This
week, I assembled a mind map to organize the information my portfolio will
hold. To do this, I used coggle.it, a free online mind map generator. My mind
map includes a list of the projects I have done at Quinnipiac, as well as
outside projects, categorized by media. I did this so I can reflect back at all
of my work and effective choose the right ones to showcase in my portfolio. I
have also included a list of my technical skills so employers will have a
better sense of what programs and languages I am proficient in. Though my courses
will not be listed in my portfolio, I included them in my mind map as part of
the brainstorming process. My portfolio will include an About section which
will contain my identity (business cards, letterhead, etc), my resume, a short
bio, and contact information. I will also link to this blog.
A
mind map is just another way to visually brainstorm, similar to sketching,
storyboarding and drawing thumbnails. I am a visual learner, which means I
understand information better when I can see it. Organizing the information in
a colorful web, makes it easier for me to see and comprehend the portfolio
process as a whole.
