Spring Semester Blog #9 (April 22nd, 2021):  E-Portfolio Assignment

For my E-portfolio assignment there are many aspects I considered when deciding how I was going to create it.  I first examined how I was going to create a visually appealing website.  To do so, I examined multiple suggested site builders and decided that Wix.com was the best website for the image I was trying to create.  I wanted it to look clean-cut and modern and that is exactly what Wix.com could provide.   The purpose of my E-portfolio project is to display the best works I have created over the year throughout RCL.  I am essentially creating a museum out of my own work.  The audience for my personal “museum” of work would be students in RCL, the professor, and the TA’s.  It is these individuals that would being viewing my work, so I therefore want to tailor everything I do to them.  I would probably group my work based on larger themes.  Therefore, one of my themes would be advocacy, one would be fun or spontaneous writing (passion blogs), and another would be political writings (civic issues blogs).  I chose these writings because these are where my best works were produced, and I obviously want to display my best work to the public.    I am choosing about 3 pieces of writing from each that way I have around nine artifacts which is the required number of artifacts for this project.  I hope to make the website visually appealing so that it draws people in and motivates them to look around the site more so than just the homepage.  I think that seeing that would be an indication of a successful project.
