You need more conceptual work. I don’t get a strategic insight or big idea from most of your pieces. If your agency doesn’t do that sort of work, then make some side projects or spec work that is more concept based

It's an interesting presentation of your projects. You're obviously talented. But I feel like I wasn't led straight to your client work. Which is why I would consider hiring you in the first place.

I agree with CW1. Seems like a designer’s book or basic social creative. Needs some big ideas in it

Thanks all for your feedback! I work at a traditional agency but I do a lot of animation/art direction for social as well. We’re almost done with a case study for a campaign launch I was on. Do you think that’ll help bring more conceptual work into my book?

Haha, I tried to crack that d&ad Amazon fresh brief also.

I'm thinking, there's no context for any of the work. Maybe a tiny write up could be good? No more than 2 sentences.
And there's not much campaigny work, as per previous commentators, but then you're also super junior, so stick around and see where your current gig takes you! You definitely got some fun and beautiful things in your book. Take them to the fun, beautiful and conceptually strong direction and you'll be good!

Agree with everyone above- you’re obviously talented, the layout is difficult to navigate especially on mobile. If you’re looking to flex your conceptual chops consider partnering with a writer- if you need to find a copy partner you can check out the fb group “make ads with me” it’s meant to help people find others to partner up with and build their books

Hey fishes, completed 3 tech rounds at Bosch.
Last tech + managerial round was on 10th Nov. Got HR call on 17th Nov. Told my expected package and she didn't seem to have any issue. On 22nd Nov, got a call from the consultant at taggd who has been arranging all my interviews. Told my expected CTC and she seemed a bit surprised but didn't negotiate and asked if I have any other offers? I asked when can I expected the OL, she said within a week but didn't take any documents. Can I expect the OL?

I see this question about how to display side projects often, so putting this out there for anyone who might find it useful:

There’s no such thing as side projects, in my eyes. Every project is an opportunity to display your creativity, and the few you’re most proud of make it to your book. Generally, the consensus these days is that we want our advertising to not look/feel like advertising. So, why should you be concerned to separate what was and wasn’t “advertising?”
