I would like to create a portfolio website for applying for jobs in the arts. Jobs such as technical and editing jobs, essentially computer based work. I want samples of my work with lists of what software was used to make the pieces. A fair bit of it will be video based.
I really want to create something that can be used right now, for jobs that I am already ready for. Often when I see job postings they WANT a link to an online portfolio and they want examples of your work. I feel this is the next step from where I am in the present. I don't yet know where I am going as an artist, but I CAN make a benchmark for where I am in the present. I want to embellish it beyond just a portfolio and include shows I have been part of and upcoming events so I can also share it with friends and have people other then potential employers looking at it. If I have a show or create a new piece I want to be able to display it on the site.
In some ways it will act as an online gallery displaying my work. It would be interesting to also always have a page of "what I'm working on now". People often generate events just so they can take pictures, just so they can put them on facebook. In the same way having a page about what I'm doing now would likely have the effect of motivating me to keep creating so I can keep up the website.
I'm planning on creating an installation in the summer. I think having a site like this would keep me on track and give me something to send to people- both to validate my abilities as an artist, but also to keep me on target with the project itself.
I want it to be a site that I feel good about sharing and has quality work on it. I would want to keep it maintained and updated so I need to learn html myself and have places for archived material.

I hope all's well! Perhaps you'll have a chance to continue on the project later....
