PW Portia Watson
Graphic Design Portfolio
ABOUT ME Hello, my name is Portia Watson. I am a recent Graphic Design graduate from the Illinois Institute of Art. My design style is clean and sophisticated. Although art is about self-expression, when I am working for a client, I am able to collaborate their ideas with what I’ve learned in school. I enjoy creating designs that will communicate the message my client wants me to convey. My specialties include but are not limited to layout design and manipulation. Additionally, I also make good typography choices and color palettes. My Bachelor’s in Mass Communications has taught me to have excellent written and verbal communication skills. My Mass Communications studies included lessons in public relations and writing for newspapers. When others see my work, I want them to feel that I’ve accurately conveyed the message that convinces their customers to buy their product or to trust in their company
