Researching Portfolios

So, i was looking at people's portfolios online, and i have found two types.

• Most people have their own websites, with galleries and such.
• The rest create an extra page on their blogs, for art and showreels.

I could do either of these, as they would both suit my needs.

However, I've been doubting my abilities to create a website. Due to my shoddy skills in css reflecting badly on my website, I've decided to to drop the idea of a website for now. I need to be concentrating on my showreels of work. These are more important in the long run.

So, for this project i will just be producing a dvd showcasing my work.

Making a Portfolio

I have been instructed to make a portfolio, to showcase my work. This will help my employability, especially if it's on the Internet! So, quite simply i decided to create a website to showcase my awesomeness. As i am an animator, instead of a web designer, i felt this might be a bit hard. However i thought of using the 'website'  i made last year, and simply improve upon it. Using Dreamweaver, i would be unstoppable!
Here is the wireframe i settled on:

Elegant in it's simplicity.

Where i want to be?

Okay, so i'm doing 3d animation.
-I'd like to do 3d modelling, focusing on characters.
-I would rather cartoony/unrealistic charcaters, as i find that fits better with my style.
-Areas i'd like to do these in are tv and film.
-I wouldn't mind if the environment was CGI or real.
-Unrealistic characters are usually made for teenage/children's programmes.
So really i'd like to work in kid's tv!

I found some companies, that make programmes i like:
Clone wars - Lucasfilm Animation
Make way for noddy - SD Entertainment
Rated A for awesome - Nerd corps Entertainment
Galaktic Football - Alphanim
Code Lyoko - Tania Palumbo
Mickey mouse clubhouse - Walt Disney Television
Waybuloo - Gallus Entertainment
Unforunately for me, all these companies were abroad, which i'm not that interested in. So back to researching!
