1
00:00:00,551 --> 00:00:03,971
But Debbie Portfolio is our topic for today.

2
00:00:03,971 --> 00:00:11,381
So you basically you can use it every portfolio to help you create a nice portfolio Web site and

3
00:00:11,381 --> 00:00:18,131
you can even change basically the you are out to the Web site and make it pretty customized.

4
00:00:18,131 --> 00:00:25,961
So it really can be sort of your own Adobe hosted Web site that you can use to display your work.

5
00:00:25,961 --> 00:00:32,621
So its strength is in the fact that it can coordinate with Lightroom albums.

6
00:00:32,621 --> 00:00:37,021
It can also connect your Behance profile if you have that.

7
00:00:37,021 --> 00:00:42,071
And if you don't, that's a cool thing to then, you know, develop and then start to integrate that, too.

8
00:00:42,071 --> 00:00:46,001
But it can also just provide simple sort of text,

9
00:00:46,001 --> 00:00:52,631
a Web site where you can toss up some great images and just kind of brand yourself and start putting your work there.

10
00:00:52,631 --> 00:00:58,691
It takes text and images and files and things like that, like similar other Wasey wigs.

11
00:00:58,691 --> 00:01:03,311
But does it in a really kind of neat, streamlined, stylized way.

12
00:01:03,311 --> 00:01:10,201
So we're going to take you today from like the very beginning of how do you even get started with creating a portfolio,

13
00:01:10,201 --> 00:01:14,261
like from logging in from the very beginning and so on.

14
00:01:14,261 --> 00:01:21,641
But before we do that, we're gonna introduce ourselves and then Alex and Noel, who are helping me today.

15
00:01:21,641 --> 00:01:30,161
They also each have portfolios. So we're gonna take some time at the beginning to let them show you their portfolios.

16
00:01:30,161 --> 00:01:36,011
So it probably will give you some ideas and just give you some examples of how portfolio is being used.

17
00:01:36,011 --> 00:01:43,871
And then they'll toss it back to me. And then I will do the little bit of more tedious and slightly more boring part of showing you.

18
00:01:43,871 --> 00:01:47,081
How do you start it initially? How do you even get there?

19
00:01:47,081 --> 00:01:54,101
And then what are some of the sort of additional features you can use of portfolio to use those integrations?

20
00:01:54,101 --> 00:01:59,381
More complicated features of portfolios as well. So first, I'll introduce myself.

21
00:01:59,381 --> 00:02:00,491
I'm Chelsea Hooper.

22
00:02:00,491 --> 00:02:08,501
I'm an instructional technology specialist in the eye and our see the innovation and research comments, which is on the first floor of the library.

23
00:02:08,501 --> 00:02:14,771
We're renovating from we used to be the MDR, all the media and Digital Resource Lab.

24
00:02:14,771 --> 00:02:24,521
And it has historically been a place that supports Adobe Creative Cloud as well as other software programs, data programs, wide format printing.

25
00:02:24,521 --> 00:02:33,011
But we're developing into makerspace 3D printing studio, brand new audio studio, all kinds of exciting things.

26
00:02:33,011 --> 00:02:38,751
And so that's me. And so next, I'll have Alex introduce herself.

27
00:02:38,751 --> 00:02:45,911
Yes. Hi, I'm Alex. I am a student here at Auburn and I work at the I.R.S.

28
00:02:45,911 --> 00:02:52,991
I'm majoring in graphic design, minoring and marketing. And I think I started doing workshops this summer with Chelsea.

29
00:02:52,991 --> 00:02:58,751
So it's been a good time getting to assist and even lead occasionally.

30
00:02:58,751 --> 00:03:03,281
Yeah. Do you want me to go ahead and show my portfolio? Yeah.

31
00:03:03,281 --> 00:03:06,251
If you want to take a second, let me go ahead and stop sharing.

32
00:03:06,251 --> 00:03:15,671
And then while you're pulling up your portfolio and sharing your screen, I'll have Noel introduce himself.

33
00:03:15,671 --> 00:03:20,351
Hello, everyone. My name is Nick. Well, I'm in you're in graphic design.

34
00:03:20,351 --> 00:03:27,261
I also work to be on our scene. Have helped tells you this past summer.

35
00:03:27,261 --> 00:03:33,821
Awesome. Thank you so much. Cool. So we'll take a minute to check out Alex's portfolios.

36
00:03:33,821 --> 00:03:37,781
Alex, if you want to kind of just take ESTs, you know, kind of through your portfolio and tell it,

37
00:03:37,781 --> 00:03:44,451
show us some of the sections you developed, you know, maybe maybe just why you thought of putting these things here.

38
00:03:44,451 --> 00:03:50,381
Kind of just talk us through it a bit. Yeah, so being a graphic design major, we have a lot.

39
00:03:50,381 --> 00:03:55,121
Our projects are our classes are very production and product based.

40
00:03:55,121 --> 00:04:04,421
So I chose to do a gallery layout. It just makes little easier for me to display the things I have worked on in class.

41
00:04:04,421 --> 00:04:10,931
But I usually start with like a big picture, just kind of to try and entice people visually about what I'm doing.

42
00:04:10,931 --> 00:04:15,911
And I include a lot of my research and additional imagery.

43
00:04:15,911 --> 00:04:26,231
And in addition to having this gallery where you can scroll through what my works are at the top, I have different pages within my portfolio site.

44
00:04:26,231 --> 00:04:33,101
So my actual portfolio of works, my bio, which needs to be edited, it's just a little short right now.

45
00:04:33,101 --> 00:04:40,541
But in that I also integrate different social media platforms that I use and I also have a contact page.

46
00:04:40,541 --> 00:04:50,111
So if anybody like an employer wants to see this or a potential employer, they can reach out somebody who maybe wants to collaborate on something.

47
00:04:50,111 --> 00:04:56,111
They can do that and contact me through that small portfolio.

48
00:04:56,111 --> 00:05:05,921
Awesome. Awesome. And maybe about maybe about how much time do you think it took you to maybe setup your portfolio?

49
00:05:05,921 --> 00:05:09,381
I didn't watch any videos like this getting started.

50
00:05:09,381 --> 00:05:16,721
So initially it took me probably a couple of hours just to familiarize myself with how it works.

51
00:05:16,721 --> 00:05:23,201
But it's really easy to pick up. Honestly, I just spent a lot of time playing with fonts and colors and.

52
00:05:23,201 --> 00:05:30,721
Yeah, that's great. And a lot of times you kind of have to do that anyway, because sometimes you get into an interface and you're editing and,

53
00:05:30,721 --> 00:05:35,811
you know, you you want to see you have to kind of get back out of it or look at the published views.

54
00:05:35,811 --> 00:05:43,391
You can see, like, what does it really look like? Also, look at the view on the mobile device, you know, and just kind of see how does it look.

55
00:05:43,391 --> 00:05:47,621
And sometimes also a lot of times that involves tweaking anyway, you know?

56
00:05:47,621 --> 00:05:51,161
So it's like you might as well just get in there, start playing, which is which is great.

57
00:05:51,161 --> 00:05:53,681
So cool. That was great. Thank you.

58
00:05:53,681 --> 00:06:05,101
And then, Noel, if you want to take a second to share your screen and walk us through some parts of your portfolio, that would be great.

59
00:06:05,101 --> 00:06:09,571
So this is my my portfolio.

60
00:06:09,571 --> 00:06:23,911
Similar to poxes, I have my work, my contacts and and just about page, you can change the name of these Web pages to say whatever labels you prefer.

61
00:06:23,911 --> 00:06:36,571
These are just the ones that were easiest for me. One thing that I that I found that I really like about the portfolio is you can embed gifts,

62
00:06:36,571 --> 00:06:43,741
which is nice since I started getting into some emotional work and this is just a project spelling out my name

63
00:06:43,741 --> 00:06:52,551
in Egyptian hieroglyphics based on a necklace my dad had given me and some research I had done about it.

64
00:06:52,551 --> 00:06:56,931
Cool. What is great?

65
00:06:56,931 --> 00:07:05,651
Yes. Thank you. So is usually pretty helpful if when you're an artist or when you're going to be, you know,

66
00:07:05,651 --> 00:07:14,831
maybe submitting your resumé to places or maybe looking for internships, you know, to start building your portfolio.

67
00:07:14,831 --> 00:07:21,251
You can have a digital resumé there. You can have like Alex had a contact us contact me page.

68
00:07:21,251 --> 00:07:28,391
You know, there's a way you can put in the form links to your social media. So something simple you can get people on and get.

69
00:07:28,391 --> 00:07:33,641
I give them an idea of your work and things like that is really great to start with.

70
00:07:33,641 --> 00:07:41,551
So I will say I had launch, of course, about how to use Adobe portfolio.

71
00:07:41,551 --> 00:07:48,401
And it took me a couple hours, not not so much getting used to the interface since the course was over that,

72
00:07:48,401 --> 00:07:57,131
but just making sure I had my files organized and in our Web ready format and, you know, file size.

