IN THE STUDIO // OLD SCHOOL PORTFOLIO PLANNING

This is what has been dominating my time lately: my porfolio, both the print and online editions. A lot has changed since this girl looked for a job and so the need for both an online and print/book version of my portfolio is a necessity. Wow, does it take a lot of time and planning. The photo above is a page of layout ideas for my print portfolio.

So far here is what I have:
A professional photo of myself {thanks to Becca Dilley Photography}.

A logo for me as a designer, versus my business:

And so many social media accounts I can barely keep track of them:

Facebook

Twitter

Tumblr

Linked In

Behance

Pinterest

And, last but not least, here is a link to my portfolio web site:

amyarmato.com

So follow me, like me, check out my work and if you or someone you know needs a fabulous graphic designer think of me!

IN THE STUDIO // INTRODUCING AMY

I love being able to place the face with the blogger {or the business, for that matter} and love people/businesses that do that for me. I, however, like a certain amount of anonymity {plus I hate getting my photo taken}. Despite that, it was high time to give others the opportunity to place my face with my name and see the person behind the design. Here I am. And to be honest I think it's both cute and cringe-worthy. Here is the equation:

concept = cute
that I actually had to have a head shot taken of myself = cringe-worthy

It was fun to create the shot: a piece of handmade paper behind me thinking about Armato Design & Press. That part made having to pose for it a little better...but only a little.
