Student Presentations
The photography major’s work was very compelling! I think she honestly gave me confidence that I am in the correct major. One thing that I found interesting was her use of large format film. I think it gave her work a really unique light quality and depth. Another insight was her use of the study abroad program to add to her portfolio. I thought her presentation was thought out as well.
The graphic design majors was very impressive. All of her work was very strong and you could tell she was really passionate about it. I also found the type face she created pretty which is something I didn’t think I would find myself saying. I think the most inspiring thing about her though was her passion for it. I thought she did a good job answering questions the audience asked as well. The insight into her workflow was interesting as well.
The art major’s work was impressive to say the least. I like how she showed her work from her earlier stuff before St. Edwards and how it has progressed to the point she is at now. I think it gives a good insight to art majors as to what they can expect to get out of the program. I actually thought her work was the most compelling and her presentation the most engaging because she was so funny. One take away I got from her was to take all of the projects seriously because you can use them for your portfolio later on.
The game design major gave good insight on the gaming industry and what it take to make it in the industry. I think one major take away from her presentation is that there is a lot of competition for jobs in the industry so you really have to put in the work to stand out. I think her work was less compelling than the others though.
https://negativefeedback.co.uk/ This is one of my favorite photographers and I think the aesthetic of his sight is well thought out. I also like that he presents his best work on the first page.
http://www.nickknight.com/ His work is amazing I think the way he presents his best photos in a slideshow format is really immersive and effective.
http://www.vivianmaier.com/ Her website is a very effective archive because her portfolio is massive, but it does a good job pf categorizing her work.
http://theartofphotography.tv/ Really interesting videos and an effective way to lay them out. I think he does a good job of presenting videos that are more relevant now.
