I’m an aspiring art director and working on my portfolio for junior gigs/ internships. For each project in my portfolio I create 2/3 executions over platforms for instance TVC/Social/ print. There’s one project I created recently for a comp I didn’t win, but thought it would be good to include anyway. However, it’s only a poster design for the brief ( I created 3 poster variations). Should I include this in my portfolio as a single project or create an area more for short briefs/graphic design?

Make a big “random cool stuff” bucket you can put all that stuff into.

Yes, include what you feel best represents your ability, not everything has to be a campaign.

Out of curiosity how are you including TVC’s? I wouldn’t expect to see that in a jr book.

like

Great advise thank you!

None is this is work that has be made fo real, just briefs I’ve created myself or from comps, for TVCs I just include storyboards.

Agree with UXD1. Create a section with random work you consider worth showing. I always think it’s weird when a whole page is dedicated to a project that only has one or two executions in it. Just doesn’t feel finished.

Yes that’s the thing! Any idea what I should call this section?
