Portfolio

Portfolios are a big thing in the design industry. How else are employers going to see you skill work? Yes you have your resume, however, designers are visually driven. We like to SEE what your all about. So, since I will be graduating in May I have started a portfolio that I am sure will change once I get more projects done this semester.
Creating a portfolio can be done on any application. I think the best is probably Photoshop but I'm sure others would disagree and agree with me. You should always just use what you perform best with. It took me about a week to complete it since I don't have much work yet to show. It was definitely hard to choose a style and format that I wanted to use, but I think it looks pretty good so far.
Let me know what you think!

Weekend Shine

The weekend is over once again. Boo! This weekend my boyfriend and I made a spontaneous trip home to the Valley to watch the Canelo vs. Mayweather fight. Unfortunately Canelo lost, ugh  I don;t want to talk about it. However, before that we made a quick trip to the farmers market in the AM. I had missed going to the farmers market, I wanted to make it a routine back when I first started going but my boyfriend doesn't really like going with me. This week I am actually going to be focusing on projects and gathering my portfolio together for Student Symposium in October. Look forward to some portfolio posts everyone.

Since I didn't do a Weekend Shine last weekend I am compiling this week and last weeks together. Have a great week everyone!

My finds from this the J.Crew sale last week. I believe I got too many sweaters and its not even cold here yet. My excuse was that it is cold in my classes.

I finally got around to upgrading my bar cart. Goes to show what spray paint and storage can do!

Speaking of storage, I stocked up on some baskets last week so I can store my shoes and linens around the apt. It was getting a little messy and out of control. All of these baskets were from Ross and they were a great price!

Found this awesome ring on Etsy for my bestie and myself. Her's has her initial like this one. 

The Phillip Lim X Target collaboration finally came out this past Sunday. I made it a mission for myself to go out on "opening day" to get this bag! There was only one left when I got there.
