If you pay in beer, you get a drunk's website! lol No, that will prolly work with a school buddy.
There are two schools of thought about portfolio work. One is to show everything that meets a certain minimum level of quality. The portfolio will be big, which will impress some people. And people respond to the strangest things, so the more work you have, the better chance you have of impressing someone.
The other school of thought is to severely limit your portfolio to a few exceptionally good pieces, and leave everything else at home. The idea here is that you can concentrate people's attention on your best stuff, and they're less likely to be annoyed that you're taking up their time showing them too much crappy work. Of course, this leaves in place the idea that you might leave something the person would have really liked in you closet.
Both schools of thought have their adherents and successes. I usually go with the second one, since it's easier to present fewer pieces.
- Yeah... great points. I couldn't imagine presenting that much work... that would be like a 2+ hour interview.d_rek