73
00:07:57,131 --> 00:08:01,691
That would be quick to load. That was mainly one to me the longest.

74
00:08:01,691 --> 00:08:05,261
My image preparation. Yeah, that's true. That's true.

75
00:08:05,261 --> 00:08:09,071
So that's important to note. Of course, you do want your Web to load well.

76
00:08:09,071 --> 00:08:16,301
So if you are placing images within the portfolio, then yeah, that would definitely be something to consider.

77
00:08:16,301 --> 00:08:24,581
Maybe resizing those images a bit better before you put them in there so you might have your regular full size image and

78
00:08:24,581 --> 00:08:30,491
then you might have like a web ready one that you've actually used in your portfolio as kind of kind of like a thumbnail,

79
00:08:30,491 --> 00:08:34,391
you know, like a smaller version of it so that your page will load well.

80
00:08:34,391 --> 00:08:38,891
So, yeah, that's that's definitely a very good point for sure. All right.

81
00:08:38,891 --> 00:08:48,141
So I'll go back to sharing during my screen and we'll continue with the with the presentation today and then we'll get started in to a portfolio.

82
00:08:48,141 --> 00:08:55,361
And so feel free as we're going through the presentation to post questions in the chat, it's likely that Noel and Alex can answer them.

83
00:08:55,361 --> 00:08:59,591
And if we need to stop and talk about it, then we totally can. OK.

84
00:08:59,591 --> 00:09:04,151
But this the length that you have in your chat is today's presentation.

85
00:09:04,151 --> 00:09:13,721
You guys will also get a follow up email tomorrow with the link to the presentation, as well as a video recording of today's presentation.

86
00:09:13,721 --> 00:09:20,441
And so you guys can have that to refer to. Again, if you would like to, you can share it.

87
00:09:20,441 --> 00:09:24,011
Everything we're giving you is completely shareable. You can forward the email.

88
00:09:24,011 --> 00:09:29,021
Share it with friends, classmates, colleagues, whoever you think might benefit.

89
00:09:29,021 --> 00:09:34,421
Please feel free. And so on. This presentation, we've got some helpful links here for you.

90
00:09:34,421 --> 00:09:38,411
This is just getting started with Adobe portfolio help.

91
00:09:38,411 --> 00:09:44,021
And this has some real quick tips and things like that. As you can see, it's very minimalist.

92
00:09:44,021 --> 00:09:51,521
This is mainly because they made a massive changes in December. And so they kind of very quickly put up some help documentation.

93
00:09:51,521 --> 00:09:55,871
But there are you know, there's there's more specific things here.

94
00:09:55,871 --> 00:10:01,901
So if there's something you're not quite sure of that we didn't go over or something, then you can definitely check there.

95
00:10:01,901 --> 00:10:12,461
Also, if you have any very difficult integration questions for portfolio or if you have a specific feedback for Adobe portfolio,

96
00:10:12,461 --> 00:10:19,061
part of our agreement with Adobe gets us some some pretty nice premium access with Adobe.

97
00:10:19,061 --> 00:10:28,061
So I'm actually in contact with the Adobe portfolio product team because we were a good sort of case study for us to start using portfolio,

98
00:10:28,061 --> 00:10:36,211
especially with our art majors and so on. And so we're we're working with them and they actually have a portfolio survey here.

99
00:10:36,211 --> 00:10:40,781
This information actually goes directly to the Adobe portfolio product team.

100
00:10:40,781 --> 00:10:45,101
So as you use Portfolio four for you to complete that survey, give them some feedback,

101
00:10:45,101 --> 00:10:49,361
say, hey, I really like this or I don't like that, and that will help them in that jar.

102
00:10:49,361 --> 00:10:55,511
And that drives change. You know, I mean, they they're responsive and and want to help and make things better.

103
00:10:55,511 --> 00:11:01,151
And they've made a lot of changes for December. So that was really great.

104
00:11:01,151 --> 00:11:09,611
But basically, portfolio, you just it's Web based. You can go to portfolio that Adobe dot com and just visit on the web there and you sign in there.

105
00:11:09,611 --> 00:11:18,161
It is within the Adobe desktop app. But when when they're Web based, the desktop app will just launch the website for you.

106
00:11:18,161 --> 00:11:26,561
But it's great for photography, you know, anything that you have that could that could benefit from having visuals.

107
00:11:26,561 --> 00:11:33,131
So, you know, like sculpture, anything that you have on things that you've created, schematics, you know,

108
00:11:33,131 --> 00:11:40,031
that you've created, anything you can put sort of in an image format portfolio would be a nice fit for.

109
00:11:40,031 --> 00:11:47,891
So as far as the overall, like EA portfolio initiative on campus, the the the ones that the writing center,

110
00:11:47,891 --> 00:11:54,271
because they're sort of the you know, the managers of the EA Portfolio Initiative on campus.

111
00:11:54,271 --> 00:12:02,071
They support Wick's, Whibley and WordPress. And they're aware that we're teaching workshops on a Dobry portfolio.

112
00:12:02,071 --> 00:12:09,901
They're aware that it's an option and that and that especially for people in art photography, anything is sort of more image.

113
00:12:09,901 --> 00:12:15,361
Heavy journalism than portfolio can be a good option.

114
00:12:15,361 --> 00:12:24,481
And they're completely fine with that. As far as the support, you would probably come to us in the eye and Arcy for Adobe portfolio support.

115
00:12:24,481 --> 00:12:28,351
If you need help with your text, you know how to word things.

116
00:12:28,351 --> 00:12:33,541
Then the writing center could still, of course, assist you with that, like how to word your resumé and stuff like that.

117
00:12:33,541 --> 00:12:37,141
Not a problem. They probably can't help you with the technical part.

118
00:12:37,141 --> 00:12:40,681
We would be able to do that and they're aware that we partner with them. So not a problem.

119
00:12:40,681 --> 00:12:47,251
Just want to let you all know that. But Adobe Portfolio lets you create up to five sites.

120
00:12:47,251 --> 00:12:52,531
So that's really great. And previously, you can only do one. And you were kind of stuck with that.

121
00:12:52,531 --> 00:12:55,741
Now you can create up to five, which is which is really cool.

122
00:12:55,741 --> 00:13:02,581
So you might consider having like a couple of different sites depending on what you need.

123
00:13:02,581 --> 00:13:09,061
And so that that's just an idea. So you could use it, you know, for one event, you know.

124
00:13:09,061 --> 00:13:13,411
Or you could just have one giant portfolio. That's fine, too.

125
00:13:13,411 --> 00:13:22,081
But the fact that you can have more than one is great. And then when you graduate, you can use that new student asset migration tool.

126
00:13:22,081 --> 00:13:28,001
So you won't be like Brady and lose your stuff, like having to switch, you know, from institution to institution.

127
00:13:28,001 --> 00:13:38,911
So. And also, in talking with the Adobe portfolio team, they said that they just got permission to basically when you graduate,

128
00:13:38,911 --> 00:13:42,871
they will give you a Adobe portfolio for up to a year for free.

129
00:13:42,871 --> 00:13:49,831
So we have a deal right now where when you graduate, you can have Adobe for up to four months after you graduate.

130
00:13:49,831 --> 00:13:56,041
It's like a special code that Adobe will give you and stuff like that if you follow the directions we send you when you graduate.

131
00:13:56,041 --> 00:14:01,801
But portfolio goes, it is even going beyond that, which is very nice.

132
00:14:01,801 --> 00:14:05,731
Also, portfolio automatically does responsive design.

133
00:14:05,731 --> 00:14:13,111
So it really should be fine when you're designing your site and portfolio to also it should also be fine on the mobile device.

134
00:14:13,111 --> 00:14:17,701
But it's always a good idea to check when you're designing Web sites, you know, check it on different devices,

135
00:14:17,701 --> 00:14:26,371
different browsers and stuff like that, and just make sure maybe an image that you put in isn't sort of messing up the frames and stuff like that.

136
00:14:26,371 --> 00:14:31,591
But essentially, we're gonna kind of go through some some ways. How do you get started?

137
00:14:31,591 --> 00:14:33,631
As we get started with the Dubie portfolio,

138
00:14:33,631 --> 00:14:43,231
we're gonna have a couple of choices so we can choose for our home page to be a little bit more like what they call a splash page.

139
00:14:43,231 --> 00:14:50,161
That's a very, very simple page that maybe just has your name and a picture or a colored background and that's it,

140
00:14:50,161 --> 00:14:56,191
you know, and then maybe you have a few of the intro links there on that one page.

141
00:14:56,191 --> 00:15:02,641
Or you can choose for your home page to be the gallery of work, which will show like a gallery of images.

142
00:15:02,641 --> 00:15:10,591
And then each of those images will go to it, can go to different pages and can go to additional galleries or can just go to those pieces of artwork.

143
00:15:10,591 --> 00:15:16,381
So it depends on like how much work you have to share and how you want to share it.

144
00:15:16,381 --> 00:15:18,151
So that might be something to think about.

145
00:15:18,151 --> 00:15:26,611
Some people like to use that splash page as their home page because they might be giving out their portfolio addresses like a virtual business card.

