Learning aim A: Design a digital portfolio
Final Design

Your final design should include details of an alternative solution. This does not have to be a fully completed design but should outline how the design could be done differently. It could cover text and image description, navigation details and the asset list. You could outline alternative ideas on the preferred solution’s storyboard, but you should clearly identify that the idea is an alternative and explain why you have rejected the idea.

Include a written justification of your design, saying how it will meet its purpose, how each asset will enhance the user experience and how it has been designed to meet the needs of the audience.

Finally you need to show that you have considered the presentation of the content in terms of the following:

  • file folders
  • compression
  • accessibility
