Assignment 4: Portfolio Site

All of you have been creating some really good work in this class. Now it's time to give it a place to live. Having an online portfolio will save you money, reduce paper cuts, and will make you stand out in front of creative directors.

Your site should tell a story about you as a creative person. Who is Jacob? Who is Drea or Shraven? How about Gunjan? Do you love books? Is it a digital book? Do you love cars so maybe it's a take-off on Grand Theft Auto? Is it a garage? Is it something about where you grew up? A map? Or is it a representation of your love for clean design? Look at the sites from my students last semester. Notice how each site has its own personality.

For Nick, his site is wrapped around the city he loves and calls home.

Good shows off his eye for clean design and layout. For him it's maybe more about the work featured on his site than the site itself.

Dhruvi's first love is architecture. Her site is built around landscapes she drafted as an architecture student.

Deliverables:
5 unique site ideas that represent you as a person. Sketch as many pages for each idea as it takes in order to convey your concept. The more the better.

Your site can be either Flash or HTML. The above examples are actually just plain old HTML. I recommend this route because Flash sites are a pain in the ass to update.

Recommended software:
Adobe Dreamweaver
