an artist, educator, and designer while providing a visually beautiful and
intuitively engaging experience.
When planning your Web portfolio, think about your strengths. How can they
be evidenced? What is the most important message left behind from your
content? In my case, I want the user to feel that my site portrays a professional
educator who has strong design sense and has paid attention to make his Web
portfolio a great user experience. In addition, I need the user to navigate
through my Web portfolio with a feeling of intuitive confidence while enjoying
the work. To achieve this, I tried to impart a style that is organized and clean.
My stylistic focus will be on integrating images and other work into an open
portal with strict typographic and design consistency. Header graphics for each
page will include a personal logo. Each page will have a consistent Web safe
color for the page backgrounds.
You might want your portfolio to utilize a style that is based on your personal
themes. Maybe you like nature and want to use earth tones and nature images
