My porfolio box has come a long way in the past few days.
I have scanned in and printed almost half of the photographs which are going to be in it.
So far I have included an edited version of my narritives series, and also a collection of my situated practice collaboration.
My portfolio box is 8x10, and although it may be a little bit small for the the style of work I produce, I am still using this module as an experience and I know now that when I want to buy my next portfolio box I will go bigger with a thinner depth in order to compact my work a little bit more.
Over the next few weeks I will be includng more images into the box and also playing with the idea of putting in different aspect ratios. I have a lot of square format prints which I would like to display in my work. I have thought about displaying two images on one sheet to fill it, although my box is only 8x10 which means the images would be tiny.
This is the next thing I need to figure out.

Website Update
My wesbite has been going well so far, and I am happy with how it looks at this stage.
I have been scanning in different images I want to include in my website, and testing out loads of different templates to see which ones fits my style of work best, and asethically pleases my target audience.
I have decided so far to have a white background, with simple black text with a simple font which doesn't domiante the page to much.
I am goin to include a contact and information page on my website with a number of diffeerent galleries containing different series of work.
I am still using squarespace to design my website. It is going to cost me around £63 yearly, that cost includes a free domain.
I browsed different web designs to try and find the best one and I decided on squarespace as it seemed simple to use and not to costly.
The website will constantly be a working progress and I will try to update it as often as possible woth new work and information.

Work Placement Progress
For my work placement, the only decision I have made is that I would liket to focus on two areas and try and get a few weeks experience for both.
The two areas I want to focus on are:
Teaching/Eduction
Archieves
Although i enjoy photography and want it to be a big part of career I don't think that means I have to constantly be making work. I feel that I need to make a good living and that just taking photographs won't do that. I would love to teach and share what I know about photography to other students whether it be undergraduates, high school children or maybe even younger.
The other option I want to explore, archiving, is mostly due to my interest in history, I would love to gain experience in a records office where they hzave documents dating back 100's of years. Along side this I would also love some experience in a gallery archieve.
I am in the process of emailing around to try and arrange some work experience. So far I have had no replies although there are still alot of places which I need to contact.
