Building Your Digital Portfolio: Part1: Strategy

a. I think family, friends and art schools expect to see a variety of art pieces within my portfolio, using a variety of styles.  They would also expect to see progress made throughout my portfolio by looking at my pieces.  I think they expect to see information about who I am (About Me section of the portfolio).  As well as what inspired me to create certain pieces or what techniques I used to create them.

b.  A way I will stand out from the crowd is to create a personal, reflective portfolio.  By, making it personal and inspiring to myself it will be different from others and will make me want to work harder on the portfolio.  To surprise them, I will show my attention to detail while creating the portfolio while adding small animations to capture their attention.

c.  I would like to create a a subdued and reflective look to my portfolio, to display more of my pieces and not distract from my art.  I also think it will make my portfolio more approachable and easier to connect to.  It is easier to communicate an idea through this, which I find most important in my portfolio.

d. My audience  operates in a realm where commercial impact, practicality and clear communication rank highest in priority.

e. My audience puts more importance on creating a portfolio which is commercial and professional.  Although, I think uniqueness and creativity would be appreciated in a portfolio.  I would be willing to add animations and  sound to add and make the my portfolio mine as apposed to simply putting my images in it.
