SIXTEEN PROJECTS IN A SHOEBOX WITH TAPE, SHARPIE, TAPE, AND STAPLES
Here is a booklet that got me into school. I had to print it 6 different times at the Ross building in Ann Arbor, and run to the post office at 11 AM to make sure it got mailed in time. There are a few aspects of higher level thinking with many more aspects of low level thinking. Basically, I found all my favorite movie images, told a story that didn’t make sense, and used one nice font.
The portfolio strives to be low resolution in the three following ways: first, revealing its own construction through ad hoc materials and cheap printing in service of an in-progress quality; second, the abstraction of portfolio convention through ambiguous titles, atypical sequencing, etc. and third; a composition of references that dismisses any auteur-like quality to the work presented. The making of this low resolution portfolio rejects sophistication and seamlessness, and instead showcases a student at work in many different ways.
