I liked the session with Daniela Hatfield on the different types of portfolios. In college, having a diverse portfolio can make all the difference, whether you’re applying for internships, freelance opportunities, or preparing for a professional career. I usually get assistance with a portfolio from paperial experts after seeing the review as it isn’t just a collection of your best work’s a reflection of who you are and who your work is intended for. Just like how the session emphasizes creating physical and online portfolios, in college, it’s important to be versatile in how you present your work, adapting to the medium and audience. Whether it’s for an agency, a freelance project, or a class assignment, knowing the context of your audience helps you tailor your portfolio to get the response you’re looking for. As students, we should also be mindful of crediting collaborators, just as we’d expect when working on group projects or commissions, fostering both professionalism and respect in our creative community.
