ILP Review

For this assignment, we are to go to portfolio.csumb.edu and choose two portfolios to read carefully. By random selection I chose the year 2006, and I looked at all the profiles there. Of those, I think Jennifer and Imelda have the best looking profiles. I choose them.

I like both of these. I think they both work well to deliver their content, and they are both fine products. That said, I like Jennifer's more than Imelda's. Imelda concentrated more on having a nice, neat, compact portfolio, whereas Jennifer used as much room as necessary to describe the courses, its requirements, and her results. Jennifer's is very spread out, and a somewhat more compact design might have been better, but I think Imelda went too far with compacting it.

Still, both are fine portfolios, and any information that you need is easy to find. I specifically chose these two because they initially looked good. I'd rather not look through bad work, and I bet teachers don't like to either. Some of the other portfolios looked too flashy, too disorganized, or too plain. There's nothing wrong with a plain portfolio, but people like me are more likely to choose the ones that look good without being garish.

Employers are going to look for that kind of thing too. I think either of these people would be proud to show employers their portfolios; they are both fine works.
