Homework: Portfolio review



I am covering Brian Perez’s Portfolio. His welcome page is creative, and appears to use many brush techniques in order to give it a colorful design. Its plain and simple, and gets to the point. Its visual design by Brian Perez. The title also appears to have a nice wet paint effect in grey. He appears to have added a glow, similar to the background, to the writing as well. All the files are contained in a table of contents, as it was instructed. Inside is design work, although I do not see image work.  Within design work, are all the projects placed, with the labs within them, and I see that he combined the files together with his narratives. The files within are not really organized, as the final appears to not be shown first, and tends to be the last thing. Labs are not within project 2. As for project 1, it looks very creative, appearing in what appears to be a mushroom from Mario. I am not so sure all of the pictures are his however, as it appears some were taken from the internet. Other than that, it is very nice. Lab 2 appears very well, having a draft and a final. The draft appears simple, but a good design over all. The final improves by adding a glow to the writing along with changing some of the elements, such as its colors and effects. Project 3 has a overall good design, with the final adding the website. I feel the quality of the image could have been better. Project 4 is very well done. They had told me they took the idea from Zelda, which I am a fan of. Placing the box on a pedestal with light shining on it making it show how extremely important it is, thus “Sacred”. The overall artist design gives it a good feel. The only problem is that it contains a few white areas, which I feel could have been filled in and also the fact that it doesn’t make much sense with the black box itself, but it is still a fine piece of work. On a scale of 1 to 10, I give it an 8.5/10. It has very few mistakes, but they could be fixed in a good hour or so, but it still looks great.
