· Putting more thought into what I want to display in myself, I have sort of mapped out some of my objectives:
- My main targeted audience would be potential employers and other Public Relation professionals, as I think I want my focus to be on that work. I don’t have specific organizations in mind yet because I’m not sure where I want to work. Chicago, Seattle, Pittsburgh, and Boston are my top choice so far. I’d also try to appeal to anyone else in my field looking for my kind of examples or if they want to see how I’m moving towards the career I want. This could be anyone between the ages of 18 and 30.
- The three pieces that I have decided to use thus far:
·
Interactive Narrative: I think my Company
of Wolves project would be a great project to polish up and build upon for this
portfolio. It’s a project that doesn’t have to be static and is of course,
interactive. I think this is a good sample of work to use for my portfolio
because it shows experience with flipbook, different media, and writing, all
qualities useful to PR.
·
Infographic:
For my internship, I developed a year in review infographic to send to our general
followers to show what happened with us/what we did in 2015. It is in online
format and I think it is a good example of writing, graphics (obviously), and
creativity.
·
Flyers: For UPJ Backroads, I developed several
flyers and am currently working on a large poster. I think the flyers really
show off some of my abilities on Sketchbook, layouts, etc.
- I plan to create another website to display my portfolio for the ease of organizing it from scratch rather than catering my current blog. I think it will be able to display my ideal self the best (that identity being a PR/writing professional)
- For my final essay, I think a hyperlinked text essay would work well with my medium for the portfolio. I think it will be effective as sort of an introduction to my portfolio.
