- excerpt from Flaunt on portfolio compositionherzo
- i am a product designer, i design collections that have 25+ individual pieces in them..e-pill
- i need to showcase at least 1 page of the collection and some pages to showcase them.e-pill
- if i only show 10 by this standard i will lose the job. this may work for digital.e-pill
- not for product design. this mindset of a limited view well it is limited..e-pill
- the interviews i go on currently all are for 6 figure salaries.. 10 pieces.. wont get you that..e-pill
- all i am saying is when you evolve your career, think about that limited number n raise it.e-pill
- just as you want your salary raised, show case more of your work to get it.. good luck!!e-pill
- thanks for your advice epill, but the advice I am giving to OP is for people on our level. IF they are making fake projects do you even think they have 10 good pieces to scrape together a book?herzo
- telling kids who haven't even gotten their first job and don't have a book to get one that they need a 100+pages is not really helpful. since I am on step ahead of them I think my advice is relevant being that i have gotten two jobs since I have graduated.herzo
- im not knocking your statement.. just saying a limited portfolio is just that..e-pill
- but a fake project is just as good as any real one so to knock that is only failure for me.e-pill
- think about that one for a little..e-pill
- e-pill I understand what you are saying and appreciate your advice. I think there is a misunderstanding. I am not knocking so much fake projects but the percentage of content they would compose within a portfolio.herzo
