ePortfolio VISUAL DESIGN BASICS: 3 by 5

EVERY WIX PAGE should incorporate the 3X3X3X3X3 Concept

• • • 3 Images

    • 3 Hyperlinks (within the essay/narrative--AND-- Works Cited links)

    • 3 Pull-Out-Quotes

    • 3 Moments with Orienting Information (Information that clarifies context like who, what, where, when, and why) These include a clear title [name the Genre in the title], last date updated, brief overview or abstract, the author's name [you], AND a Works Cited for the sources you use.

    • 3 Paragraph Design Choices that Enhance Readability

      • You'll double space between paragraphs, select readable fonts (not all caps, not script or comic styles), choose background that make it easy to read (avoid moving background behind the text or background colors that bleed into the color of the font)

  •  

  • INTERNAL REDUNDANCY: Information at the paragraph level will often open by repeating what is in a bold heading, like reiterating the benefits of internal redundancy. The same info can appear more than once on your website. This strategy is called internal redundancy and is common in business and professional writing, particularly with charts: both a chart + commentary on what the chart has to say are included on a document. 

  •  

  • For example on YOUR W131 WIX, you'll include a well-developed overview of the DOCUMENTARY FILM REVIEW on your HOME page. This overview can be copied/pasted at the top of your WRITING PROJECT 1 page too. The overview is ORIENTING/ CONTEXTUALIZING information that qualifies toward your three items of orienting information.

  •  

  • When we talk about orienting information, we mean data that helps your reader know what is on the page BEFORE they start reading and that helps them navigate from one part of the ePortfolio to another.
