Portfolio

When creating my portfolio, I wanted the layout to have a simplistic style so that the focus would be primarily on the pieces inside. I used a white colored font and a tan/light brown background color to make the writing stand out. The white font draws focus. I decided to have my pieces take up the entire page, with help from my professor, to give the pieces more attention. Enlarging my photos to take up more space helped the spread altogether to look more finished. The negative space created by the type is useful in this portfolio because the photo taking up an entire page allow the page next to it to breathe a little bit. The portfolio overall is created to be simple and clean so that the chaos can be only within the pieces being presented.

Introduction

                                                  Hello! 

           My name is Blaise Govatos and yes I'm aware of how unique of a name Blaise is. Im originally from Annapolis Maryland, home of the best crabs in the world and home of some of the coolest looking sunsets. This photo was taken from downtown Annapolis, one of the most popular places to visit if you're ever in Maryland. If you ever visit Maryland and don't go to downtown Annapolis, did you really visit?

Im a die hard Baltimore Ravens fan, just like almost every person from Maryland, even though their past season was something short of a joke. I have recently transferred from Flagler College which is in St. Augustine Florida. I wanted to get more involved in my major, which is graphic design, and Tampa is a much bigger and better city to do so. I expect to learn many new tricks and techniques from this course. Ive been introduced to some softwares and computer programs but hopefully after the next six weeks I can consider myself a natural.

Lyrical Collage

"out of all of the prettiest sights I've seen, your eyes will forever be my favorite."

 The meaning of this collage is to point out that out of all of these pretty sights like city night lights, pink clouds, or a tropical rainforest, this girls blue eyes, just like the ocean, are the prettiest.
