I decided to use Wix to create my first website as I have some experience with the web builder, I plan to learn how to code when I graduate so for the moment a website builder is suitable to display my current work. At this point in time my design name is 're.beccalouise' - re.beccalouise is my name split up in a sort of 'concerning' becca louise style like the 're' in emails.
The home page is my portfolio, it features 12 different projects and the way I have laid it out is close up/illustration and then mockup image - consistency is key.
When you hover over one of the images it says what kind of design work it is - a bit of information before clicking on the project and getting the below page. So when you click on a brief, it takes you to a separate page that says a little bit about the brief, includes more images and the year it was made.
I wanted to keep my about page short, sweet and friendly.

I decided to write the about as though I had already graduated as i'm looking to the future. 'A creative' works better than just saying i'm a graphic designer as it doesn't limit the possibilities.
I decided to add a photography section as this is an area I want to explore a lot more when I graduate, I was very interested in it before coming to university but haven't managed to find the time as much in the three years. I think photography is a good skill to have as a designer, whether it is taking pictures of things you have produced, or having images available to use in your designs, making it easier than sourcing a photographer or dealing with copyright etc.
At the moment I am happy with this website, but as I said earlier I plan to learn code when I graduate - with this in mind I am going to design layout on Adobe XD for a website I could make in the future. This website is simple and to the point with the work I have made so far, but I would like to showcase future work in a more interesting way.
The mark I received is below:
62.00 / 100.00
This is equivalent to a 2:1 and therefore I am happy, but as mentioned know that I can improve with the design I make in the future.
