Here's the deal: my former employer, a design firm, is claiming they have exclusive self-promo rights to the work, and that while it's OK for me to show work I did in interviews, that I cannot show it on my website. But, since I never signed anything, I wonder if they would really have the legal right to come after me. I'll burn that bridge if I have to (though I'd rather not), but I really can't afford to be dragged into court... at the same time, without being able to show that work, the job hunting process becomes severely crippled. If I can't show work, I'm not sure how I can get work. BTW 90% of the work I was going to put on my website was done for this firm. Without it, there's not much point in having an online portfolio.
- how are you allowed to show it in person but not online. that seems fucking flimsy and arbitrary7point34
- Public vs. private? Who the hell knows. Thing is, these people haven't had to look for a design job in 20+ years.Scotch_Roman
- So they have no frame of reference for what's required these days, merely for one to get a foot in the door.Scotch_Roman
