FATP

Form: (How: Website, Slideshow, Video, Essay, Letter, etc.)
Audience: (Who are they/When or the context/Where are they from)
Topic: (What: content or themes)
Purpose: (Why: To entertain, inform, sell, persuade, etc.)

In setting up my e-portfolio website I needed to do a bit of brainstorming about the purpose and topic of my site. I will be using the FATP method to look at form, audience, topic and purpose.

The form is through a website, with different pages that mirror information like a resume such as education, work experience, skills and career goals. These pages are all linked to the home page in the sidebar.

The audience would be potential employers, class professors and colleagues. These audiences can be related to education, prospective jobs and potential employers that could be located across the country or really anywhere in the world since this information will be posted on the web..

My topic, or these, is to present all of the professional information about myself as well as learned skills, participation in the college community and career goals and objectives.

The main purpose of this website it to help practice my skills on developing websites, practicing hyperlinks, video embedding and linking this website to all of my other internet participation such as my class blog, LinkedIn account, twitter feed and any other website i sign up for in this class that will be used to display skills in web communication. I want this website to inform the audience of my skills and job interests as well as sell myself as a potential candidate for job opportunities.
