Graphic Design Portfolio

In the beginning of the second semester of my senior year I created a binder called a writing portfolio. It held all the assignments and essays I had finished in class. The writing portfolio is like a sapling that would grow to become a tree with each new addition of essays added to it. Academic Writing: English 151 was a grueling class that paid off in the long run. It was a difficult class that was insightful into writing well since it taught me the basic mechanics of grammar and English at the same time. It pushed me to the limits of writing at the utmost potential I was able to write. Some people might say that this class is just another English class with an embellished name to it, but it is nowhere close to a regular English class. It is literally a class that can be frightful at first glance because of the amount of essays we write at a college level.

Thank you for viewing my portfolio. This portfolio contains a compilation of my academic and professional achievements throughout my educational course work and professional career. Please take a moment to look within each tab to see my academic and professional activities.

With the availability of numerous website builders and online portfolio tools, many of which are free of charge, creating an online portfolio is both quick and easy. However, through the course of my research for this assignment

Many companies have implemented the benefit of tuition reimbursement. Tuition reimbursement benefits both the employer and the employee. Our company has approved a budget plan for the expansion of tuition reimbursement for those employees seeking a bachelor’s degree in business and communication. In most cases, companies begin determining whether or not to implement tuition assistance and/or tuition reimbursement during the developmental stages of the company’s benefit package. Other companies wait for the success of the company to begin rolling, and then decide to provide additional benefits for its employees. Offering tuition assistance to employees seeking a bachelor’s degree in business and communication, will qualify employees for new internal professional opportunities. Having employees with bachelor’s degree in business and communications will also benefit the company both financially and socially.

For this assignment, I will be explaining how my portfolio, meets my target audience and purpose.

Make sure that you spend 1 or 2 blocks for students to choose work to be included in the portfolio. Take a picture of the pieces of work and place them according to your subject.

AVID Portfolio by Daniel Narvaez A few ways that AVID class helped me improve, develop, and build my collaboration skill is that in AVID class we frequently and regularly do tutorials that require students to work together and collaborate to better understand and build upon lessons we had previously learned in other classes. My communication skill is shown in my Algebra class as Ms.Dangra’s, Ms.Pekato’s, and Ms. Gregory’s Algebra classes paired students into small groups of three to four students to work together on extra credit work and recovery assignments to improve our grades. My character development is shown through my grade reports and also my report card as I improve and increase my grades.

The first piece of my portfolio is my resume. The original copy of my resume lacked a branding statement and did not have a summary of qualifications. I learned through the process that

I never really thought about college until high school. Family and teachers talked to me about what I wanted to do in life and how college could help me pursue it. Before starting my college portfolio my classmates and I were requested a website called scois.org by Spartanburg High School’s career specialist, Addie Jones. Scois(South Carolina Career Information System) is a career website, to help you plan your career, learn about a career, and provide you with schools and information along with your desired career.Scois has helped me compare college where I plan to attend, which are: The Arts Institute of Charleston, Claflin University, SCAD, and University of North Carolina Greensboro. The website lets me compare the schools, wether it’s

Their Behance portfolios are in the small views, for audiences to see and explore the details of the images when they enter the project page and allows them to appreciate and share their work. The reason for that differences is marketing strategies. They market their projects to appeal to the audience and exhibit their work to inspire the audiences. These images can turn the viewer attention on the tone and details of the images, create a desire to explore, and give feedbacks on images. This strategy can increase the audience’s desire to learn the personality of the images and keep their interests in

The three assignments that I have included in my e-portfolio include my instruction set on how to perform a PennDOT regulated bridge inspection, a civil engineering internet resource guide, and a researched argument paper on gun control. I learned the importance of being able to say exactly what you mean to get people to understand something from writing the instruction set. I compiled a large pool of resources for designing bridges through completing the internet resource guide that can be used throughout the beginning of my career. The researched argument paper taught me how to effectively take a stance on a topic of debate, and address both sides while giving the reasoning and thinking behind my opinion. These projects show my ability to communicate in a variety of different situations. The main skill I have

Current Tools: Upon selection of the type of branding portfolio you want to create, collect all your best-work artifacts and take an honest look. Remember, you are the brand. Technology advances quickly and that needs to be

There are number of projects that I could include in my professional portfolio, but I have narrowed it down to three artifacts that I think would stand out. The first artifact that I choose is DD report, which I conducted in intro to motor behaviors class, the second piece is a fact sheet epidemiology and the third piece is a virtual child project from developmental psychology. The reason why I am choosing each of these is because they all are from different departments and areas of study. One project is from my major class, one is from my minor and the last one is from an elective class.

After researching to find a career field; using a career cluster and pathway; I was able to make a decision on what I want to do for a career. I found graphic design would be best as my career of choice. If I were to become an employed as a graphic designer, I would have to create visual concepts using computer software. Another option would be to take a more paper and pencil style approach. I would also have to communicate ideas that inspire, inform, and captivate the consumer. A graphic designer also develops the overall layout and production design for various applications such as advertisements, brochures, magazines, and corporate reports.

Portfolios have been used to showcase the work of artists, fashion designers, models, photographers and architects, spanning several decades (M.Williams., K.Jordan., 2007) These career portfolios have been adopted in to the nursing profession where they serve as an augmentation but not a replacement of their curriculum vitae (Lettus, 2001). They have not only transcended beyond the traditional listing of basic information such as relevant past work experiences and positions held, educational institutions attended and achievements but provide additional information that resumes would have presented (M.J. Jone., 2007). A professional portfolio is a thoughtfully prepared and organised compilation of different types of professional information and evidence that illustrate an individual’s record of continuing professional development activities, skills, experiences, knowledge, competencies, professional achievements and goals as well as their level of expertise that one has attained as a result of their experiences.’ (Andre & Heartfield, 2011)The basic components of a professional portfolio include personal details, resume and documents such as certificates graduate transcripts, licensure, (Davis, 2015) professional organisation memberships, professional awards, annual performance appraisals, dates of promotions, recommendations from current or previous supervisors or employers, peers and others (Timmins & Duffy, 2011).
