Portfolio Due Yesterday

Well, not literally - but the sooner the better. Ever had to provide a portfolio and letter of intent? Christ, it's not easy. I'm not even sure what the college looks for except the obvious principles of design, and I'm not even sure if that's true. The college has given me little to go by and most definitely has stumped me with certain requirements such as penciled art (where I thought it was all digital). Shows you how much I know, but I'll continue work both on this Website and portfolio, but the portfolio will come first as there are dates I have to meet in college.

Hosting/ Domain

The hard part is taken care of, after buying hosting late Feburary my payment finally went through and I can now begin uploading my website. Stupid me didn't use the time as wisely as I should of to actually code my site, but in all honesty, I've been working a lot. You can check out my splash/ construction/ error page at the moment though: http://www.youngartist.ca/ my site will have the same format of this blog as it was originally meant to be my site until I got hosting up (so you're looking at a small preview of the banner).

The hosting I bought ended up working out to just under $3 a month for one year and I get a domain, unlimited transfer/ space, email accounts, the whole bit. It was a special like 10 minute offer (50% off). Visit JustHost.com to get your own, it offers quite a lot of features with a decent amount of customer service.

Things you should expect to see (with all hopeful honesty and so forth) is the transfer of this blog onto my main site at a later date, a gallery, links, about me section, contact, etc. you will be able to order services through me so don't be shy.
