Early Concept Ideas

From the brainstorming here's some early concepts:

1) Plant/flower - I hate to lose or kill a plant. If someone gives me a plant, it's important to me to keep them alive. Have a plant in a pot grow as more projects are added to the portfolio. Designs, marketing, sustainable work, and feedback from clients all represent the things that help this plant grow into a healthy blooming plant. Watch it grow theme.

2) Paisley pattern - with the love of textures, colours, fabrics, etc, use the simple paisley to represent various parts of the porfolio. Perhaps the paisley grows into other famous patterns like argyle, tartan and so forth to represent various parts of my work whether marketing or design focused.

3) Moped/Scooter Diaries - link to my love of vintage Europe. Best mode of transportation to get around in European towns (Italy, Greece, etc.). Could it be the Moped Diaries?

4) 60's vintage torn pieces of a photograph or postcard (sepia/faded colour) pieced together for each part of the portfolio that come together as one picture (one part from Zambia, England, Canada, Greece)

5) Outfits: Try one on! Select an outfit to represent parts of the portfolio (casual, business, formal).
