Business idea and my research.

The business idea is an online portfolio site for Ravensbourne. The idea was Carlos Gutierrez. The aim of this is to show case Ravensbourne students work. We would like to have the Ravensbourne logo on it so that we can be associated with the institution thereby gaining traffic from creative industries. And with the college's links and highly regarded name, we hope to use this to our advantage.

My role for this project along with Tara Dulake is market research. Who are our competitors? How can we distinguish ourselves from them? Thereby making ourselves unique.

My research has found quite few competitors which makes it harder to distinguish ourselves from them. These are the sites that I have found:
