It really depends, I mean, I'd always prided myself in being able to pull off whatever style/approach a client was looking for and my portfolio reflected that. In Canada that seemed to be a good thing, but then when I started interviewing in the netherlands and the uk studios began saying "yeah this is great, but what's really 'you' in your portfolio" naturally I'd reply with "all of it" not really knowing where they were coming from..
To generalize, I'd say that european studios are looking for someone that has a clear "approach" which doesn't always translate to a specific style, but does refer to a consistent methodology and sometimes does crystalize into a "style" but I would be hesitant to pigeon-hole things with that term...
- very nicely explanation.
Neue, do you think that beside your usual work you would need to have some "artish" work? Or?TomBac - not sure about 'artish' but personally my folio is about half non-client based works these days...neue75_bold
