A portfolio is one of the most important things to perfect for those working in a\u00a0creative industry. Trying to decide what to include can be daunting. How many pieces? How many different mediums, and in what format? With the Internet acting as a potential first impression for employers, should artists tweak their social medias accordingly?\u00a0<\/p>\n
In this GDC 2017\u00a0session industry artists Greg Foertsch, Alison Kelly, Wyeth Johnson, Lisette Titre-Montgomery, Shawn Robertson and Gavin Goulden\u00a0discuss what can make or break a creative portfolio. They offer advice on what artists should\u00a0include in order to catch the attention of future employers, as well as how to present themselves online in-between posting their creations.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The\u00a0talk goes over crucial topics every artist should consider when putting together their portfolio. For example, Foertsch\u00a0guides the conversation and asks\u00a0artists to consider quality over quantity\u00a0when picking out work. “Your portfolio is only as strong as the weakest piece in it,” adds Johnson.\u00a0<\/p>\n
