Final Project- Digital Portfolio

- I made my digital portfolio using google sites because i found it difficult to work on the other sites like word press and the other ones we discussed in class. When i began working on this project i decided i was going to make my portfolio about web design. Im currently going to school for digital media, web design track and figured when im done with school here they may want a final portfolio of the work i completed. I also chose to use google because i will be able to access it anywhere all i need is my email address and password. I can also upload new works and websites i complete as i continue through college.
- In my digital portfolio i decided to have five buttons they are currently labled home, web design, digital art, photography/videos, and resume.
  • The home button talkes about my personal life like where i am attending school, and how im trying to prepare myself for a career in computer technology and web design. Also i listed the technical skills i have such as scripting and programming languages.
  • The web design button shows example of websites i have been working on in some of my other classes and how i made them. Ill be adding more as i continue learning.
  • The digital art button shows example of an animation we learned in technology class called goanimate.com with these animations i show us how you could add them into any webpage you choose and also create wordle which is a scatter of words that relate to a specific topic.
  • In the photography/video button i was able to put in a video we just made that shows how we used the technology of second life and create a video inside the virtual world. I am also taking digital video and audio and hope to put more videos in my website.
  • Finally in my resume button i list my objective, education, employment, and computer technical skills.
- In the side bar of my website i added current course work that would relate to web design and my pln which allows me to follow other people using facebook, twitter, blogger and linked in. Overall from this project i wish to present it to a current employer and hope to get a job in the technology field.
