Title: Digital Portfolio Project Description: Create an electronic portfolio to be the online representation of our print portfolio. Let it show our skill.
Issues: Deciding on whether to make it in Flash, or with CSS. At least a part of it needed to be done in Flash.
Solutions: I decided to make it using valid XHTML and CSS because it stresses one of my strong hiring points – accessibility. My portfolio site is accessible and compliant with web standards. It’s not overly important for my personal site to be accessible, but it is extra proof of my knowledge and experience. Accessibility for websites is a hot topic right now, and if I show I am already on track with that, I help secure a variety of web jobs. I made a personal logo and Flash animation for the intro to the site.
Software/Skills: Web technology and coding. Macromedia Flash and Dreamweaver. Adobe Photoshop.
