1. Introduction
Today I'm writing about what's going to be in my Digital Portfolio and how it's going to
look like. And making people's minds be dragged towards my website.

My portfolio is aimed at Exa Networks who employ IT apprentices. It will be part of my

application and making people know that they and I are capable of high standard work
and letting people know what's going on with the world.
The styles that I have chosen are red, white and a bit of black.
Let's talk about designs, so I'm secure with my design being red with a a bit of black,
I did research. I try alternatives. And some websites have this colour.

The ‘About me’ page will feature information about myself that I feel potential employers
will be impressed with. It will include my age name and what school I was previously
attending.my achievements. I have helped a lot of people with special projects, I have
received a lot of achievements with my excellent work and made people run their
organization with the best looking websites.
Hobbies and interests are make up and being a helpful person towards others.

Moving on to my storyboard, I have decided all the slides will have the same color,
maybe mix them abit with different designs.
For section 1 I would have red and white with a different font, if it's something important
then i would add bold
Section 2 would be the same color but different font and design and different news.
That's how the pattern is going to be. I have a big interest in IT as well so I could do
both.

2. User Requirements. will expect to see loads of stuff because that's what the
requirement is about.
The employers will have to type the website in or the link and they will be presented with
my website. They will be able to access this Internet. PC laptop chromebook mac
mobile phone (ios and android)

3. Styles.
Now the styles will look very appealing, in my opinion the color should be very
interesting as well, the colour will be red white and abit of black with the designs being a
lot different compared to each section.

4. Home Page

Navigation bar with links to the other pages on my Digital Portfolio. IT related
background images to give the viewer an immediate sense of the nature of my job
application.

Secondly, the pages will include images, text and if it's important then it will be included
in bold writing highlighted.

5. Profile Page

So let's talk about me. I'm very helpful, I love helping others with their problems and
making sure that they are doing well, also making sure people's voices are heard if they
are speaking stuff with an appropriate meaning.
I am going to use images related to IT and explain what my Digital Portfolio is all about.

2.1. About Me.

On the ‘About me’ page I will again use IT related images as the background.

I will be providing information about myself relevant to job applications.

I will try and make this interesting to potential employers.

My hobbies are football and being the best at everything .

2.2. Purpose.
I have created a portfolio to show you people that grades on a paper do not describe
you as a person, even if i don't get the job i was willing to get i will keep trying just to
make my mum smile will bring a lot of happiness in my eyes. It will be split into different
sections with each part. I have chosen this work because I'm a fan of IT and business
work, it has been my dream.

6. Future Page.
The importance of planning is the main thing because once you have it all planned then
the rest is very easy because you will have a good idea of what your work will look like.
And in the future if people disagree with the stuff I will change it to whatever the
community's voice will be appealing towards. It will look something similar to this

3.1 Next Steps

Next I will make my community proud of what I do and make sure my work is on point
never disappointing anyone or even the managers. I will try my best to be the best at my
job. Always be on time and be equipped with my working gear. To achieve this goal I
have to be at the top of my game and make sure no one is in my way and if they are I
need to focus more on myself.

3.2 Two Year Plan

Will be studying in university or be working hopefully if things go as planned, and will be

working hard to achieve that goal. And making sure my attendance is on point same
with my behavior, last but not least have my assignments due in on time.

3.3 Five Year Plan

Write what you want to be doing in five years and how you will achieve that. If things do
go as planned my goal is within 5 years i will be working and having the best business
going and making the community proud of what they are interested in and make sure
the appropriate changes are made without hessitation.

7. Units.
Now moving to describing the unit I studied in this course, which is actually IT personally
the best course for me. This screen mock up I did about make up thought it would be
interesting as well.could make many more as well.this is my previous website i made to
help someone.

4.1 Unit 1 - The online world

Is an exam based unit.

Now this unit will be about a lot of different stuff I have done in the past and telling the
community what needs working on to make us very valuable. I will be showing some
work from my previus assignments. As you can see it is very good. I wouldn't say the
best still learning on some improvements.The screen mockup will look very interesting
once done still a lot of improvement needed.

4.2 Unit 2 - Technology Systems

this unit will have loads of examples of what my stuff will look like most importantly this
unit will have a modern look to a new start making my business stand out and making it

a lot easier to travel and see what's going on

4.3 Unit 9 - Spreadsheet development

This spreadsheet will be very helpful making me store some of my data in thor and
making it a lot easier compared to storing it in different places, now i will show a ough
mock up of what it will look like and how it will turn out.

4.4 Unit 11 - Computer Networks Computer networking refers to interconnected

computing devices that can exchange data and share resources with each other. These
networked devices use a system of rules, called communications protocols, to transmit
information over physical or wireless technologies.

Now moving on to a web designer web design is a professional IT that develops and
makes the designs of your work look excellent also, very easy to do. A good web
designer needs to have both creative graphic skills and technical skills.

8. Design Justification.
I have chosen this color because a lot of
people like this color . I love this color scheme too. Most people might not agree but
what i do know a lot of people did help me with choosing this color. It also meets the
purpose with my website because of the color I chose. It stands out and is very visible. I
think this is very suitable as well.

The assets make a big difference for example if a person that can't see much or have
eye problems it would make it a lot easier because the interface would help them out
alot. I will have options there for color blind people and people that can't see the writing
as much.

9. Alternate Designs
The two designs, I did choose the fancy writing because not a lot of people will be a fan
of it, it could be a good way to make your website stand out.also using plain colors
because it would make a website a lot boring and a lot of people will not like it, ir could
also make a good website look bad because people might not be able to see it as much.

10. Asset Registry.

 Elise Cook

I will be talking about interactive features for example the buttons on my website are not
plain, they are very reactive so as soon as you click you will be taken to another page
with a speed of light that also depends on your internet speed. The user interface of the
website is very excellent in my opinion because it is very easy for the people to serve
and access.

17. User Feedback.

Feedback from George thirkill

18. Conclusion.
I have learned a lot of things from these assignments such as how long it takes to make
a great website that will grab someone's attention and make them interested. More
importantly this has made me improve my work a lot and made me write better using so
much better vocabulary.
