    hmm,,,, Tell them the contract is their-lawyer-friendly, but not creative-quality friendly.

    Risky to say it, but any designer who KNOWS they won't be able to use the work in their portfolio won't take the work as seriously.

    AND, portfolio is semi-standard industry practice as long as you're a freelancer, if it's a fulltime gig, with full benefits and a solid company, then that's when they can legitimately ask for this....

    Years ago, I know a woman who was a GREAT designer, but almost all her work was hidden behind a corporate intranet firewall, she didn't have the rights to show much of it, when the company laid her department off, it sucked for the designers there....

    • i wonder if it's OK to show this work via PDF-- so not to kill creative quality because it won't be in your online bookohhhhhsnap
