I haven't had much time to reflect on my wanna be graphic designer attempt. I think designing my own portfolio book fed my need to be OCD.
Not without regrets. Not being involved in the actual printing process made my glitches extra vulnerable, and did not give me the option to fix them after I sent it out to print. I should have known to spare a little room at the spine edge of the pages. But alas, I learned this now for next time.
I think I want to grade myself, since nobody else
really is. I guess I'll start from 100. 100
The spine edge room I didn't spare -5
The one layout where I started the text a couple of
centimeters off the guide (I should've caught that). -5
The fact that I got frustrated and sent it to get printed
before I had a chance to give one of my co-designers
credit for one of the projects. That's a big eff up!!
(Moe forgive me). -10
The word "mystical" has an "i" and not a "y" after the
"t." And It's called spell check! -5
One irrelevant extra space between 2 words that did
not need and extra space. ughh -3
Learning how to get rid of one big nasty glare in one
of the photos and doing it well. +5
For pushing myself to finish this book! +5
--------
= 82
wow, it's hard to vertically line up numbers with this blogger template!!
Hahaha. I couldn't stomach the fact that I gave myself only a 72 so I added ten extra points for things I think I should gain extra credits for. 82 is a B-, I can live with that.
