This is an introduction to the E-portfolio project for my Digital Animations class.

1. Project Goals Understand the goals and uses of portfolios Plan and create a flowchart for a portfolio Create 3 new documents in Photoshop: a neon effect; a document combining shape, text, and images; and a creative project of your choice Organize content for a PDF portfolio

2. Portfolio Definition Traditionally, a large book or leather case containing design samples. E-portfolios saved as PDF files to share, print, and design interactive work in a variety of ways: e-mail, print, and online
