Christian Kinch Reflection Blog Period 8

1. The purpose of my portfolio is to show colleges and/or jobs the progression and abilities of my work in Abode Photoshop and InDesgin. It is mainly targeted for colleges who have web design programs or computer which can help me increase my abilities in Photoshop and/or other Adobe programs. But at the same time, I can also use this portfolio to get a job in Web Designing.

2. I created my portfolio using a program called Adobe Reader Pro 9. In the toolbar, you click "File" and then click an option that says "Create portfolio" or a similar option to that. From there you have various ways to create your own portfolio. You can add headers, a welcome page, change the color scheme and things of that nature.

3. There are some portfolios that can be too large in file size, so it's takes a long time to look at them. But there is a way to lower the file size of the portfolio. The way you do this is by changing all of your files such as .psd, .jpg, etc. to . PDFs Then you have to change the quality of the PDFs to get the best quality but at the lowest file size.

4. In my opinion, I do not think that my portfolio is an accurate example of my work so far. The reason i say that is, some of the files like my labs, I was unable to find. So my portfolio is not completed thus far. It does have some of my completed projects, but not any of the labs that went along with them.
