What’s up everyone?
Hopefully all your presentations went well. I know saw some pretty interesting
looking projects as I was walking around the building this week. I know
everyone is looking forward to winter break, I know I can’t wait for it to get
here. Four weeks of relaxation and doing nothing sounds pretty phenomenal right
now.
This
is the last blog post of the semester, and today I’m going to talk about making
sure you document you projects. You’ve probably heard from all your professors
throughout the years, but make sure that you save all your sketches, and
AutoCAD and Revit files, so when it comes time to do your portfolio you have
all the images that you’ll need, and it be good to put them all in one place
to, to make it easier on you. Also make sure that you are taking good pictures
of your models so that you can put them into your portfolio with minimal
editing. A way to do this is when you are talking photographs of you models put
them against a solid white of black background so that it easily blends in with
the color of your pages, or it makes it easier to delete the image background.
I’m telling you all this because when putting my portfolio together for grad
school applications, there were a few projects form freshman and sophomore year
that I wanted to use, and had to go through all my flash drives and my old
computer trying to find them because I had absolutely no idea where they were.
On top of that the picture that I had to retake some pictures of my models
because they just weren’t good. Keeping track of everything you’ve done will
make putting together a portfolio a lot less stressful and cut down on the time
it takes to put it together.
I
hope everyone had fun this semester, and has a good winter break, and I will
see you all again next semester.
