Apparently today is #PortfolioDay. I don't normally use this Twitter handle for my art but today I figure "hey, why not?" So, here's a🧵

Sometimes I do fanart... 1/

Sometimes I do other digital art (the first was a study based on a photo, the web source for which has since been taken down)... 2/

Sometimes I do vector illustration, often as a part of my graphic design work to create promotional pieces. This was used on the poster for a theatre production... 3/

I recently saw some artist’s resumes that looked nice yet they lacked so much information that they stop artists from being considered for a position. I want to share how to make a good resume that could apply to any artist + I made some visuals!
#PortfolioDay #artjobs 🧵

First and most important thing: resist the urge to over design your resume. Resumes get filtered by software & it must be clean and simple for the software to read it. If your resume can't be read by software you will get put in the reject pile before a human even looks at you.

This means just go down in a linear fashion. Create your resume in a word processor, not Photoshop. This way you can easily export as a .docx or .pdf and easily edit it later, which you will need to. It needs to be easy to read, easy to print, easy for software to read

Although the aesthetics and payouts may not be on level #PortfolioDay with the rest of the collection, it is nonetheless deserving of your attention because it created the mechanics that we all adore #MotherlandFortSalem.

Its position at the top of the list is also due to the fact that it is the cleanest example of this genre of game. You have a wild, a treasure chest, and scatters that start a round of unrestricted.

“A good portfolio can make the difference between months of radio silence, or winning that client.”

Having viewed hundreds of portfolios, @michalmalewicz has plenty of tips to improve yours. So this #PortfolioDay, we’re handing him the mic 🎤

1⃣ Include at least 3 projects ✅

“Aim to include at least three projects in your portfolio, but ideally around five to show some variety in your work.

But don’t go too far! Adding too many examples of your work might be a little overwhelming for recruiters.” 😓

2⃣ Show some variety ⚡️

“It’s a good idea to include a mix of different projects. I’d suggest a couple of app designs, one or two websites, and then something a little bit unusual that will make you stand out.” 🙌

It’s #PortfolioDay!!
My name is Dhir Jakharia, an 18 year old wildlife photographer based in Kenya.
Here’s my story…

1/
As a child I had always dreamt of becoming a footballer. (Soccer) My passion for football was CRAZY; I spent hours and hours everyday playing around the house. I even used to dream about playing for a professional club one day.

2/
As I turned 16, it was time to decide. I did have an option to ‘try’ playing at a football school in the UK. However, after a lot of thinking, I decided not to do it.
It’s not like I ‘gave up’ on my dream, but I just realized that I was simply a very passionate football fan.

@LaurenWalshArt

Since it's #PortfolioDay lets talk about how to build a portfolio if you want to become a professional illustrator.

🧵

1. Tailor your portfolio to the client.
You need to have some direction to you portfolio. Just having a collection of well rendered heads very rarely gets you hired. If you have a goal to work for X client you need to create work that emulates work X client already produces.

2. Fan art is ok!
Fan art has become a driving force of engagement online. Creating fan art of your dream client may help you get noticed by them. I've gotten work this way MULTIPLE times now. The only caveat is it usually needs to fit your dream client's style as well.

This was one of the last animations that I created personally. Nowadays I manage a large team of artists. We're one of the biggest and best Spine studios in the world! Shoot me a DM if you need some high quality 2D animation in your games!
#PortfolioDay #MadeWithSpine

My team actually animated over 300 characters for Indivisible! We did almost all the NPCs as well as some playable characters and bosses. The folks at LabZero were GREAT to work with. I wish them the best as they move on at Future Club.

@StudioYotta

going through 150+ portfolios from last week's @StudioYotta applications. since it's apparently #portfolioday , i figured i'd take some time to write down some advice on my mind for people who want to work in animation. (really long thread within)

first off, there are some great applicants this time around. i remember when there was a time way back where i used to complain about the fact that i could hardly ever accept people from our recruitment callouts. we've come a long way, and i'm equal parts grateful and proud.

usually though, the majority of applicants in our recruitment waves fall short of what we need. yes, we are a very picky studio — but when it comes to our more entry-level roles, we are not looking for God-tier animators. we are looking for skills that every animator should know.
