First Things First.

Before I even started i knew that because my work is image based because I have gone down the animation design route rather than actually animating that the only sensible format to hold my portfolio would be an online portfolio.

This lead me to an article in Computer Arts magazine which was specifically about online portfolio's.

'It’s important to showcase your best work, but within that, to show diversity. Quality, not quantity'
Learning this important information so quickly is only going to help me throughout this module because it keeps my focus on quality, rather than panicking if i dont have a lot of work at the end.

Getting Started.

The aim of this blog is to gather research and document my findings throughout the Portfolio module.

The main areas I intend on researching and document are;
  • Existing Studios which could be pottential employers
  • Decide on an appropriate format for my portfolio
  • Explore what pottential employers would like to see in a portfolio
  • Research alternative resources for portfolio content prefferences
  • Document any articles or websites that have helped through the design, progress and development of my portfolio
In addition to these points I will also post any articles or videos that I find of interest about creating a portfolio or the industry in general. I will also post studio's which catch my attention.
