  • excerpt from Flaunt on portfolio composition– herzo1/14

    i am a product designer, i design collections that have 25+ individual pieces in them..– e-pill2/14

    i need to showcase at least 1 page of the collection and some pages to showcase them.– e-pill3/14

    if i only show 10 by this standard i will lose the job. this may work for digital.– e-pill4/14

    not for product design. this mindset of a limited view well it is limited..– e-pill5/14

    the interviews i go on currently all are for 6 figure salaries.. 10 pieces.. wont get you that..– e-pill6/14

    all i am saying is when you evolve your career, think about that limited number n raise it.– e-pill7/14

    just as you want your salary raised, show case more of your work to get it.. good luck!!– e-pill8/14

    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?– herzo9/14

    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.– herzo10/14

    im not knocking your statement.. just saying a limited portfolio is just that..– e-pill11/14

    but a fake project is just as good as any real one so to knock that is only failure for me.– e-pill12/14

    think about that one for a little..– e-pill13/14

    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.– herzo14/14
