Sorry had this done, just forgot to publish it.
I think my only audience is Dr. Wible and the graduates judging my poster and portfolio at the end of the semester. I expect they will want to see a variety of documents that display my diverse knowledge and ability to produce professional-looking documents to represent myself and my company/boss. My audience wants to be proud of yet another English student to complete the work from West Virginia University. I could see my portfolio (if deemed acceptable and excellent) being used as an example to future students. My capstone is not the typical one when it comes to professional writing and editing, but I feel it's just one of the many choices given to English students besides the obvious career choice of teaching. I believe my web portfolio will need to demonstrate the same qualities, tones, and ideas as my hard copy portfolio. Especially with everything going cyber and electronic now, my work will need to display WVU's ability to keep up with new technologies and protocols for capstone portfolios. I don't think the audience will want to see anything too personal such as pictures of my dogs or my trip to Italy. I don't think they will want to have my values and morals pushed on them through my portfolio. I would like the audience to think I am a multi-talented writer, editor, and designer (when it comes to layout of the documents). I want them to feel comfortable putting me into any writing situation or trust my insight and ideas.

Great work here -- you've done a nice job thinking about not only your audience but how this audience's interests and needs can and should influence your decisions about materials to include and the kind of "presentation" to make about your abilities and your experience.
