Micro-ePortfolio

VISUAL DESIGN BASICS:

3 by 5

EVERY WIX PAGE should incorporate the 3X3X3X3X3 Concept

      • ​

        • 3 Images

        • 3 Hyperlinks (within the essay/narrative--not just Works Cited links)

        • 3 Pull-Out-Quotes

        • 3 Moments with Orienting Information (Information that clarifies context like who, what, where, when, and why) These include a clear title [name the Genre in the title], last date updated, brief overview or abstract, and HYPERLINKS to the NEXT SECTION.)

        • 3 Paragraph Design Choices that Enhance Readability (double space between paragraphs, readable font choice (not all caps, not script or comic styles), background that make it easy to read (avoid moving background behind the text or background colors that bleed into the color of the font)​, and BULLETED LISTS.

    • INTERNAL REDUNDANCY:

      • ​The same info can appear more than once on your website. This strategy is called internal redundancy and is common in business and professional writing, particularly with charts: both a chart + commentary on what the chart has to say are included on a document. 

        • For example on YOUR W231 Micro-ePortfolio HOME PAGE, a solid overview of the Recommendation Report on your HOME page can be copied/pasted at the top of your Analysis TAB. The overview is ORIENTING/ CONTEXTUALIZING information that qualifies toward your three items of orienting information--data that helps your reader know what is on the page BEFORE they start reading the documentary review.
