Schah's Professional Experience

My portfolio should be an organic, fluid, and evolving representation of my works and selfbranding. It should be the single most important vehicle I have for finding employment (Anderson, 2016). The tone of my portfolio should reflect the kind of work that I will be targeting to (Eisenman, 2011). Since my preferred employment mode for my pathway is a full time job at a design agency or a design studio and I also would be open to any freelance design jobs on my free time, I would prepare and tailr my portfolio for the following target audiences.

The company is called "My Ear" is producing hearing aid devices and selling their products in Singapore and New Zealand. Their target audience is people with hearing problems - mostly age range of 55+, but they want their logo to be simple and modern. Color Theme The color theme I chose for this brand is in a range of orange and yellowish. The reason for choosing such a color swatch is to represent enthusiasm, happines, success and encouragement - especially for old people. Ideas The idea for designing a logo for this brand is to make the logo representing the nature of their products which is hearinf aid and making your ear (hearing ability) stronger.
