Mount Wachusett Community College, in Gardner MA offers a 2-year program for Graphic and Interactive Designers (GID program). The final course in the GID program helps students assemble and present their best work produced in the program. This blog is produced by the GID Portfolio class under the direction of instructor Coni Porter.
Add your name to your branded title page? Small below the parrot?
The layout of your first spread seems just right - with the right amount of negative space between the cover and the reduced inside spreads. Please use that same amount between your other page elements throughout the portfolio pages. I think the Yellow Jackets and Gardner Museum suffer from too little space between the elements.
HDT Tshirt - I'm wondering if the watch on the backside seems a bit too large, and a bit too high on the shirt?
Lizard Story - The text frames are inconsistently placed on the pages, look at the left and right sides? Where are your margins for this editorial spread? Consider using a drop cap for both text frames? And increasing the text frame inset just a bit more would help relax the tension that you've created within the text frame. You have plenty of room to make these frames a bit longer - but make sure the neg space below the text is the same in each box (and reflects the inset that you have set for the box) - currently you seem to have extra space down there.
All small details - and then this work looks good!
