Tip for this crowd: fix your portfolio. That’s the post. I am seeing too many portfolios that are a dump of old work. Be selective, tell a story, and use current website tools to make it look great.

Agree. But it’s hard not for people to post a landfill when you get passed over b/c you only show work for say a chocolate bar and they’re looking for someone with “hard candy” experience 🙄”

The one great thing about this business is, no matter how massive the ego, everyone is eventually humbled and no one is spared.

I did this... it makes so much sense. I had some old work I was hanging on to and chucked it into ‘old stuff’ section. My site looks cleaner and more modern. I’ve seen a few sites with old crusty 4:3 stuff and it looks pretty lame. Unless you have ‘that’ ad in your book which everyone loves

Ps awww shit we are all ACDs on this 😂

Even old great stuff can be updated to be current... don’t throw away something great- just make the story in your book fresh!

Wow a condescending ECD, there’s something completely new.

If you feel I’m talking down to you, maybe you should consider getting up on my level.

Which current website tools do you suggest/recommend?

like

Depends. I like Cargo Collective personally- good templates, cheap, password protection.

If you’re doing an open, non-password protected site, I’d use Behance/Adobe Spark for the visibility. I also think Instagram is a great place for a portfolio site. But make a separate account for it.

I wouldn’t use the more e-commerce platforms like wix or squarespace but you could. They’re just way more than you need...

The biggest thing I keep running and running around my head- after 8 months, why did he drop me? When he texted ending it l….it wasn’t me, like we weren’t us, his words were from someone else, like I didn’t matter. It doesn’t matter how much it wasn’t about me, how he chose to end it, and that’s what crushed me. Who I thought I knew was wrong. I want to know how close he was to loving me.
