Portfolio Show
After weeks of stressing myself sick and working my knuckles to the bone, it was all worth it!
The ACAD Portfolio Show was tonight and it was a mixture of fun, scary and nerve-wracking! I talked to sooo many people, while my voice did that stupid thing where it goes up an octave whenever I’m in a professional setting, but also got to hand out a lot of business cards so that hopefully means contacts. Got lots of great comments on my portfolio too (but I doubt anyone was going to totally rip into my portfolio right there, so I gotta take that with a grain of salt).
I also got to hang out with my classmates for a final hurrah, for a quick eat before the show and then at the after party. I’ll be glad to get out of the classroom and be making some income, but sad to be leaving all our weirdness/joking/feedback behind.
I have a few loose ends to tie up before I’m entirely done — moving out, turning in a project, convocation — but, for the most part, I’m out of the woods! It’s scary, but it feels good.
Comments
I’m glad it went well! You had nothing to worry about, anyway. And your portfolio IS great, regardless of how most people are unlikely to tell you your work sucks at your Portfolio Show.
GL with the wrapping stuff up. I’m excited for the blog entry that will tell what you plan on doing next. For example, which city you plan to live in next.
