Caitlin Steele - Portfolio

Caitlin Steele came into college to show us her portfolio. Her portfolio was paper based with one digital piece, a Youtube video.

Caitlin Steele is studying Fashion Communications. Her portfolio was very small, she was telling us it needs to be constantly updated, no older than two years.

I thought this was completely different to the other portfolios we looked at because none of the other artists portfolio's we looked at mentioned keeping it up to date really.  I did not see her creative process in the same way as i did with the others and she did not have a sketch book, but she did have a brief description of the work on the back of it.





Her work was passed around the room, i liked that i actually got to hold and really look at a piece of work rather than a photo of the work on a screen. Again i think this changes the mood or connection you make with the work. I think for the type of art Caitlin produced the printed portfolio works well. Her portfolio also contained a youtube clip of an event she organised. I had never thought of having videos in a portfolio, but of course, why wouldn't you? and especially for this kind of work.

This report is a bit smaller that the others because i find myself repeating myself now i have explored a few... i am defiantly enjoying looking at a wide range of portfolio's and different ways and reasons as to why they are paper based or digital. It something i did not think of much, but now something i have a better understanding of!

When i was a kid, i got asked to produce a drawing that expressed Autumn, the winner got the work in a calendar for the school. I worked and i worked on this drawing, expressing my feelings of Autumn. I won. I told my Mum and Dad that they could buy the calendar with my work in it, i was so proud. I showed my parents my work, and although they were happy for me told me they that although it was good, my sister's new drawing of a bird was better... more realistic. Through out all of my childhood and teenage years, i was told i was not as good as my sister and to this day i still do. I would constantly compare my work to hers, and eventually i gave up art completely. I had a pang of jealousy when i would see other peoples art work, and suppress the jealous feeling towards my sister and the anger i felt towards my parents. I felt even more guilt and as i grew i built up this wall around myself, i put on a mask of a confident girl, who did not feel jealousy, sadness or frustrat...

Dada Collage part 2

I released i was trying to copy Hannah Hoch's    Das Schone Madchen/ beautiful girl collage instead of understanding it so i decided to research the artists and this peace of work i found out this is a photomontage made in the 1920's that deals with gender issues amidst the dawning of Germany’s New Woman. the hair and womans body is looking at beauty trends and expectations in women of that time and the Car parts are contrasting with the way society looks at women, even today. I started noting similarities in what i felt Hoch was trying to say was the modern women in the 20's and what is a modern woman today. trying to keep similar colours and tone, i chose a modern day hair style as well as a measuring tape and lipstick to suggest modern day female beauty standards, i chose the black and white woman at the top for minimalism but put the iconic 2015 brows over the top, i kept the BMW badge but c hanged it to the 2015 one as i felt their is still an ...

View point Task 1.

Conduct market research into the range of publications available for the target age group . Free and for sale. Contemporary and historical sources - visual and non - visual.  I wanted to start my research with a range of publications. At this point i am unsure where i am going / what i want to do so i thought i would just start with exploring a wide range of publications as the brief says to try and find my interest. I started with a well known magazine that 18 - 30 year olds would look at, i thought about interests and started with fashion.  Vogue  I liked this cover above because it is very minimal, and i think that is more stylish and clean looking. I like the black and white look and the muted tones in it, like the title 'Vogue' i think works really well with the black and white. The magazine usually has more type in it.... I thought this was a good example of what an issue of vogue usually looks like, it is still quite minimal and loo...
