For my blog assignment this week, I’ve been tasked with brainstorming ideas for a personal project that I can include in my portfolio.

Brainstorming List:

  1. Create a unique logo to represent my personal brand as a designer.
  2. Design and code a website that showcases my photography portfolio.
  3. Take classes to make my own jewelry collection.
  4. Create a catalog featuring photographs of my pottery creations.

  9. Create 3D models to showcase some designs in realistic settings, such as product mockups or environmental scenes.
  10. Create a series of art pieces using Color Aid papers.

What is the idea?

I have the idea to create a collection of art pieces using Color Aid papers. These papers are famous for their vibrant hues and are widely used by artists and designers to explore color theory and composition. I plan to experiment with various techniques such as collage, layering, and cutting to give life to my artistic visions.

My inspiration

Yulia Brodskaya, a renowned artist known for her innovative paper art, is an excellent inspiration for this project. Her vibrant and dynamic pieces involve meticulous manipulation of paper strips. By studying her techniques, I can gain insights into creating visually stunning compositions. Her success in gaining international recognition and collaborating with various brands showcases the potential for paper artwork to make a meaningful impact in art and design.

Why it would be an excellent addition to my portfolio?

I believe that exploring the world of Color Aid papers would be a fulfilling and valuable addition to my portfolio for several reasons:

  1. It will showcase my artistic versatility and demonstrate my ability to work with various mediums beyond digital platforms.
  2. It will allow me to deepen my understanding of color theory and composition, which are fundamental aspects of graphic design and visual communication.
  3. It will set my portfolio apart by adding a unique and visually striking dimension that captures viewers’ attention and creates a lasting impression.

What skills do I hope to acquire?

I am hoping to improve my skills in the following areas through this project:

  1. Using Color Aid papers will help me understand deeply color relationships, harmonies, and the effect of using different color combinations.
  2. By experimenting with collage and layering techniques, I will improve my skills in composition, balance, and visual storytelling.
  3. Working with physical materials will allow me to develop my craftsmanship skills, which include precision cutting, gluing, and handling delicate materials.
  4. This project will motivate me to think outside the box, push boundaries, and explore new creative possibilities. This will encourage me to be more innovative and original in my work.
