Will determine if I get to continue studying design at Appalachian State University. I’m concentrating in furniture, which is a smaller group (only about 8 in my class), so I’m pretty much guaranteed to get in. Still nervous. Here it is as a PDF. You can see progression in my work throughout, still getting better with every class. My goal is to be hireable by the time I graduate.

I would buy that dog bed chair. 1) because it looks comfy, and 2) because my dogs are dicks and I’d like to sit in it stare at them while looking smug.

I had a really hard time getting the proportions right. For a while it was 6 feet in diameter. I have a little book about comfortable seating heights and proportions and it was fun to get the numbers close while keeping the form within the aesthetically pleasing range.

Looks good dude! My roommate is a senior ID student, if you want I can ask him for a link to his portfolio if you want any ideas/reference. (Or if you want to see mine, I’m architecture but same shit pretty much...)

That would be great, I’m always open to seeing other people’s work. Admittedly there is a lot of stuff in this that I’m a little embarrassed of, but I have 2 years to make more professional work.

And thank you!

I’ve found that no one is more critical of your portfolio than yourself. So long as your work is well represented, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about! I’ll ask my roommate for his when I get home tonight, here’s mine in the meantime-

I like the dog bed chair. The glasses though...

...they hurt me deep inside.

It was more of an exercise in lamination and finsihing. Learned some bondo techniques and was able to get a nice finish on them. But yeah, definitely one of the less good things I’ve done.

Lol, just kidding. Everybody has stuff that didn’t turn out how we’d hoped.
