This week we looked at one another's work to give feedback. I received feedback that was pretty much what I expected. Nothing too spectacular (I'm still learning after all) but still marks above just a standard "good."
One comment that many designers had about my portfolio was that a lot of the pieces seemed very clean, but at the same time very safe. I do agree that I need to push my boundaries a little more, especially with typography. I want to start branching out and exploring what more I can do with page layouts. But at the same time I was glad to hear these comments that my work was simple (while still impactful).
My current dream jobs are at a magazine like Real Simple or Martha Stewart Living. In these magazine the goal is to be simple, yet with an impact. I mean let's face it, that's pretty much the whole reason behind the magazine Real Simple's title.
So while I do agree that I need to touch up some work and play with bigger, bolder choices, I'm glad to see I'm at least on the right track for these kinds of magazines.
