I recently checked out a portfolio of someone I briefly worked with, put together with another freelancer as a team. We produced a few things together at the agency, which I saw in their book (but didn’t choose to put on my site), and my name was not in the credits on their site among the projects.

Yes. It’s not the end of the world, didn’t win any awards, but bothers me since other creatives were credited for the brand work and looks like they created all the work shown. Me ranting.

So put it in your work, if it bothers you so much. It’s their portfolio, you can’t force them to publicly name you.

Art Director 1: what are you even saying? The fact that work was made for an agency doesn’t mean credits for creatives aren’t important.

This happened to me last year. But the person took complete credit for a verbal identity, when really they assisted their manager on a side naming project that was associated with it. I hit them up and just kind of laid it all out there how I knew they were lying. I think cause we know a lot of the same ppl they added me quick as the person behind the words.

That’s the good thing about getting credit, via other portfolios, gives you exposure in an indirect way, when agencies check out books. I chose to not include certain type of media in my book because I prefer other type of projects.

In my case, that creative is far more ‘connected’ and having my name in their book, out there, could help me in this tough job market/industry. I could use all the help.

Glad your situation worked out.

How would I approach this when asked without pricing myself out of the position? Especially if they’re not willing to be upfront (assuming here) how much they’d want to offer me in particular.
