I was able to make it to portfolio day out at westwood college on Saturday and was sure glad I went. I personally got reviewed by John Judy and Randy Johnson. The feedback that I received was what I was expecting and I got some real good information on what to improve. A lot of inspiration came out of this event as well. I learned that the traditional go-to way isn't always the way to go. Sometimes it is better to go out on a tangent and do something completely unexpected and out-of-the-ordinary. Getting out and separating yourself from the herd can really show your characteristic and personality when it needs to be shown, especially in an environment as this where you want to be different. The key note speaker Robynne Raye also had a really cool talk in the afternoon, her work in snowboard/skateboard/surf design was right up my ally. She had a very different approach and inspiring outlook on how to show your work and survive in the professional world. All-in-All it was a good day getting some great information and encouragement on how to conquer the world in design. Own yourself, own your work, do good, and help others and success will find you.
