Photo portfolio so far

This is what I have so far for my photo portfolio. I thought it would be easier to start with the photos since I have so many to choose from, but it really wasn't (the difficulty is in choosing just a few that are the best and not just my favorites)! I would like it to alternate between full spreads of a single picture and spreads with two opposing pictures. I do also have a couple of portraits but I just felt a little weird about posting them online.

Still going on the fusion poster

More colors for portfolio covers

Elephant bait reformatted

Two different versions...

Portfolio books, first draft

I decided to design four different books for my portfolio. One for each of the following topics: graphic design, printmaking & letterpress, photography and "the creative process". I'm afraid it may end up being too broad or necessitate overlapping. We'll see.

My thought was that the covers/outsides would be fairly simple but would incorporate some kind of white only representation of the content (see the purplish one, second image, as an example). I also tried to create an inside layout for at least the photography one. I'm not sure how free-flowing the graphic design one will be but I like that idea.

Circus Fonts

Here are all the circus fonts that I originally amassed for the Elephant Bait project. Maybe they're pretty clean, but they could be digitally roughed up? A few odd ones also snuck in here, you can ignore that. :-) Click images for more detail.





There's also this post on Magic Jelly's blog that has a bunch of circus fonts, many from above.

Possible jars for my Elephant Bait

I'm looking for a tall jar like the ones pictured here. I really like the proportions of the second picture (with the multiple jars) but they aren't the right volume. The top one is closer to appropriate volume but a little on the thin side, I feel.

Nuclear fusion: Infographic layout idea

Why nuclear fusion? I suppose if I had followed my original thought I would have done something on food, but the Wired magazine infographics bonanza stole my thunder. My husband is studying plasma physics at Columbia and I've always wanted to spice up the awful scientific posters I see around so I talked him into helping me with the content for this project.

This is still very rough. All the empty rectangles will eventually be small self-contained topics with graphics: what is fusion, what is a tokamak/why a tokamak and a time line of research. I would hope that this would be valuable to people in the field as a means of explaining current research but also accessible to the layman. Aside from the above mentioned topics are there questions that come to mind?

First try at incorporating letterpress printed letters

The "trunk" on the "l" is completely fabricated so I'll have to distress it a little in Photoshop for it to look right. Maybe everything needs more texture too?
