Question of the Week (10-4-2004)
Search for at least three home pages (or other personal presentations) and online portfolios (or other professional presentations). Provide links in your blog entry. What are some of the key differences you notice between personal and professional presentations? How much personal information can you discern about a person from their Web presentations? Do you notice any differences in how people choose to present themselves based on personal characteristics?

3 websites

1. http://www.creativehotlist.com/index.asp?linkTarget=searchPort.asp&country=intl
2. http://www.thehip.com/
3. http://www.talentx.com/creative/arts/new_view/portfolio_list.html?category_id=50

Obviously personal presentations are far more resourcesful in following the theme of personal portfolios. In site # 1, I noticed each illustrator had his own recollection of illustrated ideas and he collaborated them into a vision he thought would be noticeable. Site # 2 is a professional portfolio from the Canadian rock band, "The Tragically Hip." This portfolio describes what songs they play at every concert, where they are playing next, a discography, a link to merchendise, and especially a link to their music and photo gallery. Even though it is a website, I believe this is as close to a portfolio a band website can get to be. Site # 3 presents an interesting personal portfolio of animation. This looks like it was either time consuming or it didnt take long. One or the other it is an incredible personal portfolio that should have television markets looking at it and analyzing for a long time.
