Today ive started to create my portfolio
yes, im only 16, but is that a reason not to create one?
I mean surely its better to have it done sooner than later and just update it when its needed
[clever thinking batman!]
---------
But thats not what this is about!, oh nooo
Whilst Im creating my portfolio, i came up with a little 'side idea' as it were
anyways...it is A Competition
muahah *shudder*
okay.. rules
- * Must be at minimum 3 pages [1024 x 768 minimum size]
* CANNOT use MS Word or any other CHEAP program to create it [lol], we want professionalism!
* Due date is 3 weeks from now, its a long thing to do blah..
Thus Making due date 24th July [maybe 23rd, depends whats going on with peoples lives and work loads etc.]
* MUST be your own personal work featured, no 'team works' etc.
* I'll allow chops, but 2 at maximum. Imagine the company your trying to sell out to isnt really into chopping and cars. ['cause theyre stupid
]
* Animations ARE allowed but make sure they wont bandwidth rape nfsu.net.
If you want to use high bandwidth testing animations, host upto imageshack or another imagehost, and provide a link, not a direct post of the image.
* Good standard of English language is required, remember we're going for realism here.
* Flash CAN be used, I know some on the forums know their way around it
But try to remember half the time a portfolio would be paper based, although CD's are becoming more used.
- -- Keep information about your self short and sweet, dont babble on for hours about your home life. Remember the employer has to read through hundreds maybe even thousands of these things when looking to employ!
-- Core Skills. Make a bulleted list of what your REALLY good at using, Adobe Photoshop CS2 your all probably gunna' write down?
-- Employment History. Its necessary. Although i havnt got one [never had a job] im guessing some of us here have? Dont put down 'paper boy' or silly underminining jobs that mean nothing to the employer.
-- Education & Qualifictions. Put them in reverse order, so University at the top etc...
-- Try to keep a theme going about the portfolio. Dont have one page all dark and grungy and then the next page all bright and colourful.
Throw your imagination into it, it'l pay off!
I think i might judge this along with sir ibi, if thats okay with him of course
?winner gets a haribo!
All in all HAVE FUN!
Pm me with any questions etc..
I'll also post up snippets of my real one, to give you an idea etc.
