Portfolio & Career Development

My ideal job position would be in advertising, marketing and branding, mainly print based, i.e such as POS and packaging, billboards and posters, and some digital. This would  involve knowledge and good use of Photoshop, Dreamweaver and Indesign. So a position in an advertising or branding agency as a graphic or digital designer would be my main area of focus for job hunting after I graduate.  Here is a link to some jobs I found:

Here are some examples of work I have done that could be used in my portfolio, that fit the criteria needed for the area I wish to work in:

D&AD Project for Westfield Stratford. My idea for an integrated market campaign was to have a carnival that would generate interest for the shopping centre, and the Olympics. I chose the theme of dance to use in the campaign as it ties in with the culture side, which is what I was using to drive the campaign.

Chocolate Orange advert designed in college. I was given 8 different well known foods to advertise and this one I used. The idea behind it, came from the knowledge of the orange being a tropical fruit, linking to beaches, hot weather, etc. So I just used the orange but in a different way, to help get the message across. Could be improved design wise.

Below are some photo's I shot for my Defining Practice project on Personal Space and Objects, and photography is closely linked to advertising, so perhaps these can be changed in some way to fit more into the criteria for jobs I want to associate my portfolio.

The two examples below are spreads from my Editorial project in 2nd year, which is a magazine on the subject of Photography, and tone of masculine, so I selected masculine things for people to photograph, edited them for my magazine. These shots could be used in the context of advertising, for an ad for a product, poker one for gambling, and the smoking one could be about awareness perhaps.

The two examples below are posters I designed at college for films of my choice, in my spare time, and I was looking to create the theme of the theme in the advert, i.e. 300's in comic book style because its done by Frank Miller, for Wolverine a kind of animal feel to it.
