This post concentrates on the process of creating my web folio.

It has been a rewarding experience for me to create a web folio. I was able to use what I have learned so far from the technical writing course and apply them to this project. The creation of my web folio is centered on audience selection, design, and organization.

Audience Selection

The first and foremost task was to select my audience. Since I am a third year computer science undergraduate currently looking for a co-op opportunity, I chose to design a web folio that would highlight the marketable skills that are relevant to the technology industry. Once this was decided, the rest of the web folio should be tailored to my potential employers.

Design

The text book provided much assistance when I began to design the web folio. It reminded me to use a friendly yet professional tone throughout. It was also a good idea to write concisely to  maintain the reader’s attention. By implementing the F-shaped reading pattern coupled with visuals, the web folio would be more attractive and easier to navigate.

Organization

The content organization was again tailored to the potential employers. As a result, I kept the bio page for more information about myself. In the Best Works page, I related the success of each of the writing piece to a skill that is transferrable to the technology industry.
