The web folio illustrates the milestones I have experienced throughout English 301, showcasing my growth within the course, with new platforms to showcase my profile online, such as in LinkedIn. Having always preferred simplicity in my designs, my web folio strives to offer information in the most straightforward manner, which has also been one of my main goals throughout English 301. Although I admit to very basic social media design skills, I aimed to generate a site that represents a skill I have learned in this class, which is the clarity of information delivery.
Catering to the audience of potential employers for graduate school, gave my web folio an intentional path as I was creating it. Each page displays my strengths and skills, such as in my resume and best works, but the entire site illustrates a trajectory the improvements I have made throughout the term, and my dedication to each assignment. I was skeptical my abilities to create a user-friendly and organized site, and had to do a lot of preliminary reading on ways to create an engaging platform. Even though the site is not exactly how I had imagined in to be, due to the rigour of finals, the process of creating the site was very rewarding.
Main components of my web folio are the reflection posts embedded within the “Blogs” page. Each reflection captures the difficulties I had undergone through various assignments, but also demonstrates my learning and problem-solving skills. Reviewing previous reflections, I am grateful for all each milestone, or issue I ran into while writing, for it has contributed to my knowledge in technical writing.
