Back early in the semester you hopefully created your Makeup Morgue/Portfolio Assignment 1 : Create a Place to Collect Your Makeup Morgue/Portfolio  If you followed  the instructions from the beginning, you dutifully have already

  • Put all your completed assignments into your Portfolio, whether you made a website, a Portfolium folio, a Google Doc, or a physical binder, or whatever place you put copies of all your renderings, research images and photos of your makeup projects after you did them.
  • Organized your assignments into project groupings in your Portfolio.
  • Labeled your assignments so they make sense to someone looking at the portfolio.

If you have been doing this all along, you simply need to show me your portfolio and you are done!

If you have not, you need to do all that importing, or printing, dividing into categories, and labeling now.  When you are finished, either show your binder portfolio in person to the instructor, and post some photos of it here, or if you have an online version put the URL to the online location here.

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT HEIC FILES DO NOT SHOW UP IN CANVAS.

Assignment Overview

To set you up for success you will be creating a space to collect and organize a morgue/portfolio of your research/renderings and makeup photos from this class.  This can take many forms, and you may choose any form you like:

What is a Portfolio?


Most artistic and craft based occupations require you build a portfolio of your work.  You need this so employers and clients will be able to see the quality of your design and/or construction work before they hire you.  A portfolio is there to show the employer/client your aesthetic abilities, your range of styles, and demonstrate your ability to present and organize your work product.  In broad general terms this applies for all artistic professions, regardless of type.

What Is a Morgue?


In this class you will combine both these types of thing into a single Makeup Morgue/Portfolio of your projects.

Types of Portfolios


There are multiple formats portfolios can take. Many folks choose to do more than one type of these so they can show their work to the largest audience.  However, to begin with, it is best to choose one, and work up from there.  Read through these descriptions of the main types, and then consider which portfolio type you wish to work on.  Most probably you will want to pick a format you feel most comfortable working on. 

Traditional portfolios …

Are ones you can carry around with you.  (Port=to move about, Folio=pages, or a book of pages.  Portfolio=a book of pages you can carry about).  Most commonly used for bringing to an interview.  This is very easy, but expensive because of color printing costs.  You get a binder and some sheet protectors and print out pictures, stick in your research and renderings, and it’s done. 

Slideshow Portfolios …

Are very old school as well, (and used to be the very expensive old way to mail out duplicate copies of the above format, on actual film slides) but they have been significantly modernized by PowerPoint, and Google Slides and are now one of the cheapest and easiest formats to create and share.  They also can form a basis for making PDF Portfolios and even video portfolios. PowerPoint is included in the Microsoft Office software that you as a DVC student  can download freely to your own computer, and Google Slides is also free by letting Google spy on you (which you already are having them do unless you do everything with a good VPN to hide in) . 

Web Site Portfolios…

A portfolio webpage can be used to both collect the work you are doing in this course but also to use at a tool throughout your program to document the work you’re completing in and out of the classroom.   If you have an existing online portfolio (like Linked In., Wix, WordPress.,  Google Sites., or Portfolium. ) you do not need to reinvent the wheel, you can just add a makeup section in your existing site.   However, if you don’t, or are frustrated with the one you have, conveniently, there is a built in software Portfolium for directly importing all the work you do in Canvas, in all your classes, from Canvas into a portfolio that you can use for free during and after you leave college. You might already have made a Portfolium Folio, for a previous class that you can reuse for this, in which case just send the link. If you already have another type of portfolio like LinkedIn, Google Sites etc, and prefer to insert  your class projects into it, you can and should send that link instead.  

PDF Portfolios 

Are sometimes simply scans of a Traditional Portfolio like the first one above, or may include more extensive text for explanation, as these are usually sent to a remote interview where it will be judged before one is chosen for an interview.  These can usually be made in PowerPoint as a PPt slideshow (or Google Slides. in Google) first, or instead made in Word like a paper before saving as a PDF.  These also can be inserted into online book/magazine sharing sites like Issuu. to be viewed by the public without having to build a a full web portfolio.

What to Do to Get Points


Choose which type you’d like to do, (you are NOT limited by the options I’ve outlined) and show me that you’ve done something to start it by any of the following:

Send me a working URL of a web site, or a photo of your binder, a screen shot of a tablet based portfolio,  or the beginning of a slideshow or pdf with an assignment from this class that you have put in it.  That is all.  This is step one: choosing where to save your project photos to.  Pick a format you feel comfortable with that you like the looks of.  Your goal is to make a space that is easy for you to collect and show your work in.

If You Want to Use Your LinkedIn Profile, but don’t know how to add Portfolio Stuff


 Go to How To Add a Portfolio To LinkedInLinks to an external site.

If you want to use Portfolium, and don’t know how to sign up for it…


Just go to your Canvas account profile (click on the big dot with your face  and “Account” written under it at the upper left of your computer screen: Sample of Canvas Account Face Dot 

In the lower left of your profile page is a list of stuff including the word “Folio“.

Click on the word “Folio “…

and a pop up will appear to walk you through site creation on the Portfolium Network.

Guidelines


Create your Portfolium Folio Profile:

  1. Add a Profile Image (You can just use the one you did for Canvas unless you hate it)
  2. Add a Cover Image (Anything horizontal)
  3. Add an Introduction (1-2 sentence like “I’m NAME and I hope to work in JOB.  I am studying MAJOR at DVC and will be graduating in YEAR.)

Upload your Profile Link:

  1. Copy your Profile URL and submit to this assignment. It will be like https://portfolium.com/USERNAME You also should make your Folio public so I can see it.  If you want to keep it private, just send an individual Invite URL instead.  (how to do this is in a video below).

* Special hint, do not pick a username that sounds unprofessional as it becomes permanently and publicly part of your portfolio URL and this will be bad for you in job searches!

Mine is https://portfolium.com/TheCostumer if you want to see one as a sample.

Help Guides


I just made the actual video you need: https://screenpal.com/watch/cYjUYGmN5t

You can then either send me an “Invite” link just for me (while otherwise keeping your site invisible) or you can make your site public and just send the regular URL.  This is how you can do both these things: https://screenpal.com/player/appearance/cYQnVnHlev
