Design Concept Statement

This journal entry will be slightly different from those you've completed so far. For this entry, you will use the design concepts discussed by Sorapure and Arola (Bb library) to think through your approach to designing your final ePortfolio. Here are some specific points that you might address in this entry:

  • Effective ePortfolios tend to be grounded in a coherent concept, crafted for a set of specific audiences, and composed to accomplish a specific purpose/set of purposes. What audiences do you hope to reach through your ePortfolio, and what do you want those audiences to learn? Given your answers to these questions, what visual, sonic, textual, etc. components should you include in your ePortfolio? 
  • What effect will the Wix templates have on your composing choices and your audience's reception of the ePortfolio? 
  • How can you capitalize on metonymy and metaphor to make your ePortfolio most effective? 
  • Lastly, what questions &/or concerns do you have about designing the ePortfolio, especially after reading Sorapure & Arola's texts?
