Peer Review: Demarco Sanchez's Portfolio

 http://www.ithstech.com/MVP/pd4portfolios/Demarco%20Sanches%20Portfolio%20Copy.pdf

Demarco's Portfolio is arranged quite well. When you open it up, it has a nice, abstract welcome page. However, this welcome page is something that I saw in a lot of other portfolios during the presentations, using the same design with the colored, see-through rectangles. The welcome page could also do with a name on it, and "Visual Design Portfolio" written on it, rather than simply "Portfolio."

Onto the portfolio itself, it has a color scheme different from the default, which I thought was a nice touch. The portfolio is arranged in a very simple way; Labs, Narrations, and Projects. This makes it easy to get where you want without having to look into it. In each folder, is a sub folder, making things even more organized and easy to find. However, the portfolio feels rather incomplete, in that there aren't many labs in the lab folder, the narration folder is empty, and the project folder only has 2 projects in it, out of the 4 that we did. A narration folder at all seems rather redundant and should have been deleted, as every project and lab has a narration explaining the project/lab under it, something many portfolio makers didn't get to finish.

All of this is under a header, which shows the logo, name of the portfolio, and some simple contact information. The logo, however, is a reused welcome page picture, and it would make the portfolio look more professional if it was a different image. The name of this portfolio is simply "Portfolio" so again, your name would have made the portfolio better. Ultimately, the portfolio was arranged very well and it was definitely one of the easier ones to follow. The main problem is that it feels a little rushed/unfinished, but it's still very good and has a good layout. If I had to rate it out of 10, I would give it a 7.
