Le Corbusier is a very famous Swiss architect who was born on 6 October 1887, he was also a painter but eventually concentrated more on architecture. I have chosen look at Le Corbusiers portfolio for inspiration because his style of design is very modern and advanced for his era which was around the 1930s. Some of his most successful designs such as La Villa Savoye is a very beautiful modern piece and almost looks like it was designed in the 21st century.
This portfolio is very eye-catching, compare to other portfolios I have seen before. The use of black on one page and black on the other makes it very visible and also shows a sense of contrast between the photograph of the final piece and the photograph of the design process or the development page.
The way the photographs are laid out makes the pages very clean to look at, the spacing at the top and bottom of the photographs look exactly the same which centres the photograph directly in the middle of the page. I also like the fact he has included the material/colours he gained from his experiment on one page and the final outcome on the other which shows where the final idea has come from. This is one of the techniques I will take from Le Corbusiers portfolio into my own.
