By the end of the semester, you’ll have created and compiled work that shows how you write across media, which you’ll post to your own website. We’ll go over website creators and design options for this in class. You'll have opportunities at the beginning and middle of the semester to talk with me about the goals you want to set for this portfolio, as well as potential changes you want to make to the central portfolio expectations. Your final portfolio should include, unless we agree on alterations or remixes, the following elements:
 

• Major Project 1: Interactivity and Audience, with a Statement of Goals and Choices

• Major Project 2: Remediation, with a Statement of Goals and Choices

• Major Project 3: Transmedia Advocacy, with a Statement of Goals and Choices

• 5-6 of your weekly Multimodal Experiments that represent a range of your work

• 5-6 of your in-class writings that show how your ideas have evolved over the course of the semester

• A final assessment of your work in the course

​

As you compile your portfolio, consider what you want to highlight about what you've learned and created this semester. What skills have you gained? What choices did you make as a writer and designer? How did your process change over the course of the semester? 

​

You also might decide to aim for a professional context when creating your portfolio, either by practicing or actually creating a artistic/design portfolio, or job portfolio. We'll spend time in class talking about these options, and the considerations that go into professional portfolios and website. 

​

Consider how you'll design and frame your work on your website as well. You can balance playfulness with professionalism, or create a website that reflects your personality and aesthetic. Portfolios are a reflection of your identity, so think about how you can bring your own unique approach to the table through multimodal design.
