Here it goes!

To begin transforming my website into the final, portfolio form, I stared by creating a new UMW blog. The one I used for blogging about work was still very messed up from where I played with the CSS code. I picked a simple blog theme, one with a nice wide banner that I could replace with my own banner. As the title of my portfolio is “where do we go from here?” I used a photo I took of my shoes one day to crop and create the banner, it looks quite cool. Then I had to adjust the fonts. I wanted something interesting with serifs for the title, and settled on Batang, a font I’d never used before. For the headings of entries I wanted something a little more artistic and playful looking, and so used Freestyle Script. I also adjusted the font size and color on a few minor things.
It was a little difficult picking the tone for the text of my portfolio. I did not want to go with a very serious style and tone; I wanted to go with an honest and less formal one. I am inviting anyone who sees this site to view some of what I have accomplished in my four years at Mary Washington, and comment if they wish. Picking the content was the easiest part of the project—I wanted a piece of work from each of my major interests. I tried to achieve a sense of balance by including an equal number of text versus image content. I am proud of my work and my portfolio, so please check it out!
