Je galérais à savoir quels projets inclure dans mon book et lesquels écarter. Ce cours m'a appris à raconter une histoire à travers mes réalisations plutôt que d'aligner des images sans logique. La méthode pour structurer chaque étude de cas autour du problème et de la solution a tout changé. J'ai refait mon portfolio en un week-end et décroché un entretien la semaine suivante. Vraiment un guide précieux pour tout créatif qui débute.

Als beginnend grafisch ontwerper had ik genoeg werk, maar geen idee hoe ik het moest presenteren. Deze cursus liet me stap voor stap zien hoe je een portfolio opbouwt rond een verhaal in plaats van willekeurig je mooiste plaatjes dumpen. De tips over welke projecten je juist weglaat waren een eyeopener. Ik heb mijn casestudies herschreven zodat ze mijn denkproces tonen. Binnen een maand werd ik uitgenodigd voor twee gesprekken. Een aanrader voor elke creatieve starter.
