How do you balance your best work vs recent work in your portfolio? My best campaign is 4 years old, but it’s still my favourite piece. Note: I would love to get your thoughts on how to reorder my book if anyone can help! Let me know if can DM you my site.

1. You can absolutely dm me and I’ll take a look

2. I’d say go with your best, but it depends how dated a project feels. Does the campaign clearly look old? Is it tied to a specific pop culture event from a previous year or is it something that could just as easily run today (or the pre-covid today at least.)? No need to tell me a project is four years old if I wouldn’t know by looking at it.

3. If every project in your book is 4+ years old that is a red flag. If your first project is but your second is brand new, I don’t think you have a problem

Thank you, DM’d

Additional Posts in Portfolio Review

So here's the deal: I've been in the industry for 8 years now—and I still feel my best work is my spec work. Is there a point at which it's simply no longer appropriate to show spec work in a book?

POV: you're an AD* looking for a copy (me) to build our portfolio together and work in... London?

DM:
1) if your seniority is mid/senior or you won an award (Lions, D&AD, One Show..)
2) 3 fav Cannes Lions 2022 campaigns*
3) 3 creatives you love
We create 3 campaigns before XMas and maybe in 2023 we'll start dream big!
Let's make 3 our magic number

* I ask just because if your work is focused on editorial design, that is a different field. I wish you like strategic thinking. Thank you, bye!
