Now that Ginger Brew is ready to show its time to move onto the next project! *drum roll* My show case! this will feature my portfolio a little about me and what I can do for the public (and hopefully future people wanting to hire me! woot!) So! A few things I have picked up on my research.
Part of what makes an awesome portfolio is:
-Have a logo, This should be something that fits you and what your about or like what my teacher says "your gig" This will help to set you apart from the others.
-Make sure to talk about what you can do or want to do more of. Might help you snag a job from someone,
ex: If you like to make web pages then say so!
-When talking about yourself, keep it professional yet welcoming. You want to create a bond with the person looking at your site but you don't want to creep them out either. keep the drinking stories out, talk about some struggles you have had to over come and your educational background.
-blog or twitters are a great way for people to track what your up to and another way to create a bond. Also it will give them an idea of how you think and do things.
-Finally come up with a little tagline. Cant hurt right? use this as a way to really define what you can do.
Alright now that all of that is out of the way...Here is few links to check out !

This is what I am thinking about right now, I like to keep things simple and easy to access. Also adding my logo to this for now as well. I want to combine my illustrations skills and do something with nature to tie in my logo. there will be a lot of sketches for this but just some wire frames for now.
