proud of all of these pieces of work. This digital portfolio includes my magazine cover, my double page spread, my visual mix tape, my logo design, my typography tour, my graphic designer CV and the covering letter I created. 

Presentation

I designed a 6 slide PowerPoint presentation about presentation and communication skills and I used this PowerPoint to display my confidence and communication skills. This PowerPoint received a number of plaudits from my colleagues as my body language, communication and voice tone were all praised. My colleagues told me that my body language and relaxed presentation style made it easier to learn from my PowerPoint. 

I made sure that my PowerPoint and presentation remained interesting because I was presenting similar information to the two people that had presented before me, this is why it may have been challenging to keep people interested when they have already heard this information. I tried to get my audience involved in the presentation therefore keeping them interested, I did this by asking them questions and applying the subject of Presentation skills to our place of work. The only piece of negative feedback I got from my colleagues was that I didn't make sufficient eye contact with the audience, my colleagues told me I spent too much time looking at Sarah and I believe this was because I knew that she was assessing my presentation. Therefore if I were to re do my presentation I would make sure that my body language, voice tone and interesting PowerPoint remain the same however I will try and make more eye contact with my audience to make sure they remain interested.  

Creative Designer CV

I researched a number of CV's from Graphic Designer's and these inspired me to design my own Creative CV. I have included my skills, contact information and a small bit of information about myself. I believe the colour scheme I used along with my picture reflects myself and my personality well.
