The reason behind creating a portfolio website is to show the beauty behind my designs, and the skills I have gained by being in school. This website will be filled with my artwork, and promote who I am, and where I want my future to take me as a designer. I hope to draw the attention of design firms, clients, and employers who would be interested in my creations. From this site I want to be able to use this as a way of connecting with people, and an easy way to show what I have to offer. Through this website, people will understand my ambition, and passion for design. I want them to see the story I tell through my creativity.

Concept Statement:
While creating my portfolio website, I want potential clients to recognize who I am as a designer without question. The first thing they will recognize is my best work, which will have hiearchy over everything else on the main page. With my website, I want all of my information to be easy to reach from the home page. I will display 7 examples of my designs which will all be available at a first glance. Each of my portfolio pieces will be available first hand, which they can enlarge to get a better understanding of what each peice represents. My logo and my name will be in the upper left hand corner where I will also have my tagline, "Be Ambitious." Not only will my future clients recognize the creativity from my work, I also want the entire webpage to have a design element that will give my audience an entire atmosphere of creativity, yet still maintaining simplicity.
I want my audience to ease through my webpage, without any difficulty. I want them to feel comfortable, and feel entertained at the same time. Simplicity is important when creating my webpage because I do not want the design of the webpage to draw away from what is important: my portfolio. My navigation will be simple, and to the point with only a few other pages which will include my resume, and contact information.
