Staff, Investopedia. “Portfolio.” Investopedia. N.p., 25 Nov. 2003. Web. 02 Feb. 2017.

I selected this source for two main reasons. This was my first source, and I believe it poses to be the base of my research. First reason being is because this source talks about what exactly is a portfolio. Some people don’t know what portfolio is, and some people think it can be only one uniformed thing. However, this link talks on the different types of portfolios, and exactly what a portfolio is. Before starting something you should know what it is, so this was only rhetorical. Secondly, this link gives some insight as to the effect that a portfolio has. A lot of people, including myself at one point, thought a portfolio was something just used in school or something. However, it’s way more helpful and could be a bigger impact in the work field.

“The 7 Elements of A Great Portfolio Website.” Skillcrush. N.p., 24 Oct. 2016. Web. 02 Feb. 2017.

I found this source useful because it included format, and some things that I didn’t know that I should know. What I mean by format id that this source gave out seven steps, in order to help a successful portfolio. This is good, and is gonna be helpful to me to use as a timeline guide when creating my piece. Two things in this source that I didn’t know, that after reading I believe will help me is to integrate social media, and to make a clear mission statement. The first thing someone wants to know when reviewing your stuff is what and why. Therefore, I’ll include those two things.

Awards, The Webby. “Top 5 Free Portfolio Sites.” Top 5 Free Portfolio Sites. Vitamin T, 11 May 1970. Web. 02 Feb. 2017.

Unlike most of my other sources, this source didn’t really help me per say with actually creating my portfolio. Instead, it helps by giving me options. Options as to what websites I could use, or what kind of websites I could use for my portfolio. It also helps with me seeing how I want to format my website. This website gave me five different website options to chose from, if I wanted to. After looking at those listed websites, I probably won’t use any of them, but it still helps because I know although free websites are limited, Is till do in fact have some choice when picking.

“How To Build A Makeup Artist Portfolio.” Makeup Artist Essentials. N.p., n.d. Web. 02 Feb. 2017.

Moving forward, past the general portfolio portion and the website portion, this source is a more direct source about makeup. That is makeup portfolio, what is exactly what I’m doing. This source was helpful because it talks about exactly what i’m doing such as how to build a makeup portfolio, what’s included, and why is it important. All of those categories are pieces that I will reflect on, in my writing section of the portfolio. This will also help me because this source gives me two different options as to how I want to display my portfolio. The more potions, the better.

“Makeup portfolio.” My Portfolio. N.p., n.d. Web. 02 Feb. 2017.

This source is extremely useful, because unlike most of my other sources, this is an actual example. This isn’t a made up example, but this is an actual online portfolio that is real that I found online. This is really useful because it gives me a prime example of how I could use and format my actual product. The good thing about this website, which is also unique is that it’s a hair and makeup portfolio. This shows me how you can incorporate more than one draft into your work. This is good for future reference when I start getting into hair and want to broadcast that work into my sight as well.

“Building a Makeup Artistry Portfolio 101: Finding Models.” QC Makeup Academy. N.p., 12 Dec. 2016. Web. 02 Feb. 2017.

One limitation that I found of this source is that it was not explained in depth a I would have like it to be. I also would like for the source to include more subcategories. However, this source was useful because although it told me some things that I had already did, it allowed me to know that I was doing the right thing. The main thing that stuck out to me in this source was that it said when you’re first starting off with your work, that you should give out free trials and free make overs. I liked this because that is something that I already did when I first started, so I know that those steps were good ones in building my career.

“Testimonials.” MAKEUP BY MEGAN Makeup Artist Sydney Bridal Makeup Sydney Wedding Makeup Sydney South Coast Sutherland Shire Kangaroo Valley Southern Highlands Megan Vaughan Makeup Artist Testimonials Comments. N.p., n.d. Web. 02 Feb. 2017.

This source is useful to me because it is unique. I say that because this source is full of testimonials after they got their makeup done. I found this useful because it tells from actual people, what it is that they did like and what it is that they don’t like. This is helpful to me and my business because I will know some things like what to do and what not to do. Is also useful because in my writing portion I planned to talk about what it is that makeup does, not only for me but for the clients. It’s a great feeling to make people feel amazing in their skin, so why not capture the moment.

“Free Website Builder - Your first steps towards online success.” 123-reg.co.uk. N.p., n.d. Web. 02 Feb. 2017.

This source is usel for when I am actually makeup my website and the domain. Reason being is because it teaches readers how to build a website and domain. It also helps me because if I need more pages for more subcategory, it gives me that option. However the limitation of this source is that when you need more than a certain number of online pages, you will have to upgrade to a better version. The bad thing is that it costs. Not only does it costs, you won’t know if you like it or not until it’s paid for. So, there’s a risk that if I don’t like this option I could be wasting my money on it.

“Step-by-Step Guide for Beginners.” How to Make a Website. N.p., n.d. Web. 02 Feb. 2017.

This website is useful because it gives me another alternative option for making my online portfolio. This good thing about this is that this source has many different templates. The different templates are the ways in which I can broadcast the work on my browser. I want to find the most attractive option for people who like makeup. This way my clientele can grow and I have impressed many people. This source is helpful to just that because as I said, it gives different samples for different things.

“Be a Show Off: Why Creating a Portfolio is Important.” Empire Beauty School. N.p., 06 Nov. 2013. Web. 02 Feb. 2017.

This is the last spruce that I chose, and I picked this one for three reasons. One, this is a cosmetology school that teaches their students how to e successful after school. Two, they are saying when people show off their work in a good way that it attracts people more because they feel comfortable with you. This will help me because now I know there isn’t a such thing as too much showing off in a portfolio.
