What Is Your Portfolio's Controlling Metaphor?
The controlling metaphor of my portfolio is Dr. Seuss. Since I was much younger Dr. Seuss has always been a favorite author of mine. He not only creates a magical place for students to escape to, but many of his quotes continue to inspire me today. My favorite gift, one family member gave me, was his book 'Oh The Places You Will Go' with a written inscription telling me to never give up and to listen to the words of Dr. Seuss. The colors of my layout remind me of his 'The Cat In The Hat' book which is full of red, white, blue, and black making my portfolio feel like home to me.
