Blog 7: How I’ll Present my Portfolio

I’ve been exploring ways I could showcase my work and services from around late last year!

In all the time I’ve been developing my CV, it seems I’ve been confronted by the idea of showcasing my work.

It’s come to my attention that the more I fail to see enough value in the work I create by avoiding the opportunity to showcase them properly, the less likely I would gain regular work.

It was at this confronting realisation that I decided to really make concise decision making around my purpose as a media maker, the skills I’m offering and the way I present myself.

When thinking about how I could showcase my work, I couldn’t help but want to draw upon the classic, simple sophistication of illustrator Megan Hess’s website. Why? Well it has a delightful sense of self-branding which is what I was going for.

Over time, the one all-encompassing ‘compliment’ that remains consistent is usually about my ‘energy’. Given this fact, I thought it might be a good idea to capatilise on my enthusiastic, ‘Missy’ persona when showcasing my work. So it’s not ‘just’ about the work I do, but ultimately about the person they will be working with. The service, the love that goes into work, building good business relationships, etc.

So back to Megan Hess. I have this idea of animating graphics that I’d love to use and look into creating a showreel of some of the videos I’ve worked on, really (hopefully) showcasing my love of storytelling through effective production and editing.

Here’s Megan’s Site home page

Also, as someone who calls herself a Content Creator, I thought I’d look to another Content Creator’s website. I want to advertise where I’ve worked, feature recommendations and have even had a photoshoot to assist with the vibe of my brand.

Here’s where I’m at for now…it’s just a landing page but I’ll be mapping out the site soon…
