Idea for final project
For my final project I would like to design a personal portfolio for myself. I actually already have one at portfolio.aliciapimental.com, but the layout needs to be redone. The layout that's currently on there was created somewhat hastily when I was applying for a job recently, and I did not yet know about image optimization in Photoshop/Fireworks and simple image mapping that can be done in Dreamweaver. So I'd like to emply those techniques in a new layout.
I would also like to expand the content of the portfolio to include a more in-depth photography section and a professional blog where I can write about photography and trends in my field (PR, marketing and the environment). Everything in PR/marketing right now is about social media, and I think having a personal professional blog as part of my portfolio would really make me stand out from the crowd when applying for jobs and networking. It would be a place for me to post and comment on articles about my profession (which I read nearly every day), and post and discuss new photos I take as I develop my photography hobby (which I hope to turn into part of my profession someday!).
As far as other components of the online portfolio, I would update the writing, design and courses section, add an "about me" section with my professional interests and objectives, and develop the photography section with a slideshow and watermarks on my images.
What do you think? I really want to do all of this but I fear I'll never have time on my own; this would be a great opportunity for me to devote a good amount of time to this project and come up with something that looks great and will last me a couple of years.

This sounds like a great idea. I love the idea of incorporating a blog where you can write and comment about the industry. I think a slideshow is great, but it might be good to also include thumbnails for people to quickly scan and click on. The more options, the better. It sounds like you are on track and this is right inline with a professional portfolio website.
