You Are Making a Critical Mistake With Your Portfolio
Often as creative professionals, we invest tons of effort and time into client projects but often don't put that same effort when it comes to displaying our work.
Clients will only take you as seriously as you take your portfolio. Creating good work is one thing but being able to present your work in a way that communicates value is the skill that separates amateur designers from professionals.
In this course I get completely transparent and communicate where I have failed and walk through how to avoid these pitfalls and leap ahead toward one of the most overlooked areas for creatives, their portfolio.
Look forward to tips, examples from real client projects, case studies, and live reviews.
“The best work always rises to the top of Behance. If you are going to produce your best work, you have to be committed to investing the time and energy to display your skills.”
- Chris Do, Founder of Blind & The Futur
The Designer's Cure for Imposter Syndrome
Your phone vibrates, a notification indicates you just received a new email. You open the email and read one of your passed clients just accepted a new job at Nike, and they want to add you to the list of the company's roster of approved designers.
Once on this roster, your portfolio will be shown to the leaders of the company and will determine whether or not they move forward with awarding you full creative control over one of their marketing campaigns which includes a massive payday.
Are you confident that your current portfolio would be good enough to stand on its own? How do you know what elements to include to ensure you are best communicating your value?
The scenario above happens every single day, but perhaps you are skipped over because your work is not in the proper context.
You need a proven framework.
