    Thanks for the video; very good points; in my case I have 3 years of work experience but I mostly work on multiple projects partially that I can't really say that the final result is an expression of my skills nor personality. Additionally we often end up following clients colors/material choices that we don't really approve.

    What if you’re not proud of none of your projects and they all look mediocre then what?

    • @aandreatru
      @aandreatru  Год назад +9

      Lol this was me too! What I did I was slowly fixing them up or adding new projects and taking out the bad ones, I was taking my time so that I liked to final results (patience is key) a good portfolio can take you 6 months at the minimum to put together, it’s a slow process for sure, I also watched a lot of RUclips videos on how to have a nice layout because the content is not all that matters by also the way you organize it can make or break your portfolio. Even today I don’t love my portfolio so I am still refining it when I have time, good luck

    • @Alkisti20
      @Alkisti20 8 месяцев назад +1

      "Minimum 6 months".... I am creating the portfolio 6 years!!! It still looks mediocre!!! But yes, it's exactly as you say... The job can be good, but how you showcase it it can make or break the portfolio. I see hundreds of mediocre work presented in a super perfect way and I m so jealous. I have quite a few very good projects and the presentation of them sucks. And one major problem is that throughout the years I forget to save the right files that would create a complete presentation... I end up with the final photos of the completed project and I have lost all the files of the process, all floorplans, all the work... I suck my friend! Hahahahah

    • @Alkisti20
      @Alkisti20 8 месяцев назад

      I hope Andrea Tru will answer you too, but since I saw your comment I would like to answer as well.
      This is a question I have for years!
      Right now I have both. Spaces that I designed and my plans were implemented and I have real final photos of the result. And projects were I delivered 3Ds of the engineer's plans and I just worked on the visualization of the design and I never received photos of the final space, and projects where I delivered a design proposal with 2D and 3D plans but the client didn't proceed to implementation. I suppose that I should showcase everything.
      But when I open Behance e.g. and I type "interior design" all portfolios are 3D visualizations!!! There are no real spaces portfolios!!! And I never understood if my portfolio should be like this or with real photos! Because honestly, I don't sell my 3D visualization skills. I sell my "design thinking". So I don't know what I should showcase!!!
      Thank you for reminding me that question! I hope Andrea will answer us one day!

    • @aandreatru
      @aandreatru  8 месяцев назад

      A mix is good! If you have real projects definetely add them, but make sure the photos of those projects are good quality and look professional :) if the digital one looks better then I would keep the digital for the portfolio but you still want to make clear which projects are real life projects and which are educational projects (so make a note somewhere) hope that helps

    Hi Andrea! Thank you so much for your useful advices and tips in this video. I am looking for a job as interior designer in USA. I wasn’t born there and had degree in Eastern Europe but I have transferred it through the evaluation process and it is equivalent to US bachelor degree. I created my portfolio and resume in one style. I wonder if you would be able to take a look and maybe give me a feedback. That would be so helpful! Unfortunately, I don’t have anyone related to that filed here to help me out. I’ve done a big research prior making the portfolio though. I think you have a really great viewpoint!

    This was a very helpful video! Thank you for making this. I'd just like to ask if it's okay for my portfolio to consist only of digitally made projects. Plans that were done in Autocad and perspective renders done in Sketchup instead of drafts done manually and traditionally made renders. Thank you in advance!

    • @aandreatru

    • @aandreatru
      @aandreatru  7 месяцев назад

      If you are familiar with cad software I would recommend you include some cad work (probably you can create your own projects just for showing it in the portfolio), but if you are just starting to build a portfolio, slowly over time you can modify it and and meanwhile you can use your hand-drawn work. Remember your portfolio is a work in progress so as you learn more skills, make sure you update your portfolio to show those skills. Hope it helps :)

    • @aandreatru
      @aandreatru  2 года назад +1

      I would say you are in very good timing. It depends on how many projects you need for the portfolio, and how much time you put on every day towards your portfolio, but if you work on it consistently you may be able to put it together in a year. Again, it depends on so many more factors (how fast you work, how many projects, if you have any projects ready) but I am just thinking of how much it would take me to create one from scratch.

      If you have real projects definitely add them! But make sure that the photos are good quality and they look professional. If you don’t have real projects yet that’s okay, you can add the renderings only, and again, make sure the quality is good and you are showcasing your design solutions.
