OPTIONS FORELECTRONIC PORTFOLIO
PUBLICATION
• Microsoft Powerpoint Cons– Media use between platforms can be
unpredictable.– Packaging for CD’s is improved, but still
unpredictable without lengthy process to expand code on each playback machine.
– Code become very large in size as the project grows.
– Difficult to Template multiple pages (structure is fixed and controlled by Microsoft)
– Not easily extensible

OPTIONS FOR ELECTRONIC PORTFOLIO PUBLICATION
• HTML Pros– Somewhat easy to learn and use– Can integrate many different media
elements– FREE - $$– Can use hypertext (text linked across
multiple documents)– Multiplatform, Mac, PC, UNIX– Perhaps the most extensible choice
(i.e.; same code used for the process portfolio can be used for job hunting)

Common Mistakes
• Computer systems are case sensitive, create a scheme and stick to it.
• Computer systems treat the “space” character differently…DO NOT USE SPACES IN FILENAMES!
• The template instructions will specify the sizes for images that you need to create. Remember, the average screen size is 800x600, keep the size of your pictures at least less than a quarter of the screen, 200x150.
