What's slowing me down.

I think my portfolio issues are similar to Ali's. I know what my metaphor and theme are, but I'm unsure as to how much I want to force that theme into my portfolio. I think the idea of a road trip will work well, so I guess it's just a matter of figuring out how much is too much when it comes to the metaphor.

I want each page of my portfolio to look basically the same. Other than the splash page, I'd like each page to have a graphic at the top or side, and the navigation link at the bottom. Going by the class requirements, I'm going to need four pages, which isn't really very many. I suppose things like the tutorial or the visual project could be spread out over more pages, but I think they'd still have to be based on one "stop" on the road trip.

I'm still trying to figure out a visual project. Right now, I have two ideas, one that would be very difficult to pull off, and the other simple, but I'm not sure how effective. Since my theme is a road trip, I'd like to do something about regional differences. I think I just came up with a very easy, very awesome idea. I'll mention it in class and maybe you guys can help me figure out a way to tie it together with everything else.
