This video is a portfolio review session where Emmanuelle Callerame provides feedback to Priscilla de Corson on her art portfolio. The review covers the portfolio's overall design, layout, text (biography and artist statement), and image presentation. The discussion also touches upon the presentation of Roger's portfolio.
Emmanuelle Callerame suggested uniformizing the shades of gray and beige used in Priscilla's portfolio, as they were subtly different. She also recommended exploring whether the logo should be consistently in black and white or the ochre gold color used in some instances. Regarding font styles, she advised using italics for titles, replacing asterisks with the "x" key symbol for multiplication, and placing the date after the title. She also noted that titles should generally be in italics, while the medium (e.g., oil on linen) and dimensions should not be.
Emmanuelle Callerame's main feedback on Priscilla's artist statement was that it was too long and somewhat redundant with the biography. She advised shortening it to approximately half its original length, focusing on the artist's process and artistic motivations rather than repeating biographical information.
Emmanuelle Callerame suggested aligning the captions (cartels) consistently to the left and placing the logo to the right for improved visual balance. She also suggested that the captions should not be in bold and could be slightly smaller to save space.
The main issue with Roger's portfolio was that it was submitted as individual Word documents instead of a single, organized PDF file, making it difficult to view and review. The solution proposed was for Roger to consolidate all pages into a single PDF document for easier access and review. Additionally, Emmanuelle Callerame suggested that Roger use a larger image on the cover page to make it more visually appealing and engaging.
