Portfolios- Reflection Blog

The purpose of my portfolio is so that it would be a great advantage for college preparation. This way it would get me an early start for my future. It would also help show that I have done some things that might come in handy. It is targeted towards the college professors and those that will be choosing the students that are qualify to get in. I also think that this would be a great and useful thing for job interviews later on in my life. And it would really help show the customers that I might be having to show them what I may be capable of doing.

For this portfolio I used the programs acrobat pro 9. I also had to use my previous work from first semester to put it into the acrobat. But to do so I had to convert all my files into pdf's because it is used by almost anywhere. So that it would be an easy access to my portfolio. I also used what the teacher had taught us about headers, welcome page and breaking down the portfolio to different parts. Then we basically had to save the portfolios with our name and period.

As for the file size, many were very large and would take a long time to load and save. So to save time and have still great quality of pictures we simply had to streamline the file size. For this process while we had to save the file to pdf there was an option on the top of this windows box that would appear then we would change the image view. Such as press quality, small image size and more.This would help to change image size a lot smaller. Such as from 30mb to about 266kb which you can see is a huge shrink of size. But it still preserves the quality of the picture and its color.

I really wouldn't say that my portfolio is an accurate example of my work so far. I think so because I think that my portfolio is quite empty. I personally think it would be really great if I had more things to add into my portfolio and make it more interesting. So that it would be engaging and make the audience go WOW! but it didn't really turn out as how I thought it should have looked. But I also don't want to add to much into the portfolio causing the file to get much bigger. Since right now my portfolio is already quite big and I want it to be a bit more smaller so it'd be fast to open up from anywhere and still preserve it's quality and color.
