Portfolio reflection blog :]

1. What was the purpose of your portfolio? Who is it targeted for, and who else do you think you can use it for?
The purpose of my portfolio was to show my skills in indesign and photoshop. I then used my portfolio to show my skills in creating it in adobe Pdf. I wanted to make this portfolio to show my future colleges and to show them that i had done something extra. I want to also use it to find jobs to show them my skills in photoshop. In the future i may want to get into this type of work.
2. How did you create it?
I created it in adobe acrobat pro and i first set up my folders leading to other folders in which the categories fit. I then used color schemes to use green because it is most pleasing to the eye. i chose to make my header so that people can contact me in the future.
3. How did you streamline the file size?
i first created each files in photoshop and indesign and using another copy of it, i saved them all as pdf files and Gif images to shrink down the image sizes.
4. Would you say that your portfolio is an accurate example of your work so far? Explain your answer.
My portfolio shows my improvement in my work. it is in chronological order and it shows how in my first projects and labs i was learning photoshop and indesign when towards the end, i was able to show my skills by building everything from scratch.

Creating documents with interactive features

How these features can be used by you for your web based brochure
I can use the animations such as pulse and layering pictures to make a interactive brochure. They can be used to make the person the brochure is based for be interested. i can use these interactions for the pictures i am going to place in it.
how these can you in planning out your brochure.
i can use these tactics in planning out my brochure by using basic features and when i come to making my real brochure i can come back to it and just make it more eye catching.
how do you think your client would react to having interactive features to the brochure.
i feel that having interactive brochures can make the person viewing the brochure have more of an interest and it can catch their eye. It will make them want to see what the brochure is about.
