Kill your portfolio
12 Tips from Soon in Tokyo™
Who I am?
Figure out what you need
Your values
Your interests
What makes you Unique
Sport your strength and build your portfolio around it
Who are you trying to reach?
Identify your target
Find out as much as possible about it
Line Portfolio with your target
Try to find your own tone and style
Chatty?
Serious?
Friendly?
Fairly?
Fresh?
Minimal?
Don’t build claims or projects that do not reflect you
The best of the best. Or nothing
Use YOUR best work
Your portfolio is your best cover letter
The content is always more important than the container
Don’t «DECORATE» your portfolio, let the work SPEAK FOR ITSELF
Show your skills and measure your ambitions
Show what you are the best at
Let your target know which is your best skill and what is your goal
Do not innovate. Not today
Show all the steps of your project
Concept – Research – drawings – moodboards – Lookbook – Inspirational videos.
Remember! Document your projects from the start
Extra point for real work
Balance the academics with real stuff, start a real project, get a partner, work on something you like besides school projects
Show your contact information
Your name
Email
Phone
Website
Adress
You are a brand
Everything communicate - your clothes your attitude, your body language, your hair and make up
Your Portfolio is never finished
Kill your EGOFOLIO
BE YOUR OWN/BEST CRITIC
