Recently I came across two really good pieces of advice regarding portfolios. First one comes from Ty Carter (designer at Blue Sky Studios) blog. He shares a lot of his knowledge of how to make a portfolio that will be appealing to the employer and includes few examples of his own work.
Second piece is by Jon Schindette and was posted on The Art Order website. It tackles a very important issue of maintaining number of portfolios and breaking into the industry. Many people create too many portfolios on many different sites and then fail on keeping them all organized and up to date. Chasing after the best opportunities and pushing too much too go viral can be bad for your career. Internet is a wonderful place for networking and getting new contacts but mixing a personal Facebook account with the professional one doesn't leave good impression. Jon shares few tips and it's a really good read.
