I would be grateful to hear feedback on my first Marketing Design Portfolio. Would someone be happy to help please?

I have created a PDF portfolio of some of the stand out designs I worked on at my in-house creative role, which I have just been made redundant from. It was my first dedicated creative role, so I needed to create my first portfolio to demonstrate my work. There is a lot of advice online as to how to best lay one out, but as I worked on a broad range of design media, both print and digital, I needed to produce something that worked for each application.

My portfolio is in PDF format, and I have uploaded JPEG's of the pages on to Behance. I do plan on creating a proper web version, but I am not as experienced on websites yet.

Would it be possible for someone who is an experienced graphic designer, or someone that recruits designers, to have a look and review my portfolio please? As it is my first, I am expecting there to be a number of obvious gaps.

The link to my online document is below.

Many thanks in advance.

  • @Erica Schifter thank you very much Erica. I think you’re right about potentially splitting it up so it’s more relevant, will look to do that over the next week. Appreciate your time.
  • Hi Phil, congratulations on putting your first folio together, a mammoth task for any creative!

    You certainly have a lot of work to show and it's great to have a broad range of projects in your folio, but in my experience it is best to keep your folio to 8-10 projects that you're really proud. This also makes the content easier for the person reviewing your folio to process.

    It can also be a good idea to tailor your folio for the job you're applying for (depending on if the role is more digitally focused vs print for example)

    Best of luck in your job search!
