Visual
The visual components of my portfolio consist of the pictures in the "Twilight Mania" presentation, the pictures in the Final Project presentation, and my website. I firmly believe that pictures can be used for various effects in a presentation. It is said that "A picture is worth a thousand words". It is very possible to convey the complex ideas with an appropriate picture to represent the idea. Pictures can be used to support main points, provide comedic or aesthetic pleasure, or increase the depth of a presentation. I used scholarly articles and Google to find the pictures, ensuring that I properly cited every source I used.

"Twilight Mania" Visual Presentation
"Twilight Mania" presentation was the presentation part of our Group Reportage assignment. I used Prezi to prepare this presentation. This presentation was a great learning experience for me as I was using Prezi for the first time. The learn tab on the Prezi website provided a good jump start to explore the new tool. From there it was a whirlwind journey of creating an effective presentation rich with approriate pictures and accompnying text in the most effective layout to make the most effective presentation. You can read details about my journey here.

Final Project Visual Presentation & Website
In my final project presentation, I did not use too many pictures but I used a nice and appropriate theme provided by Prezi. I based my presentation as a beginners guide for courtship. For that I created a nice book cover titled "Courtship for Dummies" based on the popular "For Dummies" series. I am a firm believer in making a presentation entertaining and intriguing at the same time. Now if I look back, I could have used more pictures in my final project presentation to make it more entertaining. I will definately keep this in mind for my future assignments for any course.
Furthermore, the pictures on this website provides a better explanation of what each of the items in my English portfolio entails. It creates an environment of aesthetic pleasure, and most importantly a reader can get an indepth understanding of my portfolio.
