www.carbonmade.com and www.portfoliosfriend.com are two online portfolio sites where you can upload your work
This session of work based learning was very helpful in terms of informing me on what to put in my portfolio and where I can upload my portfolio to a website. Having a portfolio website works just as well as having your work on an agency website, however there are no agency fees or hassle. Before going to this session I would have never had thought to add variation of sequence to my portfolio – adding single and double page spreads to help present my work is new to me as I always understood that my work, when in a portfolio was to always be of the same dimensions.
