I’ve really enjoyed designing my own digital portfolio. Each project I’ve created I’ve made slightly different. My portfolio candidly reflects my life as a whole, what I am passionate about, what I am currently doing and working on, and what I hope to accomplish in the future. While I’ve never considered myself creative, I’ve really never had the actual opportunity to do so. In making my website, I was given total creative freedom to make it my own. I’ve meshed a lot of what I’ve seen in the media into certain areas of my portfolio, making it both visually appealing and accessible. The feedback from my classmates during Studio has helped my portfolio be the best version of itself and I am happy to not only have been able to collaborate with them, learn from them also. They have given me inspiration for my portfolio. Most of my Studio class are from my Seminar session, so most of our projects are similar. Our Seminar portion is based around the central idea of what an education means. Most of us have used our Humans of Education Project as a curation for our portfolio, but have gone in many different directions, which I think is pretty cool. My project was shaped a little differently in the sense that I gravitated away from what education means to me personally, so I focused more on what education means to the people most important to me. While still using and remixing projects from my Seminar class, I chose to add things in a way using my newly gained digital toolbox. My reader will see evidence of writing moves on all 4 of pages (Remix and Curations combined on one). The artifacts that I’ve selected are the projects I’ve done that I’m definitely most proud of. I have slivers of art, language, science, and literature, which has the capability of attracting viewers from across different disciplines, fields, and classes. I made the executive decision to not just focus on one realm of academics, but to branch out to different areas that would make my portfolio more well-rounded and encapsulating. I think that my portfolio, in particular, has influenced the way I will construct my projects in the future, and how I will analyze others’. Because this is a public platform, I have been articulate in the way I arrange my wording, images, projects, etc. so that it is more appealing to the human eye. If I do plan to circulate this portfolio elsewhere, I am planning on rearranging by subject matter and experiences. For example, during and after my study abroad, I will make a section focusing specifically on it, that has everything from that experience. When I do research in the coming months, I will make a separate section for that as well. I will delete and add things according to their relevance. I see my portfolio standing out to future employers, as most of their other candidates will most likely not have a platform similar to mine. Hopefully, I will keep on adding things from college throughout the years. All in all, designing my portfolio has definitely been an enjoyable experience for me and I am excited to see where it will take me in the future.
