Portfolio Sites

Many people are looking at getting their portfolio site set up over the break.

Here's some cool sites I've found:

Carbon Made

It's free but the free version is limited, if you want to pay it's not too expensive. Minimal customization.

Cargo Collective

A few people in the class have this, it's by invitation only - or you can request to join.

If you're interested in this site, ask around in the Junior class and someone can invite you.

Personally for my page (www.pamelabarba.com)

I used blogger. Blogger doesn't have very many options, but I found this cool layout and it's the most affordable option right now. ($10/year includes domain name and hosting)

If you're interested in getting set up with blogger, I can help you. :)

A lof of people also use Wordpress (http://akeemmasondesign.com/)

With wordpress you have waaaaay more options as far as cool layouts. It comes at a price though,

I can help you get set up with wordpress if you are interest.

Anri uses Yola (http://www.anriolivier.com/)

She designed a bunch of their templates and I'm sure she could help ya, get a nice one set up also.

I'm not sure about the cost of Yola, but I know it's not as cheap as Blogger.

That's all the portfolio research I have right now!

If you're interested in getting your portfolio over the break, get started!

It's really nice seeing all your work together online, and a great way to start on your internship hunt!

Let me know if you need any help :)

Finish with all edits done.

I love the way this project turned out.

Text only no image!

I found this spread where there was only text without any help of images and it was still very nicely layout and affective. I love the white space here.
