How many projects/pages do you think are good to have in a PDF portfolio when applying for jobs/opportunities?

- 4-5 projects, 20-25 pages total.
- @Aaron Collins I agree with this too. That’s the format I was taught in uni as well.
- 12 pages minimum for an image based portfolio. 4-5 for a mostly text portfolio. And I'd say 20-25 maximum for image based portfolio.
- I do not think there is 'one size fits all solution', but I would aim for 6 projects, with no more than 10 total. You can always include more projects upon request as you go farther in your interviews.
- I try and stick to10 projects and 20 slides max. I trim projects down just enough to tell a story, and then have an extended portfolio with the projects fleshed out incase they ask to see a little more.Advice I always went by (which is subjective) is start off with a strong project, put your weaker projects in the middle and finish on a strong note.
- I use 5-6 for emails and for presenting 10 slides. Hope that halps☺️
- Good question, I'd say about 5-6 projects, roughly 20-25 pages (including cover page) and no bigger than 10MB. Probably different for different roles
- I've been recommended not to exceed ten projects, and I've read the golden ratio is most often three or five, but it's not really set in stone!
