Today I made a start on designing my Interior Design portfolio for future employers. At first I was unsure of how to begin the process as I had never made a portfolio before, however after looking at a few examples on ISSU.com, I gained some inspiration for ideas and subjects I wanted to include in my own design.
I decided to try and create my portfolio using one of the InDesign web templates, so it would be easily accessible to add to my website. However I first had to go through all my previous projects and decide which images would best portray my finished work. I decided that for each of the 7 projects I had completed, I would include:
a materials board
a selection of featured furniture
a concept photo
a 3D rendered drawing/model of my finished design
A written section explaining each project's brief, client, the software used, and the intended concept for each design.
Using the template I chose, I started to map out and edit how I wanted my final portfolio to appear, so it's ready for tomorrow when I'll start adding all my information and images.
