It has now been several months of working on this latest project from which lots of imagery has been created. I’m ready to start compiling all of this information into portfolio spreads similar to what I did for the wharf project. Anyone that reads this blog knows that I love designing portfolio spreads and presentation boards. I like seeing all of the parts of an architectural project come together and the complexity information get organized into a single story. For this latest set of spreads, I followed suit with the wharf project and combined several styles of visualization in a single project. I prefer this approach of using different styles because it keeps things interesting and better engages the viewer. I also like to switch up the layout typology from spread to spread such as going from a full bleed illustration into a vertically based layout that then transitions into a horizontally based layout, etc. It can get difficult creating good flow from one spread to another with so much change in style so I use subtle moves to “connect” the pages. In this case, the same teal color was used in varying amounts to relate the pages as well as the same font style and size. It’s this dance between keeping the viewer engaged while not confusing them that generates a good portfolio design in my opinion.
