I have made the decision to base my E-Portfolio activities around my love of the cyberpunk genre of media. It's all up from here!

One of the things that draws me so heavily to the genre of 'cyberpunk' media is the moody, dark yet beautiful appeal of it, visually. There is something so specific about this style of neon, technologically advanced yet completely dystopian and foreboding area of media that has such an undeniable charm to me. I've had a lot of fun searching for the coolest cyberpunk photos I could find on Pinterest to look back at and inspire myself lately, specifically searching for a versatile selection of different interpretations of the genre.

While Pocket was admittedly harder to navigate than Pinterest, I was still able to use it to fit my specific niche with this project. While I have decidedly chosen not to stick to rigidly to my e-portfolio's theme, I wanted to seek out a host of articles that have applications to the theme and it's relation to the real world, as well as my personal interest in the 'dark side' of technology. I complied a couple of articles that I felt were fitting enough and quite interesting to boot.

Well, I can decidedly say Pinterest. While I much appreciate the insightful, learning-based format of Pocket, I can also concur that I am quite the visually-stimulated social media user, as many of us are. Specifically in regards to this project, I found it definitively more interesting and enjoyable to browse through the various visual media on offer over on Pinterest rather than taking the risk on Pocket to read an article that could either be genuinely fascinating or genuinely sluggish. Maybe it's the 'instant grat' appeal of Pinterest, where all of the enjoyment exists within a quick look, but I personally am much more attracted to visual stimulants. Additionally, Pocket was definitely more difficult to navigate and had a less comprehensive interface, with a lot less content to offer. That said, the platform seems to be in it's beta/early stages, so I can only imagine it will grow immensely going forward.

For the map project, I decided to map some iconic locations across the island of Japan. Any big fan of cyberpunk recognises its roots in Japanese culture and heritage. It is a heavy influence for the genre and many of the iconic locations across the country have had deep visual and cultural inspirations on the branch of media. I'm a little bit of a Japanophile myself, it has always been a dream of mine to see the Tokyo Tower or Shibuya Crossing, and beyond those, Japan has many iconic landmarks and locations to name, perhaps too many to fit into my map.

For the video editing project, I decided to mess around with some iconic scenes and clips from some of the premiere pieces of Cyberpunk media, including clips from "Cyberpunk 2077" (Video Game), "Blade Runner" and "Ghost In The Shell". This was most definitely the most fun, explorative and interesting section of the E-Portfolio project yet, and was incredibly enjoyable to create.

Luckily enough, I had already made a LinkedIn profile previously, though I fleshed it out for the project by uploading my CV and adding some skills that demonstrate my niches and fortés.

I chose to rewrite the privacy policy for a newer social media app that has been growing in popularity: BeReal. The app sends a notification once per day wherein you and your friends must capture an image of exactly where and what you’re doing at that given moment, in order to “Be Real”. What I appreciate about the app to begin with is how safe, secure and less telegraphed it is compared to most of our largest social media apps. That said, its privacy policy is quite wordy and contains a lot of information that may be considered redundant to the reader. In this version, I’ve simplified much of the over-complicated wording, highlighted the sections regarding safety and data privacy and ensured that the policy is both easily understandable and all-encompassing.
