Your online portfolio shows the breadth of your skills and work. You will use this to market yourself, send to potential employers and link to on your social media. Aside from choosing appropriate works to inside the portfolio, special attention should also be paid to the organization and description of works. Providing context in this mode is most important as you will not be there to tell the story of your works.

- a minimum of 20 works/ projects
- a bio / design statement, with contact info and a resume that can be printed

Your grade will be based on four elements: 1) Overall visual design of the portfolio; 2) Organization of works; 3) Context; 4) Professionalism
