Emailable Portfolio.

Here's the portfolio I made and emailed out, with a personal statement on the front. Not sure if this was a good idea or not. The personal identity element of it.. I don't particularly like, but I'm working on that as I work on my website.

People I've emailed:
Micheal Sieben
James Gulliver Hancock
Adam Hayes
Garrett Morin
Jeffrey Bowman
Heart Illustration Agency
Mike Perry
Marion Deuchars
Jim 'The Illustrator' Stoten

issues:
Generally very positive feedback enjoying the qaulity of my work. The strength being the application of my illustration to a wide range of products. Th epop up book was enjoyed quite a few times. Unfortunately I can't get any bigger photos, they were all lost and the book destroyed in a situation out of my hands.

Marion Deuchars suggest I need to have a few close up shots to highlight the detail of my work. I think I agree with this and I'm going to work on it.

They all suggetsed I should get a website with a custom email address to increase professionalism. Obviously, as part of this module, I'm working on that.

Adam Hayes suggested I should start making some what the IE module would call 'direct marketing'. Sending it to blogs and agencies to get some recognition. This is obviously a tactic that has worked for him.

An issue of mine is, these are all freelancers that have got back in touch, so in terms of getting a work placement, it seems unlikely. I want to talk to Joh or Jane about people I should contact who could get me work experience with the skill sets I have.
