Peer Review for the Brochures

Eboni Ellis: The brochure that I just looked at, Eboni made it. Eboni has all the elements that you've ask for. I really like her cover because of the picture she put. The picture she has on the front cover really got my attention because she cut into little pieces and separate them. I personally liked how she put the picture on the bottom of the paper. Brain Perez: The brochure that I just looked at, Brain Perez made it. Brain made me want to go to that restaurant with all that fabulous food he put on that brochure. He has all the elements that you've had ask for. The only problem is that he doesn't have no prices. He doesn't even has the telephone number or address for me to go eat. But other than that I really liked his brochure and I think he worked hard on it.

Portfolios - reflection blog

1. What was the purpose of your portfolio? Who is it targeted for, and who else do you think can use it for?
The purpose of my protfolio was to put all my work together. Also, it was the purpose to show all my work and how I progressed over time(which this might not be true because all my file died) but I wanted to show the progress of my work. I wanted to show every one about my portfolio. Also, I wanted to do this portfolio for college, that way if I decided to take a program on the visual design department I would've show them all my work I have done in my high school years. I could've also used my portfolio for a job interview. For example if in the futer I decided to work on a visual desging work I couldve shown them all my work so that way it would be better to convince them to give me that job.

2. How did you create it?
I used the acrobat program to create my portfolio. I named it and I tried to use fun colors. I put a little information about me, like my e-mail and my blogspot site. I added 2 of my works because that was the only files I found in the teachers computer. I couldn't add more because once again my flash drive died and I couldn't do much about it.

3. How did you streamline the file size?
I stramline the file size by the files that I put in and yes, I know my portfoilio's file size was really small.

4. Would you say that your portfolio is an accurate example of your work so far? Explain your answer.
I would say that my portfolio is not an accurate example of my work beacause I didn't do to much work like others did. I didn't put to much files like others did but like I said my flash drive died. I'm so sorry about it. I would like to say that my portfolio was an accurate example of my work but its not and I'm saying the truth. I'm sure that some of my classmates portfolios are and accruate example of the work.

Is there something you are concerned about that is going on in the world? What would you tell people about this subject? Why do you want to tell them this? (Your response goes in your blog)


          I have many questions towards this. I would ask the people that litter on the streets. How would you feel if you feel if animals start eating what you litter? How would you feel if the air you breath becomes contaminated by poison? I would also ask them to be more careful with the things they do and they should be more cleaner.
