Tommy Spero's Web portfolio, soultooth.com was built using Macromedia
Flash. The simplicity behind the operational features of the site can be attributed
to thoughtfulness during the content development, information architecture, and
design stages of the project. The site is a great example of individualized,
audience appropriate style with exceptionally usable functionality. The com-
plexity of this site design cannot be seen from screenshots or even from visiting
the site. However, soultooth.com is an advanced Web portfolio in the produc-
tion methods used to create it.

Special educator and kindergarten teacher Kimberly DiMarco had specific
goals when she created her Web portfolio. As a kindergarten teacher, Mrs.
DiMarco wanted to have a Web portfolio that was fun and showed a thematic
metaphor that included crayons. Creatively, Mrs. DiMarco used in interface in
a Web portfolio made of crayons. When rolling over the crayons, a line rolled
out with the navigation text. This clever idea is a good example of paying close
attention to a style that will appeal to a target audience.

portfolio works to demonstrate knowledge and experience fostering
educational philosophy and teaching standards based curriculums.)
