Would you add an archive / pitch / etc section to show maybe decent top shit that clients didn't want and old stuff you did a few years back.

Yes. I would PW protect it though. If it is / was a pitch.

old pitch shit that didn't make it so not bothered if its seen.

as long as it is clearly marked as pitch and the assets used were signed off.... yeah, sure. pitch work is often much nicer than the stuff clients fuck up anyway.

You can also be vague and say "concept for..." or "style boards for..."
Almost give the impression that they did something for yours, this piece was just another option.

man if you made it and you like it put it up there, i support the idea of a PW area for more specific clients

good stuff.

why a separate section? just say it's a concept.

I often show the version I liked best if the client didn't go for it. to me a portfolio is about your design sensibility, not your client's tastes

and then you can't use it on another client... just sayin'

Many famous designers do this. Do you want to be famous?

You could do a "before & after" show the initial creative you did, then show the final version where the clients taken all the best parts out and pissed all over it with their creative input.
