This week I began what I thought was the most complicated task so far – selecting the pieces of work which I will be including in my portfolio. I began with choosing some of the work which I had created as a freelancer but then decided against it as I would then have to contact the person who commissioned it and await their approval before proceeding to make use of it. So instead I ended up choosing from my personal pieces of work.
The next step also took me a long time, since I was creating my portfolio digitally I couldn’t just bung it all in to one large page. Therefore I decided to create a separate page for the different categories of work which I would be displaying. This would make it much easier and actually make the most of the digital interface since the viewer can go back and forth between any number of pages tirelessly, and also because they don’t have to remember how many physical pages ago they saw something which they wish to visit again since all the links will be visible on the page at one time.
I’ve finally imported all of the images in to Adobe Flash and am beginning to code the separate components on the page. At the moment I am having a lot of trouble with having the images pop up once the thumbnails have been clicked on, I am also having trouble with the scroll bar. When the content of the page exceeds the content page I have attached a small scroll bar to the side which should allow you to scroll down and view the rest of the content – the problem is that the scroll bar will either show you the content which is right at the top of the page or the content right at the bottom of the page, but nothing in between. This is becoming a big problem as I am having to sacrifice the size of my text and thumbnails to try and squeeze it all in which has resulted in it all looking cramped now. I guess my next task is to find some forums online where somebody can offer me some assistance solving this.
