This is my first time creating a web folio, which I found both exciting and intimidating. Being a technologically challenged person, I decided to use the UBC Blog site since this site is one that I became accustomed with. I wanted my web folio to reflect who I am as a student and a dental professional but also include some personal touches. I have included a few photos of my recent camping trips from all over Ontario.
Design
I like my site to be less cluttered and friendly to the eyes and put my reader into a calm and relaxed mood. As a calligrapher, I like simple designs and easy to read fonts. Unlike my exciting camping trips, I am not very adventurous when it comes to creating my web folio. I’ve used the same font throughout my web folio, Times Roman, which I find very pleasing to the eyes.
Visuals
I want my readers to get to know me not only from what I write on my web folio but also through the photos of the places I frequently visit. Each page displays a personal photo of my favorite provincial parks in Ontario. One photo I included was taken three years ago at Killarney Provincial Park. I chose not to include pictures or visuals directly from the internet as I wanted my web folio to be personalized and only include my own photographs.
Content
My web folio is a compilation of English 301 course assignments, biography, resume, application package and LinkedIn Profile. Each page has a short description to introduce each assignment which also guides the reader in navigating throughout my site.
Although creating this web folio was challenging I immensely enjoyed and found it rewarding.
