The content page took quite a long time to get how I wanted it because of the images I wanted to use. I tried moving them around with text to find what worked the best.
I decided not to have page numbers to keep it simple I just had project section numbers.
Here is my final content page layout:
I put a brief description of what would be in the portfolio on the content just to give people a clear idea of what to expect before they look at my work.
The website development pages was tricky to design layout wise. I didn't want to have page after page of screen shots, so I decided to do an interactive slide show so you could flick through the pages. However this could only be exported as an SWF file. So for my PDF version I used the same layout but only showed 2 main screen shots, and six smaller screen shots down the sides of the pages.
I realize lots of text is used throughout the portfolio, I just felt some projects needed to be explained to the viewer more then others to give a clear idea of what I did to develop it. This is why for each project title page I had a section of text explaining about the project. This doesn't look as creative as I would of liked, however after trying many different layouts I decided this was the best way to do it.
The main problem with this page was fitting all the text and images and title on one page,
I tried different ways in which they would all fit together in order but settled for the simplicity - here is my final layout design for this page:
I tried various colors for the texts and backgrounds but found that purple, yellow, white and grey was the color scheme that worked the best, and suited my work the most.
