Project 6: Portfolio

Project Description:

For this assignment, you will create a Flash Web site or presentation that serves as a self promotion/portfolio piece demonstrating your abilities as a designer. I encourage you to use past projects from this class as portfolio pieces, but feel free to include projects from other classes as well. This Web site should contain no less than 5 projects, contact information, your featured work, and anything else that would be helpful to a potential employer.

In addition to building this project, you will enlist another student in the class to try out your in-progress portfolio and provide a critique that will be delivered to both the portfolio creator and me.  The critique can be informal, but must either be printed out and provided to me or emailed to me.

Lastly, this final project and all of your past projects from this class must have accompanying Adobe PDFs with screen captures.
