Let's just say 6.5 Term
1. How was getting ready for cTN? What did you expect from CTN? How did you like it? Did you show your portfolio?
1) Getting ready for CTN was stressful because I kept thinking about my portfolio. Putting together a portfolio, within a deadline, that was acceptable with what I had so far is difficult. I had a lot of non-art center people (because they are the target audience) look at it and a few art center teachers look at it before I finalized my portfolio. I expected CTN to be a place where I would be able to shop my portfolio around and to get feedback. I liked CTN a lot!!! Yes, I did show my portfolio.
2. How was the crits? Was it helpful? What would you do better or different next time?
2) The crits were quick and helpful. Very quick. Each reviewer had a timer on and you got a max of 10 minutes. I wouldn't do anything any different next time. I was pretty prepared.
here's my portfolio!!
Any tips or funny stories?
TIPS!!!~~~~~~~
LEARN HOW TO TALK TO BUSINESS PEOPLE!! Half the people I showed my portfolio to are NOT artists!! They are in HR!! You NEED to learn how to talk as if it was a formal interview. You have 10 minutes to prove to the recruiter why you deserve their contact information. Choose your words wisely, do NOT speak unless spoken to, and be ARTICULATE when asked "what do you want to do?"
I can't tell you how many reviews I've eavesdropped on where the person being reviewed kept saying "like." STOP SAYING "LIKE" EVERY 5 SECONDS. It makes you seem uneducated and unprepared.
DON'T BE TOO SCARED TO SHOW YOUR PORTFOLIO. The worst thing you could ever do is spend all this time and energy in a portfolio that might be going in the wrong direction!!! Have your portfolio reviewed by several people every term!!! Even if your portfolio isn't finished, you need to know what works and what doesn't work along the way.
