Coming to the end..

As I come to the end of putting my portfolio together I am realizing how important the placement of each item is. For example, I initially when setting up my portfolio had both my type posters next to each other in a spread. Once reviewing with Professor Hastings, we together decided that together the two posters competed. I then decided to move one type poster to another spread.

While reading No Plastic Sleeves I found some words to prove my move of the type poster to be valid.

"Visual emphasis can also be achieve through more complex means, such as creating visual tension between juxtaposing elements or by creating a more intricate shape or image." (Volk & Currier, p.91)

With this decision being made it was then important that I go back and double check the placement of my other elements. Once editing the placement of my pieces I believe I have come to a concluding portfolio set up appropriately. I am hoping that visually no pieces compete but all pieces come together whether they be in a spread or riding solo.
