Who am I? I need more research...

Throughout my experience as a student, I have collected many works that I am proud of and eager to share. To this day, I have learned from my respected professors the importance of research, organization, and individuality in my designs. My goal of my last semester of my senior year is to design a portfolio that showcases my personality, my best pieces, and my hard work.

In order to do this, I need to research and analyze who I am as a designer. This is the ultimate design that will aid me in taking the next step in my life: my future career. What are my strengths? Where am I applying? What are my values? These questions will help me tackle the first stage of the portfolio process.

When thinking about graduation, I have my doubts and worries about the future like many of my peers. However, throughout this semester, I am committed to improving my self-confidence not only as a designer, but also as a human being. I struggle with the questions of what I want my audience to think about when they look at my work in my portfolio. What do I want them to see? I certainly have ambition and motivation, but how do I display it?

To get all of my ideas in order, I have created a mind map that has organized all of my thoughts and practically everything about me into one organized diagram. Also, to stay informed with job openings and the design world, I have recently joined the AIGA. I am now connected with other professionals and am able to use this creative resource.

Through this blog, I will be able to find these answers and track the process of my portfolio.
