Background: I went to school for animation/ film, worked in the gaming industry an a concept artist/ illustrator for 5-7 years before switching career/ position to a product designer due to lack of jobs in the bay. Have been working as a designer for the past 3 years— currently product designer & illustrator, but my portfolio/ website mostly consists of game art and recent designs. If I ever wanted to be noticed by fb, google, etc. how should I change my site? My main goal is to be a brand systems illustrator but I’m also open to product design or visual design. What would companies want to see on a portfolio?
Add relevant work to your portfolio. They don’t need to be “real.” Create concepts for ui, components and spec them out. Show your whole process story.
I feel kind of like a noob when it comes to the technical design terms I’ve seen fellow designers use during crit sessions or in their site. But I see what you’re saying.
Best way to get around feels no like a noob is to ask lots of questions. No one is going to think less of you
There are many place to showcase your portfolio if its worthy
Could you give me some examples? Besides Behance or dribbble?
Totally depends on what your goal is, happy to take a look if you want.
Yes!
I PMed you
