I dropped off my work in the gallery on Monday, and Mark sent out an email yesterday saying that those in Slusser gallery can come in today to set up. So, initial set up, tests, and pictures will be done by the end of the day. Depending on how the photos turn out, they might end up on my portfolio site under the S.C.A.L.A.Y.C. heading.
Speaking of my new website, I showed it to Roland and Camilla yesterday and got an hour long critique. Therefore, it has changed to a new layout since Monday. The layout that best suited my purposes was unfortunately the same as Nick Tilma's and Mia Cinelli's sites (which makes me feel like I'm plagiarizing). However, now the background is light, matching the majority of my photos, I have a header on every page that makes the work seem like it's mine instead of just a collection of images, and there's a menu on the left side of the page (never mind that the menu items are the exact same things as what's on the meat of the page).
I also got some more feedback on my résumé (mainly that it still sucks), which I will put into action soon. My formatting was much better than the first résumé (no I will not show you, it's hideous), but it still has a ways to go according to Roland. Camilla is convinced that I need to get more jobs under my employment section, even if they are 3-days long each. It's not that I haven't worked several jobs, it's that the jobs I have worked have had nothing to do with Art and/or Design, and therefore I did not put them on my formal résumé.
