Portfolio insperation

http://issuu.com/westminsterfashion/docs/lisa_clayton/1?e=0
Today we have been looking in to designers portfolios on Westminster fashion site. I looked through a few different portfolios for inspiraration for my portfolio. Some of then looked very professional with alot of work incorporated in to them. Yet I found these a little frighting as my level of work is no where as good as theirs. I really like the lay out used in Lisa Claytons portfolio. Professional but not to complacted. With hard work I could produce my portfolio at this level. Its eye catching, clear and flows. Showing illustrator deigns, colour plate and sample fabrics. Research find for insipration. Research incorporated in to designs and final deigns. Working sketches and techincal drawings professionally edited using images of research. I hope I'm final portfolio is has good as Lisa's. I'd like to lay mine out similar and try to incorporate  as much off my work as possible. While trying my hardest to edit my work using cad, which is not my strong point.

Pocket samples

Made up with this pocket I think it looks great. I've used paisley fabric for the lining & wool fabric for the pocket.

Aintree racecourse

The weighting room. All the racing history and winners cups are held here. Like the fencing and the curved shape at the top.The finishing post. This takes me back to when we had to climb over these fences when the national got cancelled. It was crazy but we still had a ball!! This would look boss on a t-shirt.
 The back terrace of the queen mother stand. Like the panels at the front with the circles in the middle.      
The back of the Earl of Sefton stand. Like the square glass work.
 This is the back of the Princess Royal stand.
The stairway would work well on arms of a jacket.
      The Earl of Debry stand. How cool & space age does this look. The    Would look as pockets.
How amazing is this cup.
This is the front of the Princess royal stand & reception which holds the Grand National winners cup. Had a boss time in here with my friends!!
This is the front of the platinum stand. This stand is the first thing you see when walking through the main gate. I have a thing for drawing triangles & shapes to find this building interesting.
This is the famous Aintree racecourse. This is the view you see when arriving from the train station. On race day it's chocer here !!
