PORTFOLIO

As part of my course requirements, I need to create a portfolio. But this is not only important to my coursework, it's also a good idea to have an up-to-date portfolio to hand to show to prospective clients or take to job interviews.

In my portfolio I'd like to put my most recent work, because I feel that this is a better example of my capabilities as I have progressed so much over the years. I will pick the work which I am most proud of, so that I am easily able to talk confidently about my portfolio as I know that it is my best.

I am not sure how I would like to present my portfolio, I would like it to be individual and stand out but also represent me and my style. I understand that a more professional, well set-out collection of my work would look better but I sometimes struggle to achieve a well presented document. So I have thought about other ways in which I could present my portfolio, such as digitally on a memory stick or blog.



This is a real online webpage portfolio, I like the interesting and eye-catching design but also the professional 'Client Area' and 'Contact' tabs are something I should consider.



This page from a student portfolio looks really impressive, I like the way that the layout reads so fluently. There is a brief explanation of what this project was which is helpful in case you are not with the client while they are looking at your work.



I really like this sketchy, creative page. I'm not sure I could get away with being so messy in my portfolio but I think its very eye-catching and intriguing.

I mostly favor the blog idea, as it is very easy to update or alter and can never get 'lost' or dog-eared like a memory stick or paper document can. There is also the opportunity for people to comment on a blog, and that sort of recognition or feedback can help to sell my ideas.
