Creating a Good Portfolio.
A good portfolio will present the best of your work while communicating a specific message about what and who you are.
It is important to keep your portfolio somewhat basic. It is possible to go overkill even if it is all very good work. Don't let your portfolio overshadow the work inside.
It is sometimes difficult to remain objective when evaluating your work but it is essential. Seek out the objective thoughts of others but don't be steered away from your instincts.
It is never a bad idea to have multiple portfolios. Possibly a potential employer would like to give it a closer look after an interview. Another option is to have multiple portfolios each catering to a different industry within design. I plan to have an online presence as well as a few spare thumb drives to eliminate this need.
