Digital Skills

Creating my Portfolio website...


What is the purpose of the website?
The purpose of my website will be to showcase my work to hundreds of people online. It will be an online diary of what I am doing within the graphic design world and will show the best of my work and have a range of different tasks that I have had to create. The website will include a lot of pieces of design that I have created including stationary sets, posters, logos and many other things. However the purpose of the design is not just to showcase my work to other graphic designers but also to show that I can also create a website, and to show my work to potential customers.
How many pages would you like? What do you want to put in these pages?
I think my website will include four main pages that then run off into different category’s but I don’t want to make my website too over powering and would prefer to keep the design as simple as possible. In my portfolio website I will consider using three or four pages including an about me page, a page with my portfolio and an overall / homepage.
Who is the target audience?
The target audience for my portfolio website will be small companies and businesses looking for design work. My work will specifically be aimed in an illustration directed format so the target audience will be people looking for illustrative design so the audience will be people that are more modern and up to date with there designs and my target will be to stay away from more corporate businesses that stick to strict rules and regulations. My portfolio will have to be appropriate for illustration based design companies so that if I was to apply for a job I could include my portfolio website.
Do you want some interactivity?
I would like a certain amount of interactivity on my website for people to be able to be directed to my email if they wanted to ask any questions. I would consider using a twitter feed and creating a design based twitter.
