Why Create a Portfolio?
Portfolios (good ones at least,) demonstrate to employers that you have the qualities and skills they want; (Kimball 2003)
![Page 12: 3601ICT PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE AND PORTFOLIO](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051214/56813123550346895d979481/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Planning a Portfolio
The basic steps are not so different than any other project you have worked on…
What do you think are the main steps involved???????

Portfolio planning: define Audience Who are you pitching this at?
It may be for a specific application or perhaps a more general approach
Consider what prospective employers you will pitch at? (what areas of interest? Games, educational software etc)
![Page 15: 3601ICT PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE AND PORTFOLIO](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051214/56813123550346895d979481/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Portfolio planning: define goal and objectives Goal: “to showcase (provide evidence)
your skills and abilities”
Objectives: (what are the specific skills and abilities you want to provide evidence of?)
For example: To provide evidence of my:
excellent design skills for page layout,
ability to produce original graphics,
ability to program database driven websites,

Portfolio planning: deciding on the content Look at your objectives – find work that
clearly provides evidence as unambiguously as possible for each objective.

Portfolio design Information design (categorise assets,
prioritise assets, navigation design, flow chart, usability...)
Visual design (style, images and graphics, font, identity, colour schemes...)
How will it standout? What gives it my personal feel? What will make it memorable (for the right reasons).

A critical look at some portfoliosfrom 2009-2011
Class discussion:How well do each of the portfolios - provide evidence?- validate professionalism?- communicate their message?
