Industry Experts

Posted on: September 9, 2005

Industry Experts are working artists and media professionals we've lined up to give you practical advice on building and showing a portfolio in your field. Whether you're putting together a final portfolio presentation or just trying to decide what you could possibly show, a session with an industry expert will prove helpful.

Questions for your industry expert:

• What does a portfolio in my field look like?
• What format(s) do I need to be able to show my work in? (web, pdf, print, reel, etc.)
• How long should my portfolio be? or how many pieces should be in it?
• Is what I have now good enough right now to find work?
• What parts of my portfolio need more work?
• How do I get my portfolio in front of people in my field?
