The Booklet and Word portfolio
Lecture: Basically, Mr. Vinod checking our last mocks-up for the booklet and gave us feedback. He also checking our wordportfolio and gave us few tips on how to edit it. At the of the class he taught us on how to create a pocket at the back of word portfolio back cover. Not to forget, the rule of third (on how to place the name and title of front cover for both, booklet and wordportfolio). For the booklet cover, Mr. Vinod says if we using black or white hard cover, we cannot use white color sticker paper.
Instructions: You need to create a booklet and come up with few lines about yourself. These lines will be arranged and expressed according to their meanings. Please refer to the previous eportfolio for further instructions.
The portfolio (30%): Eportfolio & Microsoft Word portfolio (PDF)
The portfolio is an edited document to include all the work produced in this course. It is a visual documentation of the process in chronological order (neatly packaged and presented). The Microsoft Word portfolio is developed progressively on a weekly basis throughout the semester, it is the hardcopy version of the eportfolio.
The hardcopy portfolio is an A4 bound document (See image below) that consists of research materials, sketches, fails, epiphanies, writings, images, drawings, text, etc. well arranged, organized and appealing. The document is also uploaded as a soft-copy PDF onto your eportfolio on the 14th week.
The ePortfolio is an online blog (Blogger engine) that is updated on a weekly basis, throughout the semester. The ePortfolio documents the summary of the lectures, records the instructions and feedback given, and documents the reflections of the student on a weekly basis.
A4 Bound portfolio document (Only selected students will be asked to print and submit this on the 14th week)
Marking Criteria: The portfolio must showcase consistent evidence of students meticulous and chronological documentation of progress/process work in the module, students lectures, instructions, research, outcomes, feedback and reflections. The portfolio or eportfolio is clean clear, neat, labelled and dated, it needs to be easily navigable and easy on the eyes (visually supportive to the content)
Duration: 14 weeks
Deadline: week 14
Research:
Throughout the semester, I bought things from the Art Friend Shop in The Garden Mall, everything is there
Adjust and Execute (Final Booklet)
I've decided to stick with 3 types of font.
For artboard one, I use Century. Artboard two Century Gothic. Artboard three is Gill Sans Mt and artboard four is Calson 540 LT Std Italic. I refer back to the previous lesson on which Mr. Vinod show us there are few types of font which is compatible with each other. So basically I chose a compatible font for artboard one and two and for artboard three and four. So it will shows connection, besides the arrangement of the lines.
For the final booklet: I've have changed font for artboard three and adjust the artboard 4 design.
Wordportfolio: I did adjust the kerning, pictures size and few others in order to make it lighter and less pages, from week 1 until week 13. I did changed it to Helvetica font and 10pt size. In addition, I did adjust kerning for each lines, around '50 to 60' I also create a pocket at the back of the cover page.
Booklet: Since Mr. Vinod want variations of color, instead of using white sticker paper, I've changed it to purple and for the contents, I'm using light pink paper.
Mr. Vinod also wants us to apply the 'third rule' for the placement of name
Process: I did apply the rule of third for my booklet cover and wordportfolio front cover;(Booklet front cover, where I later place my name on the sticker paper)
Sticker paper:'I leave about 1mm space for each side', so it will be more neat;
Then, after divide the space according to the rules of third, I stick the sticker name on the top of right side.
Next for the front cover of the wordportfolio, Im using Helvetica font 10pt, and 13 leading. I place it according to the rules of third division,'on the top of right side'.

Feedback:
Hi Nadia,
You are hardworking and consistent in your effort towards work. I think your eportfolio was exemplary in that it documented and chronicled your journey really well. Your reflections were good and the outcomes were by and large good. The effort behind the work produced will certainly reflect in the results you will eventually obtain. I wish you well in your future undertakings and good luck.
Reflection:
Experience: In the overall, I've found that creating a booklet is very interesting task. We have been given a freedom to choose color of the cover, paper and design. I felt like I'm in the primary school, esspecially art class. So far this course really benefit me in many ways.
Observation: I'm struggling throughout the course, deadline at midnight etc,taking 6 subjects for this semester is not easy for me. Since it is my last task for the subject, I felt relief and looking back at my previous work from the wordportfolio, I can say that I'm not that bad, at least I'm trying my best and I didn't give up.
Finding: I've learn a lot from the course, I hope that I will always apply it later on.
