My target audience for this assignment are of high caliber and I will need to be assertive with my designs, code and presentation if I am to fulfill the outcomes and requirements of the unit.
Primary – Course Leader
- Gender: Male;
- Age: 40 – 45;
- Technological expertise: High;
- Profession: Teacher and examiner.
My primary target audience, concerning my online portfolio, will be the adjudicator of my work and so I must aim to fulfill the requirements expected by this person.
I will need to meet strict guidelines set out by the examiner and to take care with the littler details that many people may pass by such, as correct syntax of code for validation; correct use of copyright; following instruction given in assignment sheet.
Secondary – Potential Clients/Employees
- Gender: Both;
- Age: 40 – 45;
- Technological expertise: Medium;
- Profession: Recruiter for businesses.
As with any online portfolio I will be using this as an adaptable space to show case my skills and talents. Obviously the more time I spend on this the greater the quality will be and, hopefully, greater the chances of employ-ability.
As my secondary target audience may not hold a greater understanding of code and design than my examiner I may have the opportunity to explorer other technologies such as CSS3 which do not fully validate as of yet.
Tertiary – Peers
- Gender: Both;
- Age: 20 – 30;
- Technological expertise: Medium – high;
- Profession: Student.
The final target audience I have aimed for in with my online portfolio piece are my peers. If I can impress my peers with my portfolio then it will give me more confidence in my work and future interviews.
I will also have to strive to take attention to details with items others may not be aware of such as validated code and simple design issues. If I were to make a faux pas with the end product I may never live it down.
