Portfolio Question

[curman]

My teacher said I should open up a online-portfolio for my Traditional Art/Photoshop stuff, but this is my first time doing that.

What should I include on the portfolio?

or anyone have one I could kinda copy-ish.

Do not copy someones online portfolio. Very sinful. If I were you I would just make a website with different sections of your different skills. If you are unable to write html/etc. try finding a WYSIWYG program. (What you see is what you get) Like frontpage, dreamweaver, etc.

Sorry, what I mean was not copy the portfolio in HTML terms. I meant like their table of contents.

I think a good portfolio site has a work, resume and contact section.

simple is good. Show your work, have it load quickly, add contact info. 10 pages of flash media with 40 megs of load time is just gonna piss people off.

I was going to do a basic HTML layout with "Home" "About" "Portfolio" "Resume" "Contact" as my table of contents, seems simple enough.

YEAH RIP MY PAGE BITCHES~

Keep it simple as Posty said, most do not like 1000 megs of load.

An example for that is Bad Mofo's site. Awesome artist, great looking site, but the navigation is slightly confusing at times and everything takes ages to load. Oh well, he got a programmer job at a games company somewhere, so it isn't that important for him anyway.

Well, every site that has a help page are bad examples.
