Websites and Digital Portfolios needed for online resource guide.
I have recently started the process of assembling a series of tutorials and an online resource guide at http://adamjdahl.com/learn to cover a range of topics intended to be aimed at (mainly) young theater professionals. Currently I’m putting out information on creating digital portfolios and professional websites, because as we go forward in time it is becoming more important to get work online and how to do so is often left unaddressed by many educational programs.
Since there is no “standard” and there are many valid approaches I’m compiling a list of websites and portfolios that are currently available online. These site are being used as examples of what can be done, as well allowing people to see what may or may not work for conveying the pertinent information.
This is where I need your help
I’m looking for more sites to add to this list in all technical disciplines - just to be clear I’m looking for personal/professional sites and portfolios not corporate pages.
If you have a digital portfolio or website, or know of someone who does and would be willing to have it added to the project please let me know.
Sites can be submitted via the learning section root page: http://adamjdahl.com/learn
or sent to me directly at: adam@adamjdahl.com
Some of the sites listed have reported small increases in traffic, but as the guides grow I hope/expect the forwarding traffic to expand as well.
If you have any questions, comments, concerns, ideas or points you would like to see specifically addressed please let me know.
Thank you for your help,
