In my mind when reviewing work I’d lose interest in your stuff cos it’s not transparent or organised well.
If there were 10 candidates and I needed 3 I’d pick the three best in terms of what they can offer in a real world scenario.
I can’t make that dissection with your work. Where its interesting, and good, that’s about it.
The way I see it, if you were going for intern role or junior position you are miles ahead.
But in junior position I want to see the spec and college work. I want to see where it all began.
If it’s for a mid level designer
I want to see real level work and a side of spec work and college work.
And for a senior design role I want to see high end actual work.
The way I see your portfolio being amended is to organise for a mid level position.
Your portfolio should start with
Actual work
I’d like to see what you’re capable of from brief to finished product.
Experimental work and interests
Be good to see what else you have to offer
And a side of the college work.
Finally see some of the college work almost as an appendix.
I do think your work is nice. That’s all.
But in terms of offering the job, I’d rather seeore organisation and presentation of the material.
If you understand where I’m coming from, you could well command mid level.
If you were going for senior roles I’d suggest only high end quality work, you wouldnt need experimental, perhaps as an index but it better be damn good.
And I wouldn’t want to see any college work.
In short.
You’re good. But organise and compartmentalize the designs to showcase positions going for.
If its graphic design , illustrator photographer, put those at the front matter.
If its graphic design and 3d and packaging out that as front matter.
But the lack of separating actual work, college work and experiments jars me a bit.
