Today You Will Make a Portfolio And it will be awesome
Pick unfamiliar tools. Try as many as you like. • https://sites.google.com/ • http://wordpress.com/ • http://www.weebly.com/ • https://www.yola.com/ • http://www.jimdo.com/ • http://www.webs.com/ • http://webon.angelfire.lycos.com/ • http://www.wix.com/ • http://jigsy.com/ • http://www.webnode.com/ • http://www.edicy.com/en • http://www.websketch.com/
The Rules • This will be your portfolio for class, potentially more • Try to fill in real content if you have it! • Using fake filler is okay… for now • Use dumby text if you like (loremipsum -> http://hipsteripsum.me/) • Employ representative pictures and videos from stock (istockphoto, corbis, vimeo) • Don’t spend too much time finding content • Use as many of the tools as you like • You must show us what you’ve made by the end of class
Criteria • Elevator statement required (who, what – maybe why/for) • Portfolio page required (populate it with something) • Put your assignments in here throughout the semester
