Can anyone give me some feedback on my portfolio/website? I’m in the process of looking for another job and would like to hear what other professionals have to say.

What role are you after? It's best to tailor the portfolio to what you want to do than sharing everything you've done. 3 great pieces are better than a dozen average pieces.

There's a lot more specializations than meets the eye. What I can tell you is that it will be a struggle to find a good position with the work on your site. At the moment it looks more junior than most senior design portfolios I've seen.

I would definitely revamp those projects to be more modern, do some research on current design trends and go from there! I think right now boldness and bright colors are really in tendency so I would start there. I would also definitely expand them; for instance instead of one poster maybe have a line of cohesive posters that go together. Same with the Annie’s project update it a bit so it’s more in line with todays trends, maybe even add new flavors to it. I know it might sound a bit overwhelming but don’t give up, take it one project at a time and keep asking for advice!

Hello Everyone,
I’m was trying to help some of our secondary RSP teachers determine what they can do with their student’s during LAB/ Study Skills Class.
Some of my ideas included:
Work on incomplete classwork or homework, work on goals, study for test and quizzes, work on projects, goal setting for the next semester, organize google classroom assignments or practice for the state exams. If they are other ideas I would love to hear them! Thanks everyone

NDAs for Nannies? I was wondering how everyone who is doing some work from home during covid handles in-house caregivers? Obviously we all take all steps to protect confidential information and realistically a caregiver isn't going to be exposed to anything we do, but does anyone require an NDA just to be on the safe side? (I dont have an in home caregiver yet, but just thinking about it.)

I got turned down for three mid level design positions. I don’t know if it’s because my last position was as an art director and they’re just confused or if I seem not as enthusiastic about the role as I should be but it’s definitely disheartening because I’m unemployed and I need to get back to work. I have since decided to focus more on senior designer and Art Director roles at a higher rate and will go from there.