146
00:15:26,611 --> 00:15:31,951
So the first thing they want people to see is their name, maybe their social media links,

147
00:15:31,951 --> 00:15:36,751
and then they would have the link to get into one of their galleries. And that's how you would.

148
00:15:36,751 --> 00:15:43,111
And that's how their page gets started. Some people like for immediately to kind of have the gallery of work up there and

149
00:15:43,111 --> 00:15:49,111
maybe like Alex and Noel had the then top navigation going with the different pages,

150
00:15:49,111 --> 00:15:53,701
you know, because maybe they like to hit people with automatically. Here's my work, you know.

151
00:15:53,701 --> 00:16:00,841
So just kind of fancy. You might want to think about how you want to kind of set up your page before you get started.

152
00:16:00,841 --> 00:16:06,231
But remember, you've also got you can go up to five sites. So if you wanted to, you could try both ways.

153
00:16:06,231 --> 00:16:11,371
See what you like and then decide. And then you're gonna be able to add pages from there.

154
00:16:11,371 --> 00:16:15,961
So you might think about the structure of it. You know, how many pages do you need?

155
00:16:15,961 --> 00:16:18,601
What sections do you want?

156
00:16:18,601 --> 00:16:29,251
You noticed on Noles and Alix's they had, like, you know, like an about page, the gallery page contact, you know, social media.

157
00:16:29,251 --> 00:16:33,921
So think about what are the main core elements you want in your portfolio?

158
00:16:33,921 --> 00:16:40,531
Kind of before you get into it, maybe even kind of just outline it a little bit. You're gonna be able to integrate light room albums.

159
00:16:40,531 --> 00:16:48,091
So you might want to think about that. If you've got a lot of images you want to show or a lot of different albums, that can be a good thing to use.

160
00:16:48,091 --> 00:16:54,121
Or you might want to just bring in your images separately like Noel says he does, because maybe he wants.

161
00:16:54,121 --> 00:16:58,111
Exactly what is where. And that kind of thing.

162
00:16:58,111 --> 00:17:06,961
And then you're gonna be able to add pages where you can put something like an artist's statement, statement of philosophy, something like that.

163
00:17:06,961 --> 00:17:12,991
You know, a little bit more bio, maybe biography and information about you.

164
00:17:12,991 --> 00:17:17,701
You can create a pay. Some people create a page for their CV or for their resume.

165
00:17:17,701 --> 00:17:23,461
The trick with putting resumes into a portfolio is portfolio will basically accept, you know,

166
00:17:23,461 --> 00:17:33,511
you typing text into it or it will accept images, but it won't let you import it basically as a straight up PDAF.

167
00:17:33,511 --> 00:17:39,211
So you have to kind of decide what you want to do with that if you want your resumé and portfolio.

168
00:17:39,211 --> 00:17:45,301
People either do one or two things. They copy and paste their resumé as text input.

169
00:17:45,301 --> 00:17:54,541
It's a straight up text into the page, or they take their PDAF of their resumé and then say that as a jpeg.

170
00:17:54,541 --> 00:17:57,751
And then they bring that jpeg into a portfolio.

171
00:17:57,751 --> 00:18:04,981
So the trick is, is not quite as editable within portfolio if you need to change something on your resume, on the fly.

172
00:18:04,981 --> 00:18:10,501
But of course, you could go back to your original PDAF, make the changes on your PDA resumé,

173
00:18:10,501 --> 00:18:16,171
export again as a JPEG, import again as a jpeg to your portfolio.

174
00:18:16,171 --> 00:18:23,611
So thinking about how if you want to, if you want to put your CV on there, you want to be careful about its fiscal to be a public page.

175
00:18:23,611 --> 00:18:26,281
How much personal information are you putting on there?

176
00:18:26,281 --> 00:18:30,811
You want people to be able to contact you, but maybe you don't want them to know everything right.

177
00:18:30,811 --> 00:18:35,541
About your resumé. Or maybe you have your Web resumé and then you have an actual one.

178
00:18:35,541 --> 00:18:41,721
You know, it's a little bit more with more sensitive information that separate a contact us page is great.

179
00:18:41,721 --> 00:18:43,691
The social icons are great to have.

180
00:18:43,691 --> 00:18:51,391
So keeping those in mind that you can connect things like LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, whatever it is that's going to be nice to do.

181
00:18:51,391 --> 00:19:01,001
You're gonna be able to publish your site to a public link and it'll basically be like Adobe, dot my portfolio and then slash whatever you want.

182
00:19:01,001 --> 00:19:08,191
It'll be your username at first and then you can change that. So we'll want to change those called your portfolio subdomain.

183
00:19:08,191 --> 00:19:12,121
So this is how you change that. And then it also does integrate with stock.

184
00:19:12,121 --> 00:19:21,391
So if you have a an account on stock like you or if you submit photography to them and stuff like that, then that can integrate.

185
00:19:21,391 --> 00:19:25,531
Behance can integrate. And then also Lightroom, I can integrate.

186
00:19:25,531 --> 00:19:31,051
Here's another great thing. You can password protect any page you want in your portfolio.

187
00:19:31,051 --> 00:19:32,551
So this is kind of a nice thing.

188
00:19:32,551 --> 00:19:40,771
If you're working with a client or something and you want to send them, you know, a certain gallery of work or something,

189
00:19:40,771 --> 00:19:45,301
you can create that on your portfolio, password protected and then send it to that person.

190
00:19:45,301 --> 00:19:50,881
Or sometimes when you're submitting to a contest, they want you to submit, you know, electronically.

191
00:19:50,881 --> 00:19:54,631
Something like that would work soon. It's not completely public.

192
00:19:54,631 --> 00:19:59,731
Your submission, you know, for the contest, but the password protected.

193
00:19:59,731 --> 00:20:07,351
So all kinds of neat stuff you can do. So let's go ahead and and get started with Adobe portfolio.

194
00:20:07,351 --> 00:20:13,031
So we'll go ahead and open this up and we're gonna start out from the very beginning.

195
00:20:13,031 --> 00:20:19,321
OK. So here we are, portfolio that Adobe dot com and the first thing we're gonna do.

196
00:20:19,321 --> 00:20:26,191
Of course, as Ogburn students, you get automatically and Adobe ideas have to go to Adobe to you and sign up.

197
00:20:26,191 --> 00:20:34,651
So you would do that first? You would set up your Adobe Eddie first. And then once you have that setup, then you would sign in to portfolio.

198
00:20:34,651 --> 00:20:40,471
Now, if you launch it from the from the desktop, it might have you signed in already.

199
00:20:40,471 --> 00:20:47,541
If you signed into your desktop app. So that could be an advantage. Now here you want to make sure you choose a company or school account.

200
00:20:47,541 --> 00:20:55,141
OK. So we always want to choose that. Or if it says enterprise account, that's what we want to choose, not the personal account.

201
00:20:55,141 --> 00:21:00,541
And then it's going to ask us to. Well, it it might ask you to authenticate there, which is totally fine.

202
00:21:00,541 --> 00:21:05,281
The little obvious indication, you know, that's totally fine.

203
00:21:05,281 --> 00:21:12,691
You are supposed to do that. So keep that in mind if that comes up.

204
00:21:12,691 --> 00:21:19,261
So once you are here. OK, it's saying, OK, what site do you want to add it?

205
00:21:19,261 --> 00:21:25,201
So I've already created a couple of sites. And remember, I can create up to five.

206
00:21:25,201 --> 00:21:30,331
And so I have this one here. And then I also have this one.

207
00:21:30,331 --> 00:21:31,771
And both of these are published.

208
00:21:31,771 --> 00:21:40,621
You can see when it was last publisher of data, which has been a little while, I need to work on that one, especially so I can pull myself together.

209
00:21:40,621 --> 00:21:45,291
And then this one is one I used for an example. And then you can also create a new site.

210
00:21:45,291 --> 00:21:49,561
So to start with new site, because it's probably where you would be starting from.

211
00:21:49,561 --> 00:21:57,131
So we'll go ahead and click new site. And of course, that reminds me, hey, it's free with your creative cloud subscription, yes.

212
00:21:57,131 --> 00:22:01,361
Isn't that great? So the first thing it wants me to do is to pick out a theme.

213
00:22:01,361 --> 00:22:07,841
And then it's telling me you have a couple of choices. And this is that splash page versus gallery page.

214
00:22:07,841 --> 00:22:14,171
So full portfolio would include a gallery page, which you can always add gallery pages.

215
00:22:14,171 --> 00:22:19,601
You always add regular pages to your portfolio. It's just asking you, how do you want to start?

216
00:22:19,601 --> 00:22:21,521
Do you want to start with a gallery look?

217
00:22:21,521 --> 00:22:30,221
Or do you want a very much a simple, simplistic, you know, get started here so you can see how this one kind of emulates that.

218
00:22:30,221 --> 00:22:34,601
Almost like it's an electronic business card type thing. It has a very brief intro.

219
00:22:34,601 --> 00:22:39,251
And then you go into your site and the social media links are right there.

