31215a - Progress challenge 03

Creating your presentation

In this progress challenge, you will assemble all the knowledge gained through your research and create an online portfolio of your work. Remember to provide a URL for your portfolio for your trainer to view.

Begin by selecting your best original graphic design work that you have created throughout this unit (or older work created before beginning this course) that you believe is relevant to the kind of industry that you would like to work within in the future.

Remember only to choose your strongest images, as any ‘filler’ could risk your potential client/boss closing your portfolio. It is much better to present a smaller portfolio full of strong images than a larger portfolio that could dilute your strengths. It is great to have a diverse portfolio, but try to stick to one theme of work that is supported by your presentation choices.

Are there any elements of your presentation that you have borrowed from other designers? Remember the difference between appropriation and plagiarism, and detail how you have obtained and recorded any copyright clearance you may need for any portion of your portfolio.

Now it is finally time to put all the elements of your work together to create your portfolio. For the purpose of this assignment, we require you to create your portfolio through an online platform.

You may choose to use any of the platforms listed, such as FolioHD and Word press, or something different. Explore each platform first and be aware that they may take differing amounts of time to set up.

Track your work progress throughout the creation of your portfolio. How quickly did you work? What was the cost of creating this work? Reflect on these findings and create three new tables that represent a realistic budget, timeline and workflow plan.

TIP: Navigate to the student forum to engage in the discussion with your peers.

Now that you have completed the Progress challenge, you may submit your work for feedback and discussion.

Instructions

• Write 400 words and complete as a PDF.

• Navigate to the self-check page to submit.

TIP: If you choose to complete each progress challenge as you work through the module, the process of completing your assessment tasks will take a lot less time.
