My first portfolio visit was with Chris from Thoughtful. Thoughtful is a design agency whose studio is based in Stockport College and consists of three members. I started off by showing chris my work by briefly explaining the brief given for each piece. Once I had shown my portfolio Chris gave me some feed back based on presentation, how I presented myself and also on my work. He mentioned I had a good body of work within my portfolio and is well presented. However a few areas could be improved. He talked about my type faces and how much better they would look if I put them in a more interesting layout rather than leaving them in a more organized layout of quotes I had found in a book I am constantly using for reference " The Art Of Looking Sideways". The quotes I have used are quotes relating to my experience within design. Chris also commented on the Live Surface page, to enlarge the image to full page but to also take my own photography instead of using the same as every one else. I presented myself well by being very confident when speaking about my work and also taking on all the advice given to me for future visits.
