a
What do you think that family, friends, and art
schools are expecting to see in a digital portfolio?
I think they are expecting to see my art,
creativity, talent, and skills. They want to see my ability to be an
artist. They are coming to see something
new that they have never seen before.
They want to see something that reflects me and reflects the world
around me.
b.
What will likely surprise them in a good way?
Hopefully the originality in my works and
the talent I possess surprises them in a good way.
I want them to be positively impacted through
the type of art that I produce and show such as nature, fantasy and other
stuff. I will provide them with links to
other artists and things that inspire me.
I will show them the sources of my creativity and ideas.
c.
Is your audience’s (family, friends, art schools)
world energetic and chaotic, or Subdued and reflective? Which mood would you like
to set for your portfolio?
I think the audience I want to appeal wants
energetic but with a bit of reflective in it. I’d like to show a bit of both in
my portfolio. I want the art to make
them think but I also want it to affect them emotionally. My work will have elements that are energetic
and colorful but my subjects will be things that make people think.
d.
Do they operate in a realm where quality and
craft are held above all else, or do commercial impact, practicality and clear
communication rank highest priority?
I believe that my target audience operates
in quality and craft above all else. The people I am trying to appeal to probably
want good quality and high craft. I want
to aim for studios like Pixar who want to see originality and innovation. My target visitors to my site will expect
something new and different that makes them think.
e.
How far off the beaten track and what price do
they put on originality versus tried-and-true designs?
The audience I want to attract I believe are
looking for originality more than tried-and-true designs. I believe they are looking for things totally
different and unique to other art. Studios like Pixar want something new; the
try to make a creative environment where people think outside the box. My audience is used to things that are
outside the mainstream and I want to give them that impression of my work.
