Planning my E-Portfolio

After thinking about my options, I have decided that my e-portfolio is going to be a "Hire Me Portfolio." In other words, the target audience is going to be prospective employers. The website will be created in such a way that it highlights my past experience, skills, and values that I could add to their companies. 

The first element of my website that I have to make a decision about is color. I played around with some color palettes, and have found one that I have decided to use. 

Not only is blue one of my favorite colors, but it also gives a person a sense of calm when looking at it. In addition, it represents wisdom and loyalty which are both important to employers. I think this color palette provides a nice calming balance of colors, and it is not too flashy or bright. It will make my website look well thought out and professional. 

About Me

My name is Emily Knepp and I am an International Business and Marketing major at Penn State Erie. I am a senior and plan on graduating in the Fall of 2014. Originally I am from Illinois, and just transferred to Behrend last year. So far I have really enjoyed my time here and have learned a lot. I have especially enjoyed my marketing classes where I have learned skills such as conducting market research, market analyses, and portfolio analyses. This summer I plan on traveling to Seville, Spain to study abroad for 8 weeks. When I am not working or doing schoolwork, I enjoy playing the piano and guitar, hiking, and snowboarding.  I am excited about taking this website design class, because at the moment I know very little about creating websites. The skills I hope to learn in this class will prove to be valuable tools to me in the future.
