My ambition to break into Freelance Journalism has been kick-started with the launch of my online portfolio: www.matt-tucker-journalism.co.uk.
After doing an evening class at Thames Valley University, I picked up a few web design skills and I’m pleased with the results. I like Adobe Dreamweaver; it can be a little fiddly with getting the layout right and keeping track of the structure of the site pages, but it’s all worth it and quite fun. Photoshop is great too, allowing you to manipulate the images and get them just the way you want them. They’re both really powerful software applications and good to use, despite Photoshop being a bit buggy when saving images into web friendly formats.
Hopefully I’ll get some positive attention from my site and ideally get me some work!
Any suggestions for improvement would be welcome.
Thanks,
Matt
You're right, there are some nonsense blogs out there!
Y'know Matt, it's been a real pleasure reading a blog with some interesting content. I was only thinking that recently many of the posts on bcuk have become mind numbingly boring so it made a refreshing change to read yours. Good luck with your journalism.
