What is a portfolio?
A portfolio is a collection of your best work or piece you think represent your style and progress the most, it is helpful to have a range of styles and mediums if its an art portfolio or different skills if its for job applications.
Is a portfolio different depending on what part of Games, Animation or VFX I go into?
Yes, usually your portfolio will be more saturated with the skills you have developed the most, whether its 3D or 2D, or the software your most comfortable in. However its still important to show you can adapt and develop multiple skills to a decent standard
What do I need to produce in my own time to develop my portfolio further?
Experimentation is important to show multiple skills, and these pieces don’t need to be very impressive overall, its important to show the process, such as sketches or reverence to create a better understanding of your work process.
Can you provide a guide on the DO’S and DONT’S of a portfolio?
DO’s – Start with the work your most proud and interested in, so you can be recognized for the work you want to continue doing,
DONT’s – Don’t make it to word heavy, make sure to focus on showing your experience through projects you’ve done
