So this article may not tell you a lot of obvious tips you may know, but many forget the basics when it comes to portfolio design and get hung up on the details. Here’s a summary:
The Right Type-. A different presentation is appropriate for each person, each situation and each interview. Prepare according for the situation; there is no right way to do a portfolio.
Skills-The pages in your book must demonstrate that you can quickly and effectively communicate complex ideas in a professional manner. Excellent, interesting and varied compositions are expected. Dramatic use of scale, focus and color will make your work stand out. Make an effort to communicate your level of skill with a wide variety of tools typical for your chosen field.
Range-This lets the reviewer know that you are flexible and can work in a variety of situations.
Ambition- Self-driven projects are great examples of this
That Something Special- To rise above the rest and truly stand out in an extremely competitive field, your work needs to go the extra mile
