The purpose of a personal profile is to showcase your best work to an employer or higher education, this shows them what skills and talents you have in a visual and practical way. A personal profile should include class work, artisitic pieces, photographs and any other work which fits the job/course. The media profile should be suitable for the course or job you are applying for and show how you would fit the role best.  A portfolio assessment demonstrates learning over the course of time rather than what a student knows a particular day.This portfolio will be used along side your CV to help the employer decide if you are a good canditate. A CV is another form of personal profile often used when applying for jobs, this is used to showcase your achievements. A CV should include past achievements and experience, grades achieved, any out of school activities. It is important to showcase your work to perpective employer or higher education as they will need to see your capabilties.

For university interviews I was asked to provide a portfolio, this was to show them my capabilities and work i have previously done, they asked for either digital or physical portfolio. A digital portfolio is advantageous as it can be taken anywhere with ease, this is becuase it is online and so can be access from anywhere online. The easy access of an online/digital portfolio is also that you can edit it wherever so if you have to make changes you can. A disadvantge of this is that you may not be able to use content which was hand done, such as physical photography or art work, this can be scanned it but may loose effect or quaility when doing so. This is a disadvantage as you may not be able to include alot of your work and so the employer or university cannot see your full potential. Another advantage for a digital portfolio is that it can include video work, this is important if going for a film job or even a university interview as it can show your full length of work.

As part of my website i want to included photographs from photographers which inpire me, to stick to copyright laws i will clearly labeled and signposted where i got the photographs from and the photographer who took them. if i had not stuck to copyright laws my personal profile could have been taken down. All other content on the website is my own and so i did not need to reference where i got it from. 

When filming and photographing content uploaded to my website i ensured to gain full consent via consent forms from the locations and people involved, i also need informed them when uploading to the website to ensure it was acceptable to upload them online. By doing this is have stuck to IPSO guidlines of privacy, this is important as someone may not want their photographs online i am not allowed to upload them. 

All my own work is also labelled on my website, my website consists of the sixteenth trailer, Unplugged magazine and various photographs from my photography work. The trailer is used to promote The Sixteenth a mystery film, this post sticks to guidelines as it does not include any harmful or offensive language, this can offend a younger audience. My trailer also doesn't include any graphic scenes which may upset the audience, this is important an if reported it could get my website taken down.

My magazine pages also sticks to guidelines as the content for my body copy/text is not untrue or defamatory towards someone's reputation, this is important as I cannot publish content about my band/artist which is untrue, as it may damage the reputation of the artist. Also with text and imagery from my magazine I cannot promote drugs/alcohol/violence in my magazine as it could influence my audience and look unprofessional on my website. I had to ensure all the photographs were my own so that I do not breach copyright laws and if they were not my own I would have to clearly label this.

My photography work consist of photographs I have taken, all of these have been inspired by other photographers which is clearly stated under 'research and inspirations'. Through my photography work I have looked at women in the media and how they have been represented, because of this is may have used revealing clothes which could offend an audience, because of this I have chosen the most professional photographs to upload in order not to breach guidelines. Within 
my work I have used photographs which do not discriminate or offend people of different genders, age, ethnicity or culture which is important as this may upset the audience and make me look unprofessional.

Finally I have uploaded photographs from my Vintage Leather Bag campaign, this was to promote a local bag company. For this I created poster advertisements, all the content on this was taken and made my me, which Is important as it would not breach copyright laws. I also made sure the photographs and content in these promotional pieces did not offend the audience or discriminate against them.  

Within my work i have stuck to ethical guidelines as I have not discriminated or made fun of any certain gender, age or race, this also sticks to IPSO guidelines of discrimination, this is important as i have to make sure not to offend anyone with my work. I did this by no including offensive content about anyone
