Are creative portfolios just Google Slides decks now?

I’m getting sent more and more of them and think it’s kinda smart. This whole job is decks anyways.

Is it time to stop paying for Cargo? It certainly beats lugging A3 folios around.

Interesting… never seen any portfolio on google slides but tbh it sounds lame and lazy

It’s deffo more placement/junior teams

Some have been cool, some have been not so cool, but that’s how it is in any format

I think for placement to midweight teams this is great. Especially when portfolio sites plus domains can cost a couple hundred a year.

Feels lazy but maybe I'm just a dinosaur. I've got all my extra pieces of work that didn't make the portfolio in a Slides deck. The less sexy stuff that sometimes comes up in an interview and turns out to be relevant.

totally agree!

i also think the format a good demo of what you’re gonna be seeing every day at any level

My wife often calls me by 5:45/6 to ask where I am if I’m not headed home yet. Sometimes she’s stressed with kids/dogs/dinner and really wants me home. This really throws off my concentration because it makes me feel rushed. Like many practices sometimes I’m out at 5:30, other times it’s much later. Just depends and is unpredictable. Any advice on how to approach this?
