KMW Portfolio Site

KMW Portfolio Site  - student project

I'm using this class to help me develop my first portfolio site. I want something well-organized and beautiful.

Since this process is not habit for me, I wonder if I'm being descriptive enough.

Just beginning my wireframing process. I'm making UI elements in Illustrator. Will have to invest in Balsamiq or a similar program later.

Are there any references to help explain the idea of Tactics more? Would love to know. I did find one interesting site: http://www.ixd101.com/. It's a short but informative read.
