PPP Portfolio and Golden Studio interview

Image
Last week I received a DM from a lady called Catherine from Leeds based studio Golden (@togetherwearegolden), to say some representatives had attended our Out of Context exhibition for the COP practical work. This was the first I had heard of the studio as was a very affirming message to receive. She asked for my portfolio which of course instantly inspired panic as I didn't have one at all but I said I was updating it and would send it over asap. This was, of course, perfect timing due to the upcoming portfolio crit that happened yesterday and allowed me to get it all sorted way before the Tuesday.

@solchadwick By today we had to submit a summary of our 36 characters from start to finish. My set was eclectic and colourful as I had set out for with an interesting set of visual trends that picked up intermittently throughout either through unconscious design or coincidence. I displayed the full 36 on one tile, then a spelt out message 'THANK YOU 36 D.O.T" and then my top 3 most liked posts. Coincidentally 2 of the 3 top liked came from the set of number, maybe a reflection of my growing confidence, experimentation and time committed as the project progressed.  I think my response did certainly increase in complexity as the days passed and there were certainly some lulls in the middle as it became tricky to maintain a certain standard. I also found that attaching the letterforms to certain artists or movement and then tagging said artist/movement helped to generate likes from non-followers. I certainly found myself becoming increasingly immersed in the production of each ...
