Portfolio Templates

I thought I was close to finishing my portfolio project but apparently I need to start over.  I got a feedback from our instructor and what he said to me made sense.  When he browse through my portfolio page layout, he thought he didn't know which one to click on first (out of the six icons).   He recommended that I should put my most important piece or the best work I've done first.  My layout right now have three columns in round shapes and all six are equally sized but I explained to him that all my work - in terms of quality - they are equally the same.  I am still unsure of which direction I would like to concentrate on whether web design or print design, etc.  He said I could explain this in class during our presentation but now he made me think of changing my website altogether.  I don't have enough time but we'll see if I can tackle it in a few days...worst comes to worst I'll just have to present the original version.

I looked through this 200 best web design templates and now there's so many to choose from.

Second Post - yay!

This was my mail out flyer project that I created in my Illustrator class in term 2 that I will be including in my portfolio website.  I used all sorts of tools and different typography with different colour scheme that matches with my coffee logo.  There was a 3-d building poster that came with this but I am still revising it.

The stripe orange/white canopy, I used the pathfinder "minus" tool as I needed to make them even on the edge. I also included some vector images (on right) including the vintage background to give it a rustic style.

My First "Official" Blog

Writing my first BLOG

I’m Belinda.  I am a student taking the New Media Design and Web Development at the downtown campus BCIT.  In my Social Networking class, we were asked to create a Story Telling blog.  So I guess this is my first official blog.  I’m not totally sure yet what topic should I be blogging about but this is a start.  Just writing whatever I can think of right now.  Eventually, I may choose a photography or web/graphic design blog topic.  Currently, I am in the process of building my portfolio site so a “blog” page will be on the menu.  To talk about working on my portfolio, it is actually exciting but at the same time it requires a lot of work organizing and gathering all the contents, then eventually making the site live.  I will be putting six our my previous projects from previous terms. 

Here is a photo that I took last July.  Since school started, I haven’t been taking much photos.

Please like my facebook page.  I have not updated it since July but when I get a chance I will.  Will upload more photos soon!
