  1. Project Corrections / Time spent: 120 minutes total. 20 minutes refining the edge on the masked, Photoshopped image on the flyer. 15 minutes scaling the quote and fixing the border on the photo montage. 15 minutes tweaking the colors and adjusting the grayscale on my Winterwood logo design. 20 minutes adjusting and reworking the levels of blue on the photo design winter picture. 20 minutes changing the spacing for some of the text on the Mountainside Yoga Retreat event ad. 30 minutes making various brochure improvements including reworking the line spacing and alignment on the inside of the brochure, changing the rectangle pictures on the inside to bleed off the edge, and nudging the alignment of the text on the cover so it better aligns with the entire design when closed.

    Great portfolio! I like how your color scheme and the chevron design that you used on each page.I also think that your title and body fonts work really well together. I did have one question: in the chevron design at the bottom of the page, is it larger on the right than on the left? I couldn’t tell if it was an optical illusion or intentionally larger on one side. Really great job!

    I also really liked Fiorald’s portfolio which you can see here: https://fiorald.wordpress.com/2016/04/02/project-9-portfolio/

      Ele, it’s an optical illusion. I kept pulling out my rulers to make sure everything was straight. In the end, I decided it was visually interesting anyway, so I kept it.
