So far when sending my portfolio the feedback I have got hasn't been very specific. However, I got in touch with Bivouac and applied for an internship but I didn't get an interview. The said that they liked my stuff for the Natural History Museum, but that it would've been good to see some type and layout in my portfolio. Specifically working with a large amount of copy. Although I do have some work from type and layout that does this, I think I would rather spend some time producing something new for my portfolio. So that's something I intend to do over the next couple of weeks.
Barnbrook are a design company with some really nice exhibition/museum way finding. A lot of interesting shapes and graphics on every surface. When they got back to me they said that I needed to develop my own voice, and that I should work on this during the third year. I agree with this, I don't think my portfolio at the moment really reflects me and doesn't show my work at it's best.
Fred also suggested that it was time to put more stuff into my portfolio, so I've spent some time over the last few days re-printing things/re-photographing things to put into my portfolio. Rather than having any sort of 'identity' at the beginning I've chosen to have my CV there instead. This is mainly because I am unhappy with the identities I've tried and don't want to keep changing it until I'm happy with one. I've also changed the layout so that the text is now at the bottom, this allows me to have bigger images of the work.
