devry and e portfolios

so, i seem to have missed a few things, and here they are:

first, devry, for those of you who weren't here for some reason or other, I enjoyed the presentation, even though it took time away from my dvd/game covers that I really need to finish. Other than that, I enjoyed the presentation, but although while it was helpful, i'm not quite sure that it will be something i'll be continuosly intrested in. It almost seems to me that when you make/use extra things, it just overcomplicate a process that could be done with fewer tools. It might take longer, but it would be that much easier fo others to understand.

next, on E-portfolios. Five tips that make a good E-portfolio are:
1 Make sure it is easy to navigate. This is probably the most important one. You could have great ideas and great works but if people can't find your work, you're S.O.L. I know I've been on some websites with remarkably bad navigation, and just desided to quit before i could find anything.
2 Make sure it's easy for potential clients to contact you. Self explanatory, but important. if nobody can contact you, no jobs, and once you run out of spare housepets, YOU STARVE.
3 A portfolio sit should be easy to update. This is more for your sake than the clients, but if a portfolio isn't easy to update, typically you will update less, and then more than likely forget to put new stuff up at all.
4 A portfolio sit should only showcase your best work. NEVER show bad stuff and say this is your worst. Anybody who hires you will want to believe that you are some sort of machine who can put out good work after good work. Anything bad will make them think that you will create something like that again.
5 Provide a downloadable resume. This one does not seem to be important, untill you realize that the majority of the human population are lazy or procrastinating or forgetful sloths that will not do an ounce of work untill they have to because the are doing other things (also why I forgot to put this update up, but in my defense I was busy working on other things). Anyway, people are lazy, and a lot of them won't even bother reading your resume untill it is downloadable. When you finally do though, they won't download it, they'll only read/skim it online, but they like to think they have the option.
