As I start to prepare to finally throw together my portfolio, I've been having a lot of issues with my chosen route to introduce myself to employers. I want to be noticed, but I have an immense social fear (due to my social anxiety) of coming off either stupid, egocentric, or pushy and thinking that I'm better than I really am. I am extremely quiet and reserved, rather indecisive, I don't really like judgement, I perceive and more than I judge things. Though, I do have a really big fear that is the main source of my social anxiety and that is the fear of being judged or looking stupid. I fear sending emails to people, always thinking the worst of what they might say and assuming they won't help me, and I've found my irrational fear is probably stupider than how I look to other people. I will get nowhere if I don't push myself, but it feels a little unnatural for me to send random emails out to companies to introduce myself as an artist, as much as I wan't to be out-there and known.
I've revised a few of my logos from last week, I've looked at perhaps changing some of the logos around, fixing the text, making some aspects of the CatBat bigger, like the ears, whiskers and paws so it was more apparently a cat and less like the Batman logo. I made a regular business card, illustration on the back, logo on the front.
And the logos as the bats on their own (to be cut out like bats, but I think the traditional square business cards work most effectively)
For my main portfolio, I came up with a basic layout of how I want my imagery presented. I want to show the main piece, with the adjacent piece showing the process of how I got there. I don't have all the pieces complete yet, so I filled in where they're going to go with grey boxes.
Apart from my portfolio layout and the logos/business cards, I have also been working on a website layout for the portfolio site I am making in Alanna's Digi class.
