Portfolio: Looking for Opinions
Posted: Mon Aug 03, 2009 12:33 am
Hello!
Well, this'll be my second official post.
I'll be heading back to school in August and I've developed my portfolio as a way to have been accepted into the Graduate program. I currently am looking for a job in Web Development (currently not in it, sadly), and have this so far as my portfolio. I'd like to get opinions on how to improve and, if anyone is willing to provide, advise suggestions on what one should try to learn as part of a Master's (FYI: I have a New Media degree, with HTML/CSS experience, along with a certain amount of competence in JavaScript along with some PHP) to obtain a good position.
Anyway, here's the link to the portfolio:
http://www.kelleykreativesonline.com
Let me know what you think of it, and any improvements that could be made.
To make it easier, here's the source JavaScript that controls the site's functions:
Any suggestion for improvement would be most appreciated. Thank you!
NOTE: I apologize if this is posted in the wrong section.
EDIT: I'd appreciate any opinions at all...
