There is also the fact of which I have 3D work also which I would like to show and in a physical portfolio there isn't a really great means of demonstrating that without having screen shots but due to most of the portfolios that I have looked at online and the information that I found was that having a digital portfolio through a means of a website is much more successful as it is accessible by anyone and anywhere. Also having a website I can integrate social media to my website such as Youtube which is perhaps the best way to show 3D models, levels which can be seen through walkthroughs and turnarounds. Another way in showing 3D products is through Unity by creating a interactive turnaround in which can then be exported for an IOS and Android device making my work portable.
It is pretty clear though that with the current times everything is going digital and this is why I believe that having an online portfolio makes the work much easier to be organized and safe as well as accessible at any time and by many. With this indulgence in digital devices the fact that my work will be in an online portfolio enables anyone to view my work and this is the same with the 3D work being shown in video form but also with the use of Youtube I can have a thread in which whatever I upload on Youtube can be posted on my Twitter, Facebook and other social sites to which will enable more exposure and online presence to which will give more people a visual presentation of my work to which they can share.
Having an online presence is essential, which is the feedback I was given as it not only gives you an online presence to put your work out there for everyone to see but also for people to give me feedback. My online presence will consist so far of Twitter, Youtube, Facebook, a Website and a blogger site the reason for this is because I found that most professional concept artists carry on with blogging along with regular updates to their website and this is something I wanted to also do which enable me to integrate social features to my blogger along with my website, thus threading all resources into one location to then outsource to other areas that best show my work.
One new additional piece of portfolio that was made clear to me was a concept art showreel in which I could show my images in video something I never really thought was done for a portfolio however after being shown examples I was aided in producing a showreel which has fitting presentation and something that I will be now carrying on in the future. With my work being shown in an online presence I will be able to bring an Ipad to show my work 3D or concept art which creates a better sense of viewing as you can see 3D objects in app and even the images can be watched through a video being played in the interview or individual images being viewed.
My portfolio will mainly consist of recent and best work as this will show upto date work and that is why at this time for my portfolio I will show work produced in my final year as this year I really focused on concept art for my independent practice and produced team work along with a more 3D specialised project. The portfolio will consist of both concept art along with3D work, with my independent practice work being heavily focused on concept art much of the work produced in that project will be shown such as the space pirate ship concept art, ship turnarounds, colour schemes, character designs and the work on the main control room and in addition I will show the work I produced for Chris in terms of the best character concept work. From my Final Major Project I will show concept art as well as character designs produced in the children’s games of Elemental and Food Landmarks as these demonstrate my range in specific design needs and also my individual project from Fairy Tale Princess I will have the overview and interior of the room concept art pieces, the floor plan and a walk through of the room which will demonstrate my use of 3D software’s as well as my use of the Unity engine. As I develop more work I will add more of the best work to my portfolio in a professional presentation to be viewed by anyone and also add more of my 3D skills through asset modelling rather than full blown levels and also produce speed paintings.
