This project aimed to create our work portfolios, which would allow us, as SAE students and future audio engineers, to demonstrate our work, talent, and projects. This project required us to include at least this trimester of production work. To achieve this project, I have decided to use the WordPress service, as it is a service I have used in the past and also owns a personally compatible directory server. This will allow me in the future to host my own portfolio at no cost.
I believe that what went well throughout this final project was that I was able to quickly understand the assignment brief and develop a coherent and consistent website. Throughout the production process of my website, I continually referred to my live link to ensure that all features were working. Furthermore, I continually referred to the brief to ensure that all deliverables and outputs were being met.
Overall, what I think could have been better and could be worked on for future trimesters would be for me to add a personalised section to my portfolio to cover my external audio engineering gigs and projects that I have completed outside SAE. On this page, I will aim to include a short description of each event, with an accompanying photo and a description of my role.
In terms of transferable skills, I think that, overall, the skills that were best reflected in this project are creativity and time management. Time management can be reflected upon through how I was able to successfully plan, create, and produce my working portfolio within a short time frame. This is a skill that is useful in a real-life context, and I hope to continue to develop it over time. In terms of creativity, how it was reflected in project three was during the layout creation project of the portfolio. This is a skill that is continually reflected in the professional and business world of audio engineering within professional environments. Finally, I find that this was a very successful project and that I was able to meet all the deliverables and learning outcomes.
