What is a Portfolio?

A portfolio is a collection of documents and writing that you assemble in order to demonstrate that you have the appropriate prior and experiential learning to earn university level credit.

Portfolios can be paper-based or electronically based (e-portfolio). 

So, we had this project that was about creating our own portfolios and focusing on the major that we want.

I used the Adobe Illustrator for this project

I opened lots of pages to place my info, university logo and grid all at once by Edit-paste in all pages. 

The first page is the cover. The colors of the theme represent who I am and the straight lines represent Interior Design

After that I did a summary CV which has some of my personal information such as abilities, languages and skills.

Here where the content is which has the sections that the porfolio has.

And then I have made the sections with the same theme

Here I started organizing my projects and I separated them into the sections above and I wrote descriptions for each project individually.

The Typography and Layout are so important so you have to mind that while designing your portfolio.

for example:

I enjoyed working on this project because it made me appreciate my previous works that I forgot about or didn't think that they were good. But now I know how to create a portfolio and what to put in as content.

Lastly, I've learned a lot by trying a new thing as all this subject is about and I'd never regret anything because I gave each work a piece of my heart, time and patience. So, I'm proud of who I became and I hope that I improve a lot more in the future.

The ninth lecture - المحاضرة التاسعة

April 19th, 2017

In this lecture we filmed our stop-motion video

at first we started preparing the set-up and the camera settings

And then we brought the brain and slowly moving it until it is where we wanted it to be, after that each idea came in trying to enter but the brain refused to accept anything

the brain came out while the man's head entered

The head started opening, ideas and colors came out representing the persons mind who accepts and respects every other openion/point of view

last but not least a quote comes upside down and it was the conclusion (by editing)

I've had so much fun creating this project which has taught me how to use a tripod, how to set-up camera setting and to execute my ideas properly

For the stop motion project, my classmate partner and I drew a storyboard to be our guide while we film the video.
