Week 9 Oral Portfolio Presentation

This video is a brief overview of the personal goals and outcomes I had for my final digital print portfolio and demo reel.

Week 1 Create A Blogspot

So I am finishing up here at Westwood College Online and week 1 of my GD495: Animation Portfolio Review class was to create a Blog for the purpose of hosting a space for a portfolio. I am excited to begin blogging and posting my Animation/Graphic Design work from school on blogger as this will be one more piece to tie me into the networking world of the commercial art and freelance industry. I have a few other sites up to visit already containing my work that you may be interested in checking out if you are more comfortable with another format versus this one.
