Can someone clarify what qualifies as a case study? Is this work you strategically developed and pitched to a client whether it was chosen or not?

1.)Realize that your audience is a future client.
2.) Demonstrate you understood and executed a past client’s demands based on their apriori concerns, goals and hopes using the metrics they created for you.
3.) Demonstrate how you met/exceeded those demands/metrics and can do the same for this prospective future client.
4.) Tell them how they can contact you.

From a design perspective it’s usually logo, color system and design application with a short blurb on the business problem. Basically an understanding of the issue and how you created a successful and versatile system across comms.

A case study’s goal is to demonstrate your thinking around the problem, not just how good of an artist you are.

Anyone can mock a sexy dribbble design. But that says nothing about you as a designer. Design is about problem solving.

How did you solve business problems (operational or aesthetic problems) in said project? Rather than just focusing on how good your folio looks, establish what attributes you want the reader to know about you after they leave your site. Use case studies to align you closer to your long term professional goals. (Expert, craftsmanship, systems thinking, elegance, etc)

Does the recruiter typically wait for all candidates to finish their onsites before communicating a decision? Or if I haven’t heard back yet, it’s probably a reject?

Everything we want costs $620k+ and bc of rates it makes our mortgage estimates $3500+. We are currently paying $2k. And it looks we need to sell the house simultaneously as look for a new one or our contingency isn’t as attractive. I know it’s based on personal circumstances.

Asking creatives to work on a project with lots of award potential but minimal budget/billable time allocations. So the majority of the work would be done on personal time.
