I had my portfolio presentation this week and it was one of those things that put me out of my comfort zone. I don’t like speaking in front of people as I get very nervous and talk quite fast and quiet, and even if I’ve prepared a speech I end up messing it up.
I enjoyed preparing my portfolio and as I put my best and favourite samples in from Print, Knit and Weave and I was able to see my samples all together in a collection, I’ve noticed my work improve over the year and was able to discover that weave was my strongest work because it was full of creativity and detail because of the added work into the actual sample piece. I have enjoyed weave this year as I'm not restricting myself with experimenting and I really like the final samples so far.
I put some silhouette designs from Print into my portfolio I really liked how the samples looked in the silhouettes and below is a picture of the designs.
The presentation went well I think. I walked in calmly and just was myself as I knew I had to be myself because that’s who people want to see – someone with artistic skills and a passion for what they do. I enjoyed talking through my work and I was able to understand my work myself through talking to someone else about it. It’s given me more experience and practise for future job interviews.
