For students who have done an online portfolio, or other non-'identity' themed web work

Please add two paragraphs either on your class blog or on your actual site about how your work ties into your notion of yourself, as a person, as a citizen, a student, etc.

How did you fin the theme of identity guiding you as you built your site?

This will help me to grade your assignments as per the central topic of the course - writing for the web with an emphasis upon the notion of identity and how it can be influenced by experience and culture.

Find ways to relate your output as a designer to your view of the world and how the world has shaped your idea of 'me'

For example, if your design work is influenced by a concern for the environment, explain how.

If your work reflects your thoughts on your a) cultural heritage, b) beliefs, c) influences etc.

What part of you do you feel your work best communicates?
