I am a college photography student in search of a good (easy to use) program to construct my e-portfolio. I want to be able to burn this portfolio on a CD to mail to potential employers that would consist of thumbnails of my images and my resume. I need it to be able to work on Macs or PCs since I;m not sure what type of programming/systems they have.
Does anyone know of a program like this? I have considered using flash, or Adobe Golive, but I wanted to see if there was a more simple program out there to use.
Any suggestions?
If a slideshow will work, just use iPhoto. Make an album of your photographs and click the "organize" button, then click slideshow. It will output a Quicktime .mov file. Put a quicktime player for windows and mac on the CD and you're set. (But there's no next/previous button.)
Also in the organize section of iPhoto, you can push all your photos into iDVD and burn a DVD with a photo slideshow. Then you'd have a next/previous button with the drawback of higher cost per burn (50¢ instead of 20¢) and the recipient needs a DVD player.
If you want something completely dependable and straightforward, you can build a HTML website portfolio with relative links and burn that to a CD. Then the recipient only needs to double click your "start.html" file at the CD root and your portfolio runs from there. Plus, you have easy transportability to put your portfolio online.
There's some ideas to get you started. I bet there's some good third party approaches I'm not remembering. :)
