Overview
Each week you will add to your online Writing Portfolio. It is a place to collect your readings responses and write your rough drafts before they are put into a formal post, comment, or paper.
Your Writing Portfolio is also a place for collecting observations, ideas, freewriting, images, links, videos, and other media to help you develop your ideas and critically reflect on your influences, history, culture, likes, and dislikes. This practice of being curious about your own design aesthetic is a way to gain experience engaging with critical design theory.
Your journal may be private or public throughout the semester but it should be submitted at the midterm and end of the semester for review.
Get Started!
We will be using Google Docs for our Writing Portfolios because most students already use Google or Gmail. If you don’t have an Account, you can create one here. However, if you have another format you’d like to use please do!
- Create a new google doc. Or use this starter doc with headings, table of contents, and footnotes to copy or work from: Template Writing Portfolio
- You may format your Writing Portfolio in whatever way works best for you, but a good informational structure is helpful.
- Add headings and table of contents to structure your Writing Portfolio.
- Use spelling & grammar check and word count.
Submit your Writing Portfolio
Twice during the semester, you will share your Writing Portfolio with your professor. If there is anything in the journal you don’t wish to share, you may duplicate the journal, remove the parts you want to keep private and submit it for review.
Due Dates
- Midterm
- Final
Submission Process
- Get your Writing Portfolio ready to share by creating a sharable link.
- Create a post with the title: Writing Portfolio (YourInitials)

- To keep your post private and so only the professor can see your Writing Portfolio, choose Visibility > Private when you post.
Writing Portfolio (N.S.)
My experience keeping this Writing Portfolio will let me look back at where my mind was at a certain place in time. This will tell me where I will continue grow from instead of closing myself away from so much. Sharing my mind will be me giving to the world and knowing your not alone.

I’m interested to see how far away the tech issues I am having now will seem when I figure it all out and am able to better engage with the content. It’s mostly user error. But I WILL figure this out.
By the end of the term my head will have been deep in research papers. Awesome. I am excited to see where we all go this term.

Writing Portfolio E.M
I’m actually enjoying it at Citytech, especially to Communication design theory, and I’m pretty doin well in this college. However there is one important class that tI shouldn’t register for fall or spring semester, is character design. Because characters design is part for animator or comic book arts, that I must to prepare to my future job. But I least I been in 2D animation and storyboard class. But I can practice to do character design by watching tutorial on YouTube. But I have fun in this college and I’m proud myself. Also I’ve continued to my goal to become animator, or comic books art.
