This is my finish version of portfolio website.
I have designed my resume and content page with Adobe Illustrator.
Portfolio Website Development (IV)
This is my new portfolio website. I have not created the portfolio and resume page yet because I planned to illustrate the page and add in some of the new/ selected features.
Feedback from my course lecturer, Geoffrey:
The main subject for the visitors to look is your portfolio, not stories about you.
Portfolio Website Development (III)
Today, I received news announced by school telling us that we are not recommended to use Wix site to build our portfolio. So, I have to transfer to WordPress website to create a new one.
In order to build my portfolio in a productive way, I installed some plugin which might be used and help me in building my portfolio. I also explored some flip-book plugin that can show my work.
I installed Elementor to build a nice layout in my blog.
Portfolio Resume
The jpg above is my up to date resume. I started with putting my C template design into this resume. I added my original design logo as the header and defined my title below of my logo. I updated my experience profile because I have tried a few new positions throughout the year 2019. These include the internship of working in an Agency called 1103 Studios on graphic design and class relief teacher in a high school during my holiday. In 1103 Studios, I not only learn about designing a graphic poster. I learnt a lot such as promotions, content creation etc.
Other than that, I had also update my creative tools skills into my resume. I deleted all the adobe creative tool names as there are too much of them. Instead, I name them all in one category, Adobe Creative Tools.
This is my previous portfolio resume below:
Portfolio Website Development (II)
I started designing the basic layout for my new professional portfolio website.
For this design layout above, the Home page will be landed as ‘about me’. Click onto the Portfolio menu button, all my selected work will be posted inside, either sorted out with categories or just all the artworks. For the Resume & Contact page, I would want it to be intractable with the UI flash cards. The flashcards will include the content info of my skills, responsibilities, also my experiences, not experiments. In the end, I will place a contact form for visitors who would like to contact me for questions and inquiries.

Different style of Portfolio website can show up an individual’s strength and weakness of his/ her skills and if he/ she is suitable for a job position. Different content of Portfolio website also represent a position that the author aim to or interested.

The website is kind of simple, clean and legible for visitors to scroll through. All kinds of digital project I have uploaded on it and a simple info of experiences and educations about me.
Types of writers career in Game Industry
Some people did not know the different type of writer career in the game industry, just like me. I researched online and asked professionals what’s the different positions and the responsibilities of them are. There are all kinds of writer such as pitch writer, narrative designer, and game journalist in the industry.
A screenwriter writes action scripts or dialogues of the characters in scenes. These writing plays a vital role in the game industry, as they will be used for the talents to speak their dialogue, for the director to conduct the shooting, and for game designers to reference during the post-production. Video game writers usually work with a team of professionals which includes the game designers, the level designers, and even the voice actors and the directors.
A pitch writer specializes in writing pitches for video games to publishers. They create collaborative pitch documents such as design mock-ups or art concepts. To pitch documents for the game, they will do from executive a summary, audience analysis, story, competition analysis, market analysis, gameplay, financial budget, and schedule.
A narrative designer participates in the crafting of a game’s story. He will need to create descriptions and backstories of characters, locations, and objects. He defines the flow of events in a mission with the level designers. Narrative designer supports the Game Design team in defining systems and structures to reinforce the game experience throughout the entire game and contributing to building the player’s emotional journey.
A game journalist will play the games to preview or review. They will write articles about their experience of playing the game and formulate article ideas with peers. A game journalist will also have to keep up the industry news to write the industry news. They will meet demanding deadlines, and perform a score of other mundane administrative tasks besides. A game journalist will deal with the PR people. They will also attend conferences and expo’s, visit with game developers. Sometime they might even travel around the world to do so. Generally, this career moves about to experience the industry from the road.