220
00:22:39,251 --> 00:22:45,011
So think about how you want to set yours up and then decide accordingly.

221
00:22:45,011 --> 00:22:49,561
I think once you have chosen those is not quite as easy to maybe go back.

222
00:22:49,561 --> 00:22:52,301
Do you really want to think about like. Which one do you like?

223
00:22:52,301 --> 00:22:59,471
And then you might try both and see which at first and see which one you like before you dig in and start creating everything.

224
00:22:59,471 --> 00:23:05,381
One thing that I think some people have asked for is a portfolio.

225
00:23:05,381 --> 00:23:10,451
Will it let you duplicate a portfolio? And the answer is not yet.

226
00:23:10,451 --> 00:23:15,731
But I think that's something that they would probably add. And if we complete that survey and keep asking them for it,

227
00:23:15,731 --> 00:23:20,141
then that might be something that because I can see how that would be valuable to duplicate in a portfolio.

228
00:23:20,141 --> 00:23:26,711
And then just make changes to it. Right. But can do that right now. So anyway, so we're going to choose full portfolio.

229
00:23:26,711 --> 00:23:32,321
And then the next thing they want us to do is to pick a theme so we can go through and pick these themes.

230
00:23:32,321 --> 00:23:38,051
Here's a little fun fact about these steam's. They're named after the people who design them at Adobe.

231
00:23:38,051 --> 00:23:46,121
So I thought that was pretty clever. And so really, you can just look through these and decide which one kind of looks nice to you.

232
00:23:46,121 --> 00:23:52,011
And what do you think I'm going to pick? Thomas here.

233
00:23:52,011 --> 00:23:56,661
OK. And so here's a basically sort of a sample theme.

234
00:23:56,661 --> 00:24:01,551
OK. And we can kind of review this and decide if we like it.

235
00:24:01,551 --> 00:24:09,211
Mostly when you're looking at a theme to your thinking about do I pretty much like the setup of this theme,

236
00:24:09,211 --> 00:24:15,261
you know, or do I not like this one as much? And what you're looking at is they're all going to have a gallery style.

237
00:24:15,261 --> 00:24:21,291
You know, since we chose that. But look at the navigation is mostly what you're kind of paying attention to.

238
00:24:21,291 --> 00:24:24,771
So, you know, do you like that the navigation is this way?

239
00:24:24,771 --> 00:24:28,221
Do you like that the person's name is here, you know?

240
00:24:28,221 --> 00:24:35,391
Or do you prefer something else? And you can kind of skim through some of these different themes this way, which is handy.

241
00:24:35,391 --> 00:24:43,821
Notice also, I can look at the view in different formats so I can see maybe if it's really important to me how it looks like on the phone,

242
00:24:43,821 --> 00:24:49,571
then I'm going to like, look at that. Mostly the themes through the phone. Right.

243
00:24:49,571 --> 00:24:53,041
But this way you can kind of skim through and see which you like.

244
00:24:53,041 --> 00:24:57,451
So take some time to look at that and think about what you like, these are, you know,

245
00:24:57,451 --> 00:25:06,311
this one's work about incontact, these are similar to like what Noelle and Alex Sanchez and.

246
00:25:06,311 --> 00:25:14,061
Andreas. Yes. So all kinds of neat themes you can choose from.

247
00:25:14,061 --> 00:25:18,571
But that's what those pretty cool they're named after. You know, the people who created them, which is cool.

248
00:25:18,571 --> 00:25:24,231
Let's go with Ludwigs. This is nice. So we'll go ahead and choose use this theme.

249
00:25:24,231 --> 00:25:30,201
And then we'll give it a second to create our site.

250
00:25:30,201 --> 00:25:36,191
All right, so here essentially and notice it did it from my name because I'm signed on to my degree I.D.

251
00:25:36,191 --> 00:25:41,121
Pretty cool. And so basically it's talk about the interface for a moment.

252
00:25:41,121 --> 00:25:46,311
So this would be our are essentially our home page. Which is a gallery.

253
00:25:46,311 --> 00:25:53,121
And then I can adjust these navigation pieces. Anything that you mouseover notice, you have the little edit button.

254
00:25:53,121 --> 00:25:59,751
That's how you can go to make some of the changes so you can change some of the settings within each of the themes.

255
00:25:59,751 --> 00:26:05,931
So just go with what you in general think would be the good navigation that you like and stuff like that.

256
00:26:05,931 --> 00:26:18,501
And then you can add pages here. And you can also edit the footer know, so you can keep adding things and to your to your page here.

257
00:26:18,501 --> 00:26:22,941
And then before we get into that, we'll also look at sort of our sidebar over here.

258
00:26:22,941 --> 00:26:28,551
So the pages basically shows you your setup of your site.

259
00:26:28,551 --> 00:26:32,631
So your pages is pretty important once you get multiple pages set up.

260
00:26:32,631 --> 00:26:37,761
Then you'll see, you know, multiple pages here and that's how you organize your structure.

261
00:26:37,761 --> 00:26:45,171
So if you want pages housed inside of other pages instead of linked to from home, then that's how you would adjust it.

262
00:26:45,171 --> 00:26:52,251
Here we can choose to pull our integrations. If you have Behance, it's going to pull your Behance automatically.

263
00:26:52,251 --> 00:26:57,261
So here's where you would turn that off if you don't want that to happen just yet.

264
00:26:57,261 --> 00:27:01,671
And then here's where you can add Lightroom albums as well.

265
00:27:01,671 --> 00:27:09,211
So if I click, add albums. Simple, if we can get this to work on the fly, we'll try it.

266
00:27:09,211 --> 00:27:13,261
So here some albums. Let's add art sample.

267
00:27:13,261 --> 00:27:18,421
That sounds nice. So we're gonna add this like your album. Oh, it's already been imported.

268
00:27:18,421 --> 00:27:24,841
Yeah. So we'll go ahead and go back to the other. So because I've already imported that one, it's probably not gonna want me to import it again.

269
00:27:24,841 --> 00:27:30,501
So let's see if I've chosen. If I can choose a different album, I probably haven't imported that one.

270
00:27:30,501 --> 00:27:34,651
Let's try that. That, of course, that one's been imported already as well.

271
00:27:34,651 --> 00:27:39,121
I'll show you that on a different site anyway. You can see that's where you would go to to add them.

272
00:27:39,121 --> 00:27:44,581
I'll show you on a different site where they actually are and stuff. So that's where the integration's are.

273
00:27:44,581 --> 00:27:46,351
So if you want to integrate a light room album.

274
00:27:46,351 --> 00:27:53,381
So the trick is to go to light room, arrange the album the way you want it first, and then imported into portfolio.

275
00:27:53,381 --> 00:28:01,381
OK. And then themes here. So if you decide later to switch to a different theme, then you can do that.

276
00:28:01,381 --> 00:28:06,091
OK, so you're not necessarily tied to that theme.

277
00:28:06,091 --> 00:28:11,281
It you know, it will, you know, switch around your stuff and, you know,

278
00:28:11,281 --> 00:28:15,961
it does a pretty good job of switching things up, maintaining your contact settings.

279
00:28:15,961 --> 00:28:19,141
So this is where we can change a lot of our settings.

280
00:28:19,141 --> 00:28:30,181
So initially, when you create your first Adobe portfolio, your site Subdomain, which is your main published address of your Web site,

281
00:28:30,181 --> 00:28:38,401
which is what you would give people to visit, your site is listed here and yours would just be automatically your user name.

282
00:28:38,401 --> 00:28:44,761
So if I don't really want CPA jazzes or two three, which I probably don't write, this is where you would change that.

283
00:28:44,761 --> 00:28:52,531
So you can generally just type in whatever you would like here. And then your address is going to be is going to be a GDP.

284
00:28:52,531 --> 00:28:58,861
And then whatever you decide to put here, dot my portfolio, dot com is your address.

285
00:28:58,861 --> 00:29:09,041
And then that's that's for free. You get your own basically little subdomain as long as you're OK with the my portfolio dot com part, which,

286
00:29:09,041 --> 00:29:13,951
you know, that's perfectly fine, especially while you're still a student and you know, that kind of thing.

287
00:29:13,951 --> 00:29:20,461
And then later on, if you decide to, you can purchase that as a domain or if you go purchase it elsewhere,

288
00:29:20,461 --> 00:29:25,021
you're supposed to be able to connected here, but you can't go to purchase a domain.

289
00:29:25,021 --> 00:29:31,531
And Dobi actually does a pretty good job here. It'll take you to like 10 or 12 different choices.

290
00:29:31,531 --> 00:29:36,201
And it even shows you like the monthly cost right there. So it's kind of like shopping around a little.

291
00:29:36,201 --> 00:29:41,041
It's like little Craigslist for that, which is kind of fun. So you can rename that whatever you like.

292
00:29:41,041 --> 00:29:45,031
So if you're thinking about it globally, you can get up to five sites.

293
00:29:45,031 --> 00:29:54,031
Right. So you could have sort of like a little bit different themed, you know, portfolios if you wanted to, which is neat.

