Here we are, the final chapter.

But it's a very important and
0:03
it may actually be the toughest
part of this entire course.
0:05
The long term curation of your portfolio.
0:10
Because let's face it,
maintenance is hard, but so worth it.
0:14
As you grow in your discipline and
craft you'll encounter projects that
0:22
you wanna brag about and
others you'll wanna forget forever.
0:28
It's during that growth though that you'll
need to intentionally take time to stop
0:33
and assess whether you'd like to include
something new in your portfolio.
0:38
It's worth sitting down to do this
at least twice a year to collect
0:44
the materials that you'd like
to include in your portfolio.
0:48
Whether it's from your current job or
from a personal project.
0:52
If it is from your current job,
be sure to curate it so
0:57
that you can benefit from discussing
it during your performance reviews.
1:00
In terms of the overall timeframe of
maintaining your portfolio, a brief glance
1:04
at your write ups or the visual quality
at least once a year would be wise.
1:09
Occasionally, you'll notice that you could
stand to trim down some copyrighting.
1:15
Or maybe the projects you're showing
have been updated or even upgraded and
1:20
the overall aesthetic is no longer
accurately represented on your site.
1:25
Carve out time on your
calendar to make adjustments.
1:30
However you approach it,
you wanna make sure that you're
1:36
continuing to accurately
represent what you value and
1:41
the process it took for
you to arrive at your goal.
1:45
During our time together we
dug into different types of
1:49
portfolios while establishing
the best way for
1:53
you to show your work,
personality, and interests.
1:57
I hope for the very best for you.
2:02
And, remember, have fun with this process,
after all it shows in the end product.
2:05
Thanks so much for your time and
good luck in curating, designing,
2:12
and maintaining your collection of work.
