Anybody? 🥹😂

Are you trying to move into a traditional agency Art Director role or more of a design based role as Design Director? Your work is beautiful. My first piece of advice would be to move the write-up/concept to the top of each page. Your portfolio should give the viewers a glimpse into how you thought about each project.

I don’t have much advice for the Design Director route, but as a former designer who went the AD route I can give you a few pieces of advice that were given to me. Your portfolio reads as a design portfolio, not an AD portfolio. For AD, you’ll need fully fleshed out campaigns that also dive into the concept. So insight, concept, print, OOH, social, etc. Your portfolio is also missing motion. So light animation, social videos, etc. If this is the route you’re trying to go I’m happy to chat more, you can send me a DM.

Wow, thank you so much! This is very helpful.

I guess the dilemma I am having is what is the next step up from a senior designer position in an in-house design team scenario. Art Director? Design Director? ACD? I’m not sure how to frame my intention/goal.

And as far as flushing out my portfolio with motion. What if I simply don’t have any? It hasn’t been a skill I have worked in at all.