294
00:29:54,031 --> 00:30:01,741
And then also some other things you can adjust here. You can choose what is your home page.

295
00:30:01,741 --> 00:30:09,211
Since we chose the gallery format, the gallery or work is going to be our home page.

296
00:30:09,211 --> 00:30:11,941
But we can change that.

297
00:30:11,941 --> 00:30:19,771
So if you decide later, you want to have you want to create more of a splash page and make that be the home page, you can adjust that here, OK?

298
00:30:19,771 --> 00:30:25,531
In your in your settings, there are some you can set this up for analytics.

299
00:30:25,531 --> 00:30:33,691
So if you use Google Analytics, then you could go and put in your tracking code here and tell it to track the hits to your site.

300
00:30:33,691 --> 00:30:35,221
There's some other more technical stuff.

301
00:30:35,221 --> 00:30:40,651
We won't really get into a whole lot of this, but it is a good idea to put a metal description in your site and Medek keywords,

302
00:30:40,651 --> 00:30:44,971
if you want people to be able to search Google and like, find you and stuff.

303
00:30:44,971 --> 00:30:52,441
So that's that's nice to be able to do. Same thing with meta tags. I was going to point out the fat again.

304
00:30:52,441 --> 00:30:56,871
Yeah. Go ahead. People have like personal branding that they do.

305
00:30:56,871 --> 00:31:03,661
If you have your own kind of startup business or any kind of product that you're selling or trying to promote yourself,

306
00:31:03,661 --> 00:31:10,951
if you have any branding like your initials as your logo or something, you can use that as your fat icon,

307
00:31:10,951 --> 00:31:16,501
which is like the little the little picture that shows up in your browser bar tab.

308
00:31:16,501 --> 00:31:21,481
Yeah. So I don't know. That can be a nice touch if you're trying to promote yourself.

309
00:31:21,481 --> 00:31:27,271
It's cool. That's a very nice touch, especially if someone is unikom of art and design and that kind of thing kind of shows you

310
00:31:27,271 --> 00:31:32,041
kind of want that little extra mile to kind of put that sort of personal touch on it.

311
00:31:32,041 --> 00:31:37,801
So, yeah, that's great. That's awesome. Thank you for pointing that out. And definitely Noelle and Alex, feel free to jump in.

312
00:31:37,801 --> 00:31:43,581
If there's something you see that you're like, oh, they should know this or whatever. Feel free to totally jump in this a first time.

313
00:31:43,581 --> 00:31:50,851
We're really doing this portfolio workshop. So we're still getting getting our our stuff get worked out and everything.

314
00:31:50,851 --> 00:31:57,541
But yeah, that's great. I think that's a great point, that you can create your own and it's a good idea just in general to start branding yourself.

315
00:31:57,541 --> 00:32:04,021
That way you can use that same little logo like on your pdaf of your of your resumé, you know,

316
00:32:04,021 --> 00:32:08,131
and just kind of like your title and together and so on, as well as a cover letter.

317
00:32:08,131 --> 00:32:17,281
You know, you can do all that kind of stuff. Let's see, Web clip icon, let's say, oh, this is where somebody can if they want to save your page,

318
00:32:17,281 --> 00:32:22,321
you can make a little like automatic thumbnail thing. So you can probably use your Fab.com for that, too.

319
00:32:22,321 --> 00:32:27,801
I would think you might want to do that. Same thing with social sharing thumbnail.

320
00:32:27,801 --> 00:32:31,411
There's always a little custom things you can do so when people share your site.

321
00:32:31,411 --> 00:32:36,641
Kind of automatically showing these little thumbnails and stuff like that.

322
00:32:36,641 --> 00:32:44,741
Under site options, you have some additional stuff you can do this disable right click if there are any kind of decent Web person,

323
00:32:44,741 --> 00:32:52,271
they know how to get around that anyway, but it at least prevents people from doing that on the first step, you know.

324
00:32:52,271 --> 00:32:58,271
So that's kind of nice. You know, it shows that you have gone a little bit of effort to disable that.

325
00:32:58,271 --> 00:33:04,001
So people can't just save your images. Right. Click and save as a question about that.

326
00:33:04,001 --> 00:33:06,731
Oh, yeah. Image downloading.

327
00:33:06,731 --> 00:33:16,301
I think Brady was asking if it's like clients would be able to, like, download quality images off their like off a Adobe portfolio page.

328
00:33:16,301 --> 00:33:19,211
Do you know anything about that? Mm hmm. Let's see.

329
00:33:19,211 --> 00:33:28,391
Well, if you upload it as an image, then probably whatever settings you put to that image that you uploaded there.

330
00:33:28,391 --> 00:33:32,051
Then if you capture this not checked and allowed people to.

331
00:33:32,051 --> 00:33:43,841
Right. Click and save image as then they should be able to save a pretty decently sized image of your work.

332
00:33:43,841 --> 00:33:48,911
I mean, Brady, would you want people to be able to do that, though?

333
00:33:48,911 --> 00:33:55,471
Because maybe if you're trying to, like, sell your photos and that kind of thing, you maybe don't want people to do that?

334
00:33:55,471 --> 00:33:59,171
Or are you thinking about a file transfer system?

335
00:33:59,171 --> 00:34:07,731
Right now, how I do photography is my I have a set rate where they what they pay comes with every photo that I take.

336
00:34:07,731 --> 00:34:09,101
That's, you know, edited.

337
00:34:09,101 --> 00:34:15,221
And so right now I use Pixie said dot com, which is really great for client gallery downloads because they can hit one button.

338
00:34:15,221 --> 00:34:21,931
It downloads all the photos at once. I don't know if there was just some ways that maybe Portfolio has built that in for clients who.

339
00:34:21,931 --> 00:34:25,961
You know, that's a good question. I don't think so.

340
00:34:25,961 --> 00:34:33,031
So I don't think Portfolio had intended to for it to be sort of more of a selling platform.

341
00:34:33,031 --> 00:34:40,181
You know, I think they really wanted it to be more. They designed it to be more of a showcase platform.

342
00:34:40,181 --> 00:34:47,801
And then you would contact the artist, you know, if you were interested in purchasing their work and you would do that through a separate means.

343
00:34:47,801 --> 00:34:53,531
What they have done is they've integrated it with stock. So see, for about on Adobe's side.

344
00:34:53,531 --> 00:34:58,711
The way that you would sell your photography is through their Adobe stock, which you can do.

345
00:34:58,711 --> 00:35:05,711
You know, you can sign up to be an Adobe stock contributor. I don't know quite all the details of the details of that.

346
00:35:05,711 --> 00:35:10,361
You know, like I don't know how much they take, you know, and that kind of thing.

347
00:35:10,361 --> 00:35:17,171
So that would be something to look into. But I do know people who do that and, you know, are happy with how it has worked out.

348
00:35:17,171 --> 00:35:22,121
They just go to Adobe Stock and sign up to be a contributor. They agree to the agreements.

349
00:35:22,121 --> 00:35:28,541
And Adobe is typically all about the artist anyway. I'm sure they take some portion because they're helping you sell it.

350
00:35:28,541 --> 00:35:36,041
You know, they're being the platform for that. But that Adobe stock would be a dhobis platform for selling your photography.

351
00:35:36,041 --> 00:35:44,051
Not really a dairy portfolio. I just don't think they envisioned it being for that.

352
00:35:44,051 --> 00:35:48,191
No, what you could do in some cases is password protect some of the pages.

353
00:35:48,191 --> 00:35:55,171
If you are working with a client. So that could work, you know, as sort of a work around because you could.

354
00:35:55,171 --> 00:35:59,801
But then you're kind of you're putting, you know, heavy duty images, you know,

355
00:35:59,801 --> 00:36:08,201
like memory heavy images on your portfolio site, which I would think might slow down your whole site at some point.

356
00:36:08,201 --> 00:36:12,911
So probably just want to kind of be careful with that. But that could be another option.

357
00:36:12,911 --> 00:36:15,701
If you're working with a client, maybe you send them thumbnails.

358
00:36:15,701 --> 00:36:22,421
It could be under a password protected page because you just password protect one page.

359
00:36:22,421 --> 00:36:30,761
Could you show how to do that? Because I'm only saying password protect the whole site on the on your screen.

360
00:36:30,761 --> 00:36:35,051
Yes. You should be able to password protect just one page.

361
00:36:35,051 --> 00:36:42,311
And I think you do that on the page itself. So we'll probably go look and find that on.

362
00:36:42,311 --> 00:36:48,791
But I'm pretty sure you can. This is in here, I think, in case you wanted to password protect your whole site.

363
00:36:48,791 --> 00:36:52,661
But I think you password protect the page on the page settings.

364
00:36:52,661 --> 00:36:57,911
So right now we're in like the whole site's settings. So we'll we'll look and see if we can find that.

365
00:36:57,911 --> 00:37:05,261
But I'm pretty sure it's on the page. And then it looks like the see cookie banner after the viewers Kootenay.

