[Carbonmade</a> : Your online portfolio.](<a href=“http://www.carbonmade.com/]Carbonmade”>http://www.carbonmade.com/) is a really nice one.
[deviantART:</a> where ART meets application!](<a href=“http://www.■■■■■■■■■■■■■■/]deviantART:”>http://www.■■■■■■■■■■■■■■/)</p>
<p>it really depends on the school’s guidelines…you should try asking an admissions person.</p>
<p>Is it okay to have your own .com domain?</p>
<p>Wow, that Carbonmade really is a nice one! I can’t believe it’s free. Thanks!</p>
<p>A lot of the schools my son applied to requested that the portfolio be uploaded to Slideroom.
ex: <a href=“https://pratt.slideroom.com/[/url]”>https://pratt.slideroom.com/</a></p>
<p>you really should ask the schools you plan on applying to…</p>
<p>ya and I had to pay $10.00 bucks every time I sent work. Someone is making money!</p>
<p>I am a Web Development major and I have done a lot of research on the connection between jobs and portfolio websites. In fact after building half a dozen portfolio sites for my friends I created the following site: [College</a> Portfolio Websites | We build Websites for College Students](<a href=“http://collegeportfoliowebsites.com%5DCollege”>http://collegeportfoliowebsites.com). It has some free solutions for you but your best bet is to purchase, or have me purchase for you, a domain and hosting and then use a Wordpress style site with multiple post type pages to maintain it. I offer a pretty inexpensive solution.</p>
<p>You really need to have your own domain for a portfolio website. If you don’t then search engines can’t really see you. Free subdomains are invisible to search engines. Imagine a situation where someone recalls meeting you but they’ve lost your contact info. They type in your name and the first hit they get is a flagged image one of your friends posted on Facebook of you at a kegger. If you have your own domain and post to it regularly your desired content will be the first search result in any browser.</p>
<p>Another site that I would recommend is behance.net. I applied to undergraduate art schools/programs last year, and 5 out of 6 of them required me to use slideroom. The other one asked for a cd with the art on it. Some schools also want you to make those old-fashioned slides. All the information should be on the college/university’s website though.</p>
<p>I used slideroom for all my schools except USC. For them I just used Google Picasa. You can make a direct private link and send it to the school if you don’t want to have your work online for the world to see yet. To each their own though.</p>
