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).

Brainstorming

Common things that are coming out of this is the constant need to pull different elements together (textures, patterns, colours) and create something that looks balanced, pleasing to the eye, and people notice it. I do this with food, clothes, decorating, and design. I love looking at the J Crew catalogue and fell in love with their European themes (Scotland, France, and Italy) in 2008. I noticed that Stella Artois 60's looking European commercials have a similar look and feel. Possibly a vintage, nostalgia thing going on there. I seriously want to work for J Crew in a regional marketing role WHEN they come to Canada.

Catch annoying celebrities in the act and take them out with juicy pineapple grenades.

It could be cool catching unsuspecting young stars off guard with sticky messy pineapple grenades.

Selecting your opponent(s): I like how friends or potential opponents are displayed on the Nanovor site. In the Pineapple Punch it would be great to follow a similar direction.