366
00:37:05,261 --> 00:37:11,711
So that's you know, you can look at that and decide if you want if you want some sort of cookie banner.

367
00:37:11,711 --> 00:37:16,661
So let's see. Restore Web site, Stiles.

368
00:37:16,661 --> 00:37:24,311
I think that is for if you switch themes and you kind of got messed up and you went back to a different theme,

369
00:37:24,311 --> 00:37:30,611
I think this is what that is, if you needed to do that. And then we haven't published our site yet.

370
00:37:30,611 --> 00:37:36,701
But notice, if we had, then we have an option to on publish our site so we could take it down from being live.

371
00:37:36,701 --> 00:37:41,681
So, like, if you're doing a major overhaul and want people looking at your site while you were moving stuff around,

372
00:37:41,681 --> 00:37:48,431
you could publish it and then go back and republish it. And then there's an account region set up that you can manage.

373
00:37:48,431 --> 00:37:54,911
So, like, if you were paying for, you know, the more premium one where you don't have the my portfolio dot com on there.

374
00:37:54,911 --> 00:37:59,891
And then, of course, you could change the region if it wasn't United States. I think it's in there by default.

375
00:37:59,891 --> 00:38:08,291
So those are kind of the settings here. And then you can also site wide turn on the feature of having a logo.

376
00:38:08,291 --> 00:38:14,951
Some themes have this. And I think, you know, some things you have to turn it on or something like that.

377
00:38:14,951 --> 00:38:22,541
So different themes are using different settings in different ways. And then you can also adjust navigation and so on here.

378
00:38:22,541 --> 00:38:28,361
And we if there's a foot or not, you can adjust that. So you just toggle these things on and off.

379
00:38:28,361 --> 00:38:34,061
And then, of course, you can you add at you can add a page here. So we're gonna create a page.

380
00:38:34,061 --> 00:38:40,001
We can bring in a whole light remote boom. Or we can make a sub page.

381
00:38:40,001 --> 00:38:46,391
So then we can make another sub page here and we can create a page whenever you create a page.

382
00:38:46,391 --> 00:38:53,351
Pay attention to where you want it. So if you want it to be automatically under your work or home, then you can do that.

383
00:38:53,351 --> 00:38:57,221
But you can create pages and then create some pages to those pages.

384
00:38:57,221 --> 00:39:02,651
So you just have to go to that page and then, you know, keep adding if you want to if you want to go deep like that.

385
00:39:02,651 --> 00:39:05,621
You want to think about that, though, and make sure it's easy for your site to navigate.

386
00:39:05,621 --> 00:39:09,281
So you don't want it pages to be too far embedded most of the time.

387
00:39:09,281 --> 00:39:14,561
So that's essentially your you know, the all the kind of navigation pieces over here.

388
00:39:14,561 --> 00:39:23,951
I think it's probably easier if I go back and show you one that sort of a little bit more, you know, in the in the mix and being used.

389
00:39:23,951 --> 00:39:30,281
You can also add a page from here, too. And then here you can adjust which pages or where.

390
00:39:30,281 --> 00:39:37,561
So we'll go back actually here and then we'll go in to this, like, sample one.

391
00:39:37,561 --> 00:39:44,431
That was messing around with. So here's one that I had started and I messed around with a bit.

392
00:39:44,431 --> 00:39:48,871
And so you can see I've added a light room album here in here.

393
00:39:48,871 --> 00:39:52,561
So this is that integration that we were talking about.

394
00:39:52,561 --> 00:40:02,701
So if I go into if I click the edit buttons, this is technically a page, but this page is made up of a light room album that I imported.

395
00:40:02,701 --> 00:40:07,411
So once I go to the edit button, I can choose some different choices.

396
00:40:07,411 --> 00:40:16,141
I can have a thumb, a cover image that I can decide, I can edit what info is on that page and I can edit the page content.

397
00:40:16,141 --> 00:40:22,221
So if I go to edit page content, for example. We'll let that load.

398
00:40:22,221 --> 00:40:30,351
OK. And so this was an integration with with light room and see it automatically put these in here.

399
00:40:30,351 --> 00:40:34,071
And if you want to do captioning, you can do it a couple other ways.

400
00:40:34,071 --> 00:40:39,201
You can do captioning afterwards or you can do the captioning within Lightroom.

401
00:40:39,201 --> 00:40:44,661
I think it has to be in the actual part. This is caption in Lightroom.

402
00:40:44,661 --> 00:40:47,631
And then it'll bring in those captions into portfolio.

403
00:40:47,631 --> 00:40:54,671
So if you are one that has to have captions or that's a good idea for you to have, then that is an option there too.

404
00:40:54,671 --> 00:41:02,661
And anything on your pages, of course, you can keep editing and so on. And so let's just go back and then you've got your navigation up here.

405
00:41:02,661 --> 00:41:11,361
So Gallery two. So in this case, I just created a second gallery page just so you can see that you can have multiple galleries,

406
00:41:11,361 --> 00:41:16,491
you can create another page and just keep adding here. And so this was some cool art.

407
00:41:16,491 --> 00:41:21,771
These are also. And then we can just add more pages if we want to. Let's just add a regular page.

408
00:41:21,771 --> 00:41:29,091
You can kind of see. What it would look like so well to say sample.

409
00:41:29,091 --> 00:41:33,501
And then we can either put it in gallery, too, or we can put it in work.

410
00:41:33,501 --> 00:41:39,771
These are examples of how you can you can have a page, be a gallery or you can have a page, just be a regular page.

411
00:41:39,771 --> 00:41:44,781
So we'll go ahead and create page notice. You can also make some pages here.

412
00:41:44,781 --> 00:41:53,151
So you have kind of a couple of different options. Once you've created a new page, then you kind of get some blank options, right.

413
00:41:53,151 --> 00:41:57,511
So this is the name of the page which I can adjust. It did that automatically.

414
00:41:57,511 --> 00:42:03,021
OK. And then down here, we can start building it so we can toss in an image.

415
00:42:03,021 --> 00:42:06,621
Just stand alone. We can do a photo grid and take that take that.

416
00:42:06,621 --> 00:42:10,311
First one I showed you was a photo grid, not a light room album. I think that's what that was.

417
00:42:10,311 --> 00:42:15,921
And I can just put plain text in here. You can bring in a light room album video.

418
00:42:15,921 --> 00:42:23,061
You can bring an audio. You can embed code. OK. So if you've got some sort of embed code that you want to add here,

419
00:42:23,061 --> 00:42:28,251
then you can do that a button so that you can link to something else if you want to.

420
00:42:28,251 --> 00:42:35,481
Social icon. So this is really cool. So what was nice is you probably were pretty impressed by seeing their social icons.

421
00:42:35,481 --> 00:42:42,861
There was so great is they're already here in portfolio and you just click to add them.

422
00:42:42,861 --> 00:42:47,951
And then over here you just go and get your rolls of your or type it in if you happen to know it.

423
00:42:47,951 --> 00:42:52,101
You know, if you know what your Twitter Twitter handle is, of course you can just type that in.

424
00:42:52,101 --> 00:42:57,861
It does need to be the full link. So you have to start with the issue to be part.

425
00:42:57,861 --> 00:43:03,201
So go go copy and paste your link from LinkedIn and put it here.

426
00:43:03,201 --> 00:43:11,091
And then if you if you if you put it and it's automatically going to toggle on, if you don't enter it, then it won't show up here.

427
00:43:11,091 --> 00:43:14,781
So you can put as many or as little as you want.

428
00:43:14,781 --> 00:43:23,541
Now they have tick tock. That's pretty cool. And then as you're making your changes, you would choose to update the live site.

429
00:43:23,541 --> 00:43:27,381
If we were if we were in the other one where we didn't publish it yet.

430
00:43:27,381 --> 00:43:33,801
We would have the option to publish here. And then essentially we would just say, yes, go ahead and publish.

431
00:43:33,801 --> 00:43:38,301
And then in the settings we saw, we could adjust, you know, what the domain name is.

432
00:43:38,301 --> 00:43:43,581
But as we are editing our portfolio site, we always want to maybe update it.

433
00:43:43,581 --> 00:43:47,841
And the other thing you want to do as you're working is to preview it so you can preview right here,

434
00:43:47,841 --> 00:43:53,731
see what is it going to look like, you know, before you make your changes and things like that.

435
00:43:53,731 --> 00:43:57,821
And then you can make sure you update the live site, OK?

436
00:43:57,821 --> 00:44:02,751
Because that's like saying take my changes and save them and push them out live.

437
00:44:02,751 --> 00:44:07,101
So when people visit your site, they'll see the updated items.

438
00:44:07,101 --> 00:44:12,381
And then you're making your site. You don't have to, like, updated as you go or publish actually go.

439
00:44:12,381 --> 00:44:19,941
You can edit a page, go back to your home page, edit things there and it portfolio like saves as you go.

440
00:44:19,941 --> 00:44:26,451
It doesn't updated the live site as you go. It doesn't publish it as you go, but it saves your changes on each page as you go.

