Periphery

Periphery to me means the out most boarder of an object or a picture, such as the edge of the page or the border such as the property that a structure is on. Every structure or design has a boarder that is implied although the boundary could vary between designs. While in D.C over the spring break I took many pictures and below I will show a statue that may have a hard time expanding beyond its boundary.

 

Portfolio

            In first year, although it has not been long, I have had the chance to experience exactly what a portfolio is unfortunately. A portfolio is an accumulation of ones work throughout their career. And I had a portfolio check recently and it is actually is a detailed collection of your work. So here is a picture of the national archives, a very large portfolio.

 

Process

            In design the most important thing is your process, it how you get from the beginning to the end of your work. Even if you don’t realize it you follow some sort of a process. What I usually do is brainstorm or get inspired by something to spark an idea, then I usually make some iterations or sketch models, then I try to abstract it or focus on a certain detail, then it’s presentation time. Below is a picture that I took in D.C of a place where they follow a strict process, the Capitol building.

Perspective

            Perspective is how we perceive something, weather it is one point, two point, ect. But it’s very difficult, if not impossible to draw something to the human eye’s perfection. It’s the view that we have of an object such as a corner view or a view looking straight at it. Here is a building that I took a picture of in D.C. I thought that it was a very beautiful structure.

 

Professional

            Professional to me means to have some sort of uniform to a design or technique, a sense of organization. It can also mean someone whom gets paid for providing some sort of profession, such as a designer working at a firm. What better example to show than the white house, for some reason I think its very professional.

 

Finally

            All of these tings come together in the end to result in a good work ethic, or what will be done in the real world. All of these things actually go into creating a portfolio, or documenting your time through work. Also all of these things take part I a process.
