To become a Provisional RGD Member, new Members have a portfolio review. Below some of our Reviewers share insights on the Portfolio Reviews!
Advice for Reviewees
- Patryk Adamczyk RGD, Senior Product Design Manager, McAfee
"Share unforseen hurdles or speed bumps and how you overcame them for some applicable key pieces."
- Trevor Ingall RGD, Founder & Creative Director, Ingall
"It helps to know that you're taking in the feedback if you echo what I said instead of nodding and blindly agreeing. Having a dialogue is the goal and shows that you're engaged in a discussion."
"Be prepared to talk about much more than the technical aspects of what you're presenting. Explain what your inspiration was and how you progressed from the concept through to the finished work."
- Robin Honey RGD, Senior Freelance & Brand Strategist
"Only put your best work in your portfolio. Less is often more. If there is a project you aren’t 100% proud of or you aren’t confident in your answers, it will be obvious to your reviewer. Projects you are passionate about will leave the best impression. Your best work is not just the most impressive concepts on the page or screen, but the explanation you can give as to how you got there, what drove the design, the results of the project and most importantly - why you are proud of it and why you chose to include it in your portfolio."
- Michelle Wilkin RGD, Creative Director & Co-owner, Pilot Coffee Roasters
Questions you may be asked:
"If you had to redo this project and had half the time, what would you do differently?"
- Trevor Ingall RGD, Founder & Creative Director, Ingall
"What drove you to this profession?"
- Simone St. Aimee RGD, Art Director at TANK Worldwide