441
00:44:26,451 --> 00:44:34,251
I'm pretty sure. Yes. Perfect. Yeah. I appreciate you pointing that out because as she explained, I'm like live editing this right now.

442
00:44:34,251 --> 00:44:39,341
And until I actually hit update live site, those published those changes aren't gonna be public yet.

443
00:44:39,341 --> 00:44:40,581
You know, I'm just changing it.

444
00:44:40,581 --> 00:44:50,331
So like she said, you can work on a page for a while and just keep editing it and then wait till you're ready and then actually publish your changes.

445
00:44:50,331 --> 00:44:55,521
And then again, just to go back to the regular page options to add things you just can't.

446
00:44:55,521 --> 00:45:00,261
Plus and then these are the same options. They just look a little bit different.

447
00:45:00,261 --> 00:45:05,391
But you can add video. This contact form was another thing that we saw on their pages, right.

448
00:45:05,391 --> 00:45:10,851
On Alex and those pages. So the social icons were important, the contact form.

449
00:45:10,851 --> 00:45:16,791
So let's go to the concept form and look what it does. It automatically just puts in a contact form for you.

450
00:45:16,791 --> 00:45:21,351
So you didn't have to go and, like, figure out how to do this and do the mail to code and all that kind of stuff.

451
00:45:21,351 --> 00:45:26,991
Right. Well, I'm actually do this. And of course, this is going to send to your obscene email address,

452
00:45:26,991 --> 00:45:32,961
because that's the one that Adobe portfolio has on file for you because of your Adobe I.D.,

453
00:45:32,961 --> 00:45:36,651
whatever Adobe idea you have, whatever email you have associated with it.

454
00:45:36,651 --> 00:45:38,721
That's what it's going to send to.

455
00:45:38,721 --> 00:45:51,061
So that's pretty nice that you can just really simply add the contact there with the typography or the text notifications.

456
00:45:51,061 --> 00:45:57,561
Are those. This does the site integrate with type kit as well?

457
00:45:57,561 --> 00:46:03,321
You know, I don't think it does. I think because it has those themes.

458
00:46:03,321 --> 00:46:09,591
I think you're it's kind of, you know, kind of stuck with those themes, you know.

459
00:46:09,591 --> 00:46:17,151
So I changed font within your Web site. Like, if you edit your title, you can change the font within that.

460
00:46:17,151 --> 00:46:21,341
But if you have font saved on your computer, it doesn't.

461
00:46:21,341 --> 00:46:27,351
Sync up with that Adobe portfolio has their own fonts that you select from.

462
00:46:27,351 --> 00:46:32,271
Gotcha. Good. And it probably has those because it's got those themes.

463
00:46:32,271 --> 00:46:39,351
Yeah. So that's a good point. So even though I've chosen this theme, I could likely choose the font style, say,

464
00:46:39,351 --> 00:46:45,411
of my name or whatever or whatever I want here, but I'm still limited to kind of these choices.

465
00:46:45,411 --> 00:46:51,471
So. And you might want to keep in mind that, you know, you you've chosen a theme.

466
00:46:51,471 --> 00:46:57,921
And the reason why they have a theme is because they're trying to be consistent with the font styles and also all that stuff across.

467
00:46:57,921 --> 00:47:03,571
So you might want to just think about carefully. Do you really want to change the font style?

468
00:47:03,571 --> 00:47:08,481
This one thing when it's sort of the point is to have a nice theme so you don't have to worry about it.

469
00:47:08,481 --> 00:47:13,971
So everything's kind of like, you know, aligned and and looks nice and that kind of thing.

470
00:47:13,971 --> 00:47:21,501
But yeah, you can change your fonts over here by doing that. Basically, just click the edit signs and start editing things.

471
00:47:21,501 --> 00:47:26,631
And then if you need to, you know, those themes had some navigation that came with it.

472
00:47:26,631 --> 00:47:33,381
Right. With whatever pen. And as you add pages, the navigation automatically gets added here.

473
00:47:33,381 --> 00:47:36,651
So for this particular site, I would want to think about that.

474
00:47:36,651 --> 00:47:42,471
Right. Like, if I'm going to have tons of pages, I may want some of these to be in this navigation here,

475
00:47:42,471 --> 00:47:47,691
but maybe not all of them, because then it's gonna like crowd this and be too crowded.

476
00:47:47,691 --> 00:47:53,781
And on a phone, it'll look all squished and stuff like that. But you can customize and make changes to that.

477
00:47:53,781 --> 00:48:02,001
You can manage the pages. So over here under pages, if we look now at a site that actually has more pages,

478
00:48:02,001 --> 00:48:09,281
here's where we can do some more customization so we can rearrange these pages as well.

479
00:48:09,281 --> 00:48:14,761
OK. There's options under these settings to where if we wanted to make changes.

480
00:48:14,761 --> 00:48:23,261
So that's like. So like when we pulled in the Lightroom album, it's just gonna take the Lightroom album name and assume that's what we want.

481
00:48:23,261 --> 00:48:26,721
The page name today, which might be the case, but it might not.

482
00:48:26,721 --> 00:48:32,301
So in that case, you can choose to edit your page titles here.

483
00:48:32,301 --> 00:48:35,871
You can duplicate pages. So that's something to think about.

484
00:48:35,871 --> 00:48:40,341
You can't duplicate portfolios, but you can duplicate pages.

485
00:48:40,341 --> 00:48:46,251
So if you had a style you liked and then you'd want to go back and change the images or something, you could do that.

486
00:48:46,251 --> 00:48:52,611
Like if you have a format that you liked or a layout that you liked. Hey, Noel, here's where you add the page password.

487
00:48:52,611 --> 00:49:01,701
So we've found it here. So under pages. And then you have to click the page that you want and you click the gear settings for that page.

488
00:49:01,701 --> 00:49:06,761
And here's where you can add a page password just for that particular page.

489
00:49:06,761 --> 00:49:10,341
Yeah. So that was a good question. Of course, that's a good question.

490
00:49:10,341 --> 00:49:15,981
So now we know how to do that. So we had to go into the page navigation and figure that out.

491
00:49:15,981 --> 00:49:20,721
And then notice we can tell this page to hide in the navigation.

492
00:49:20,721 --> 00:49:25,161
So not only could be at a password to it, we could also hide it in the navigation.

493
00:49:25,161 --> 00:49:33,081
And then it's kind of like an unlisted euro. And then you could send that unlisted your out to somebody like submit it to a contest or something.

494
00:49:33,081 --> 00:49:40,311
So that's kind of nice. It's not as public notice that any page can be said as the home page.

495
00:49:40,311 --> 00:49:47,031
So that might be kind of a fun thing to do, would be to create different pages as potential home pages.

496
00:49:47,031 --> 00:49:51,351
And you could even change those as you wanted to if you wanted to.

497
00:49:51,351 --> 00:49:56,001
For your page to have a fresh look. That might be kind of a cool thing to do.

498
00:49:56,001 --> 00:50:00,561
Here's a trick that we need to be aware of when you're integrating Lightroom.

499
00:50:00,561 --> 00:50:05,751
So when you are getting light rain, you get your albums set up on your Lightroom app.

500
00:50:05,751 --> 00:50:09,441
However you want, you know, in the order that you want. And all that good stuff.

501
00:50:09,441 --> 00:50:14,121
Because it's going to it's going to pull it in exactly as you have it in Lightroom.

502
00:50:14,121 --> 00:50:20,331
If you make changes to your album and Lightroom, so you add captions, you rearrange the photos,

503
00:50:20,331 --> 00:50:26,991
you remove some photos, you add some photos, and then that album is integrated with portfolio.

504
00:50:26,991 --> 00:50:32,481
You have to go into the page settings and tell it to reset from Lightroom.

505
00:50:32,481 --> 00:50:34,581
So this means please refresh.

506
00:50:34,581 --> 00:50:43,821
It's telling portfolio, go back and look at that Lightroom album because I just made changes to it and pull it in again and and update it.

507
00:50:43,821 --> 00:50:47,871
So you must do that if you integrate Lightroom albums.

508
00:50:47,871 --> 00:50:54,781
So you have to think about. Do you want to sort of manage your stuff in light ram rearrange stuff there because maybe that's where you live.

509
00:50:54,781 --> 00:51:01,751
You know, you have a lot of stuff in there. Or are you comfortable just pulling in straight up images into like a photo grid?

510
00:51:01,751 --> 00:51:07,641
Or just images onto an Adobe portfolio page? And then updating those pages accordingly,

511
00:51:07,641 --> 00:51:13,931
trends on how much work you have and like how you organize your staff and maybe how you like

512
00:51:13,931 --> 00:51:20,381
to work and maybe how big you want the images to be on the screen and stuff like that.

513
00:51:20,381 --> 00:51:26,981
So you can kind of decide that. But just that's the trick with using Lightroom is if you make changes to light your room album,

514
00:51:26,981 --> 00:51:30,131
you have to then go to Adobe till it's reset from Lightroom.

515
00:51:30,131 --> 00:51:36,431
But you can see the advantage if you already live in Lightroom and you already have your albums set up there.

