PPP: PORTFOLIO SURGERY

Today I had a portfolio surgery with Andy Lodge to gain some advice on how I can improve on it and skills for when talking to industry.

The meeting went really well, with some positive feedback on my future decisions to working abroad, to gain a bigger networking database. Also the presentation of my work on behance and cargo and my extended 'make shit mondays' blog.


Advice

  • Add branded guidelines for web or digital designs.
  • Include a QR code on printed work that has videos.
  • Embed videos to PDF's that you send to agencies.
  • A post of all your album art instead of just one post.
  • Focus on your cargo, it's more professional to send to agencies.
  • A3 presentation boards for your printed porfolio no codes on them.



To Do

  • Create a identity for myself e.g logo
  • Make printed branded stationary e.g business cards or a leaflet to give to agencies
  • Contact possible agencies
  • Have a break! (not my words)
  • Start uploading 3rd year work online!



Overall I think this meeting was really beneficial in helping me see where I am, and what I need to do to get to where I want to be. Andy gave me his business card if I need anymore advice or help which is also really beneficial for the future.
