tutorial with pat

We had a useful tutorial about our portfolios, what I got form it was:
- less is more in terms of amounts of work, we should have about 10-20 pieces of really good work in our portfolio
- there should be consistency interns of quality and content throughout
- I should have both a website portfolio and a print version
- I need to get a website, that way I can have several portfolios within it with different categories of work, and then keep my blog for WiP and current work with more description alongside it
- my website needs a statement which is reflective of my work and how the website works (how the work is organised)
- I need to have an image audit; order my images into relevant categories and take out ones that aren't as good

Print Portfolio:
- include different versions of a print (one in colour, one just line work, one more digital or hand crafted)
- show a range of application
- have prints no bigger than A3, for practical reasons
- decent printing quality is essential, thick paper that won't warp

Meetings:
- research the prospective client
- look at previous work they have commissioned so that I know what kind of work to bring in
- don't bring in examples of work that are irrelevant to the brief
- be honest about what I can't do e.g. type, ad say that I will need to work with someone who can
- before the meeting ask what the brief will be or for a creative steer in a direction of the type of work I will be producing so that I can alter my portfolio to fit that