516
00:51:36,431 --> 00:51:39,341
And that's where you do a lot of your rearranging and stuff like that,

517
00:51:39,341 --> 00:51:48,101
then it's easier to just to go reset from Lightroom than it is to have a 20 20 photo photo grid

518
00:51:48,101 --> 00:51:53,621
that you have designed and a portfolio page and then totally go back and redo all of that,

519
00:51:53,621 --> 00:52:02,981
you know, however you have you want. So, you know, think about like your work style and how you want to and how you want to do that.

520
00:52:02,981 --> 00:52:07,151
There's also this little option. You can tell it to show up in multiple collections.

521
00:52:07,151 --> 00:52:11,111
So the collections is basically the Lightroom album. OK.

522
00:52:11,111 --> 00:52:16,811
It's like the same thing. They just call it different things, I guess. But you can tell it to show up in multiple things.

523
00:52:16,811 --> 00:52:20,741
So if you wanted this particular album to show up in multiple places,

524
00:52:20,741 --> 00:52:24,371
then you could do that like multiple galleries, because we have two galleries right now.

525
00:52:24,371 --> 00:52:28,601
Right. So it's saying, hey, you can you can pull this into both galleries.

526
00:52:28,601 --> 00:52:35,291
So, like, if I had an album that was pertinent to both types of galleries and then I had some albums that were pertinent to one,

527
00:52:35,291 --> 00:52:40,961
but not the other than I could do that. You know, I can arrange it how I like.

528
00:52:40,961 --> 00:52:46,721
And then you can also just toggle some of these pages on and off.

529
00:52:46,721 --> 00:52:54,401
So, like, if you decide I don't want this page to really be like active right now, then you can kind of toggle it off.

530
00:52:54,401 --> 00:53:01,211
So that's an option as well. Let's see if there are any other different ones.

531
00:53:01,211 --> 00:53:06,671
You can just view a page and look at it and you can also delete a page.

532
00:53:06,671 --> 00:53:14,171
So the way you manage your pages and your navigation is basically all here in this little pages tab area.

533
00:53:14,171 --> 00:53:17,471
And then if we want to add a page, we can click here.

534
00:53:17,471 --> 00:53:26,231
And of course, we know we can also click and drag to rearrange these how we want we can put things under home or not or whatever.

535
00:53:26,231 --> 00:53:32,801
So those are all sort of the different changes. We kind of talked about integrations already.

536
00:53:32,801 --> 00:53:36,581
And we talked about themes already. We can change themes.

537
00:53:36,581 --> 00:53:43,301
You already went through the settings. So let's go down here to site Y and see what else is done here.

538
00:53:43,301 --> 00:53:48,881
OK. So the fame comes with certain color schemes.

539
00:53:48,881 --> 00:53:55,601
But you can oh, here's where you could, like, change the font throughout, I guess, Alex, you know,

540
00:53:55,601 --> 00:54:02,861
maybe like if you decided, hey, I'm with this whole sname to use a different font style.

541
00:54:02,861 --> 00:54:10,991
I'm thinking that a do or like portfolio sometimes maybe you change it all here, but sometimes you do have to change it page by page.

542
00:54:10,991 --> 00:54:18,521
Yeah. Yeah. Kind of funky sometimes. Maybe it depends on like the type of page it is or something, you know.

543
00:54:18,521 --> 00:54:22,931
Nyasha. Yeah. But there is an option to add fonts here.

544
00:54:22,931 --> 00:54:32,951
So it looks like we could go and get more if we wanted to and really customize it because this is letting us go to a dummy font.

545
00:54:32,951 --> 00:54:38,831
So it looks like we could do that if we wanted to. So that's that's interesting.

546
00:54:38,831 --> 00:54:45,711
Yeah. And it looks like you could also make your background of your site a picture.

547
00:54:45,711 --> 00:54:48,401
So, you know, that might be kind of a cool thing to do.

548
00:54:48,401 --> 00:54:55,781
You have to be careful not to make your site too busy, you know, make it you want to make sure it's readable soon.

549
00:54:55,781 --> 00:55:00,401
But that could that could be cool. So you have some different colors to choose from here.

550
00:55:00,401 --> 00:55:05,501
Oh, and then we can it looks like we can select even a background color and make it different.

551
00:55:05,501 --> 00:55:10,751
We wouldn't want that. It would be awful. Something like this.

552
00:55:10,751 --> 00:55:16,571
So that might be a cool way to change of the themes to your portfolio pretty

553
00:55:16,571 --> 00:55:20,401
quickly would be like changing some of the background colors and things like that,

554
00:55:20,401 --> 00:55:26,081
you know? And then, of course, we would have to update the website to see what that looks like.

555
00:55:26,081 --> 00:55:33,041
So we have some more options there, which is nice.

556
00:55:33,041 --> 00:55:37,871
Some of them, yeah, we talked about so have the logo that you can do.

557
00:55:37,871 --> 00:55:46,481
And then you can put you can decide where that you can kind of decide where the logo is and things like that,

558
00:55:46,481 --> 00:55:53,171
because some of these some of these themes have a spot for a logo, which is this right here is just my name right now.

559
00:55:53,171 --> 00:55:56,381
And some of them don't. So that's the trick with that.

560
00:55:56,381 --> 00:56:03,551
So if you want something like a logo or you have a logo, you definitely want to pick a theme that's got that logo feature in it.

561
00:56:03,551 --> 00:56:09,691
So you want to check for that when you choose a theme? Let's see what else.

562
00:56:09,691 --> 00:56:14,671
And then, oh, this is how you can kind of help customize the navigation.

563
00:56:14,671 --> 00:56:18,511
So these are some ways you can customize the navigation if you want to.

564
00:56:18,511 --> 00:56:26,551
And then you can decide if you want to foot or if you the one footer or and if you want your social icons to be in your footer,

565
00:56:26,551 --> 00:56:34,471
then you can then you can decide if you want that to be the case. Oh, and then this page, we were editing the home page.

566
00:56:34,471 --> 00:56:39,691
And then this page, you can do all the same things to this page as what it looks like.

567
00:56:39,691 --> 00:56:45,731
So, yeah. So that is pretty much the features of portfolio.

568
00:56:45,731 --> 00:56:49,831
Looks like this can go to. Oh, this is just reminding me. What account am I at.

569
00:56:49,831 --> 00:56:59,371
Yeah. So that is helpful. And then if there's any updates and then add pages, those here and then back home to here, I can show you one other one.

570
00:56:59,371 --> 00:57:03,661
That's a little bit. A little bit more done.

571
00:57:03,661 --> 00:57:09,931
That one was really a sample is playing around with. So here's something else you can do it integrate with Spark.

572
00:57:09,931 --> 00:57:19,621
So sort of. So what I do for mine, because I use a lot of spark pages for my presentations is these are images.

573
00:57:19,621 --> 00:57:26,251
And then the image you click, this goes to an image in the of Rush and then you click the click the image

574
00:57:26,251 --> 00:57:31,261
and it goes to a spark page because you can hyperlink an image in portfolio.

575
00:57:31,261 --> 00:57:34,591
So think about that. You can hyperlink any image you want to, whatever link you want.

576
00:57:34,591 --> 00:57:40,381
Right. So that's another way. So if you have other sites, are you going to link to external sites and stuff like that?

577
00:57:40,381 --> 00:57:48,271
That's another way you can expand your portfolio. So this goes to the premiere rush, you know, presentation page.

578
00:57:48,271 --> 00:57:53,851
And so the idea is I would have all the workshop stuff in here. But of course, I haven't worked on it that much.

579
00:57:53,851 --> 00:58:03,881
And then we can. This is these are sample Lightroom albums that I had brought in, you know, and just kind of makes it so we can preview maybe.

580
00:58:03,881 --> 00:58:07,321
And just see what it looks like. So pretty neat.

581
00:58:07,321 --> 00:58:14,221
Nice and neat. I wanted all of this stuff to show up. So I forced the navigation, you know, to show up properly and that kind of thing.

582
00:58:14,221 --> 00:58:19,021
And then there's a contact page here, you know, with the.

583
00:58:19,021 --> 00:58:23,341
And then I put everything on the contact page as far as contact and social media.

584
00:58:23,341 --> 00:58:31,651
And then here's an example of the splash page. So you can create a splash page like this and see you can just type in some little text.

585
00:58:31,651 --> 00:58:40,511
And then you can make this button go to your gallery. So that's that's another option as far as setting up your, you know, your portfolio.

586
00:58:40,511 --> 00:58:45,681
OK. So we'll go back. To our page here.

587
00:58:45,681 --> 00:58:53,751
So that is really the essence of Adobe portfolio, so hopefully that gives you guys kind of a nice overview.

588
00:58:53,751 --> 00:59:02,041
We're happy to maybe we'll stay on for a few more minutes and see if anybody's got some questions or anything.

589
00:59:02,041 --> 00:59:07,761
But we're very glad that you all came today. And we're checking out Adobe portfolio.

590
00:59:07,761 --> 00:59:12,736
