My portfolio I would have to say is not the best. Because I am not very technological, I feel like that really held to my disadvantage. However, what is displayed on my homepage is definitely me. I have a fun picture and colors that are bright to represent me. These little things account for what I want viewers to see me as. Although my interest in creating a webpage is somewhat minimal, because of the fact that it is not one of my strengths, I do understand the idea behind creating a good one.
By displaying my work on a website it is easier for readers to understand the overall tone and image of a paper. This is possible because not only is it just the text in black and white, but you can add any kind of color any where you want. In addition the font can be adjusted to portray your tone. In a sense it is more exciting to have a portfolio online rather than in a plain portfolio. I want my readers to understand in my work that there are different tones, in some areas I am serious but in others I can be sarcastic. This is easily captured by readers when you have fun fonts or just simple ones. Also the visual pictures can aid in this as well. Especially in my second paper on Hugh Hefner it is easy for the readers to understand who he is (if they do not know of him) and what messages he gives off. I choose specific pictures to coincide with my writing to make it more understandable and enjoyable to read.
In conclusion, there are certain areas where I try to use visual texts to my advantage especially when trying to convey a certain tone, however when it comes to my homepage and certain areas like that, I simply will never be very good.
