I can’t say that my portfolio is terribly untraditional. It’s rather traditional actually, web-page, content, type, links to resume, etc. Rather normal and expected from a college student. Which is good, in a sense, because if you stray too far from the norm you risk going over the edge into the deep sea of unhappy folk who will steal your lunch money.
If I were to do one though, I’d imagine mine being like a tome. One of those secret books of an underground civilization where it can lead to great riches or deep curses depending on the heart of who reads one. Have it look all mythic and ancient and somesuch. I dunno, I’ve always found those books to look so neat, although kinda creepy. Like it’ll reach out and bite your face off if you wrinkle it’s pages. Regardless, that’s for the future, y’know, when half of my stuff isn’t web pages and would look half decent in the aforementioned dusty old tome of face-biting.
While writing this and looking over the final chapter of Designing a Digital Portfolio, I already have my web site completely done, for the most part, so a lot of this is redundant. At least the static designing parts and somesuch. They do, admittedly, have some interesting parts in there, such as the whole bit on navigation and whatnot.
At this point though, there isn’t much that I can say that I haven’t said before. This portfolio is gonna be the spring board into the real, horrifying world of face-biting books.
On that note, I leave this final posting regarding the books that I’ve read with a simple, yet elegant animation.
