CREATING WEBFOLIO

Although this is my first time, creating Webfolio has been a very pleasing and challenging experience for me. I’m enjoying every moment I spent in editing, building up, and especially designing my Webfolio. Due to my sister’s influence as a graphics designer, I really like layout designing (despite lacking the ability). Unfortunately, since my major of study is nowhere design-related, I don’t have much opportunity to spend on it. Therefore, I was really pumped up on this project and put many things on my to-do checklist, which some I couldn’t accomplish in the end because the deadline for this WebFolio crashed with the deadline of another course’s term project and some urgent personal issue required me to push back all my schedule.

Compared to others, I find editing my proposal for formal report to be the hardest task. I realize that I had not express my intention properly on my proposal and my words are not convincing enough to persuade the audience, in this case Langara’s MATH 1150 instructor, to agree with my suggestion on assessing visual notes effectiveness on eliminating math anxiety. Although there were many ideas I had in mind, I couldn’t structure them in proper order and express them using the right words. I feel regretful that the final revision of my proposal is still somewhat unsatisfactory, but it is the best I can come up with.

Creating a short introduction to every post was also a bit difficult, because I must summarize everything into a concise and effective paragraph. Sometimes, the content of the post can be very general, but to enhance readers’ interest, I have to introduce it in an interesting and engaging way. Finding the right visuals for my Webfolio is also more challenging that it may seem because I want to make them personalized enough for my Webfolio to represent my individuality. What I had in mind initially was to put visual for every post, but given the time pressure I had to cut it down.

Despite the chaos behind its creation, this Webfolio project has been a very fulfilling and enjoyable experience. I find Webfolio as an effective self-customized media that packs all the achievements and efforts in an interactive way, which allows future employer to see candidates not only as a potential employee, but also their individualities dynamically.
