![]() Full-time working students might consider part-time enrollment to make the most of their education. If you plan to work while earning your degree, you may need to find an asynchronous program or one offering weekend or evening classes. ![]() ![]() In the interviews I’ve helped out with and have been in the hiring manager will always lean towards candidates that have a lot of work in what they need day to day.To find the right online graphic design program for you, think about how much time you can commit to your studies each week. Sorry for the flurry of comments I just felt like this is a concept not many people talk about with portfolios. They’re all design roles that require you to know them all but the main thing they might have to do is more important. The ratios of work will be 50% print, 30% presentation design, and 20% digital. Like for example if you’re applying to an industry that goes to a lot of trade shows and relies on a good sales team. So my best suggestion is to think about the industry you want to be in and see what ratios of work they will have you do. So in my portfolio I did have some print stuff but most of the work I showed was digital marketing materials and motion design. But I knew this when applying to this in-house role because the job description mentioned it. When being hired at this role they barely cared about the print work I was doing because that’s something we barely do. For example I work with the marketing department a lot at my current role and 70% of that is digital campaigns, 20% is motion and the last 10% is print. So if you have 6 projects have 3 of them be that type of work and the other 3 be short and sweet projects to show your range.Įven if you what to be a generalist a lot of jobs still have ratios and needs on what work you will be doing. Think of your portfolio in ratios and you want the biggest part of the ratio to be the work you want to get hired for. Overall I have these 6 projects to show off how I sell myself with my 3 focuses. This was to show off my illustration and animation skills. It was meant to show I can do complex’s motion graphics when needed.ĥth is a branding campaign for an imaginary tech company to show I can do boring corporate work.Ħth is a fast food rebrand with a social media and online ordering focus. It also shows how I can flex under everyday brand standards.Ĥth is a 30 second animation I created during an AE course. So I have it on desktop to animated mobile. It’s showing off how the digital assets I make go everywhere. The third one is just a snapshot of my everyday projects. I use this project to show I can handle those tier 3 level projects. The second project is a smaller campaign where I concepted the visual direction of the campaign but wasn’t the project lead. There is also a portion of where I show off results of the tier 2 campaign. I had a lot of leadership responsibilities in this project and I want to show off how I can handle pressure and be detail oriented. I have 1 big campaign project where I breakdown all the touch points and the different phases of the campaign. I’m currently in the digital design space, and my focuses are digital campaigns, motion and corporate identity. My best tip is to break it up by project and think of each project as a showcase of what problems you want to be hired to solve at your next job. Now if I structure my portfolio by company, there will be mostly old works on the main page and not much new and my current company page on it will be such a long ass page, but if i structure it by project type it will be pretty much the same company on the main page which im not keen on that idea either, anyway i hope this makes sense - if so how would you go about it. Most designer portfolios are either structured by project/company or structured by project type e.g. I have around 7 - 8 other projects aside from my current company position (most of which are quite old now) and about 1000 different types of projects working in house at the current company I’m at. I’ve got a Wordpress site set up, a few things are done but I can’t seem to figure out how to layout my work. It’s been great but it’s starting to get a little tedious and I’ve been getting around to doing my portfolio for a while now and now it’s starting to happen. So I’ve been working in-house for the same company now coming up 7 years.
