1 Too much or too little information

One of the most common mistakes is to include too much or too little information in your portfolio. Too much information can overwhelm the viewer and make your portfolio look cluttered and unfocused. Too little information can leave the viewer confused and uninterested. You want to strike a balance between showing your process, your vision, and your results. A good rule of thumb is to include a brief introduction, a summary of the project, a few key images or sketches, and a description of your role and responsibilities. You can also add some feedback or testimonials from your collaborators or clients if you have them.

Para produ??es de arte/educa??o é até válido colocar depoimentos de clientes, pois o resultado deve estar presente ali em escolas ou eventos de empresas. Para público em geral, nem sempre. No entanto, o clipping das matérias devem ser anexado ao portfolio (ao menos uma parte dele), pois traz credibilidade ao trabalho, mostrando que a produ??o teve repercuss?o na imprensa.

2 Poor quality images

Another mistake is to use poor quality images in your portfolio. Images are the most important element of your portfolio, as they showcase your visual skills and aesthetic sensibility. You want to use high-resolution images that are clear, sharp, and well-lit. You also want to use images that are relevant to the project and that highlight your design choices and solutions. Avoid using images that are blurry, pixelated, distorted, or poorly cropped. Also, avoid using images that are unrelated to the project or that show irrelevant details or distractions.

1) If the images you are trying to showcase are from screenshots or the FOH and are really blurry . The best ideal option is to crop them into a collage or be clever about the presentation. Add what is called Typography if you are any bit familiar with Adobe Photoshop you can used a technique called "clipping masks" if you add the chosen image over the text and you right click you see clipping masks . It will then take the form of the texts . You can play with this and add some nice visuals make a few keywords and save them all as PNG and align them to make a nice collage. 2) What I have done in the past is look for the Video recording of the show if that is available and pause the video at certain times for good screen grabs

Procurar a melhor imagem para o portfólio é essencial. Por isso é preciso fazer fotos e vídeos de todos os trabalhos para ter o que escolher de melhor para sua apresenta??o.

3 Inconsistent or inappropriate style

A third mistake is to use an inconsistent or inappropriate style in your portfolio. Style refers to the overall look and feel of your portfolio, including the layout, the fonts, the colors, and the graphics. You want to use a style that is consistent with your brand and your personality, but also appropriate for the type of project and the audience you are targeting. You want to use a style that is clean, simple, and easy to navigate, but also expressive, original, and engaging. Avoid using a style that is too busy, too plain, too flashy, or too generic.

às vezes, o básico é a melhor op??o, por se você n?o sabe como usar um programa de designer diferenciado, logo n?o vai conseguir levar o projeto de acordo com o tal programa. Ent?o cuidado com o excesso de cores e imagens para n?o prejudicar o conteúdo escrito que precisa ser mencionado.

4 Lack of context or explanation

A fourth mistake is to lack context or explanation in your portfolio. Context and explanation are essential to help the viewer understand your design decisions and your creative process. You want to provide some background information about the project, such as the concept, the theme, the genre, the venue, and the budget. You also want to explain how you approached the project, what challenges you faced, what solutions you found, and what impact you had. Avoid leaving the viewer guessing or assuming about your work.

5 Outdated or irrelevant content

A fifth mistake is to include outdated or irrelevant content in your portfolio. Content refers to the projects and the samples that you choose to showcase in your portfolio. You want to use content that is current, relevant, and representative of your skills and your goals. You want to use content that demonstrates your versatility, your creativity, and your adaptability. Avoid using content that is old, outdated, or irrelevant to the type of work you are seeking or the industry you are in.

No Brasil, é perfeitamente aceitável uma informa??o antiga no portfólio ou no projeto. Isso mostra a autoridade que o profissional tem no mercado. Somente o próprio artista/produtor é que vai saber se a informa??o é irrelevante ou n?o. Para o projeto, pode ser que, diante uma avali??o para patrocínio, determinada informa??o seja irrelevante, mas toda experiência no meio artístico é válida. No Brasil, plano de a??o é para o projeto a ser executado. Porfólio é a reuni?o dos trabalhos que você já fez como profissional.

6 No contact information or call to action

A sixth mistake is to omit contact information or call to action in your portfolio. Contact information and call to action are vital to encourage the viewer to get in touch with you or to take the next step. You want to provide your name, your email, your phone number, and your website or social media links. You also want to invite the viewer to contact you for more information, to request a quote, to schedule a meeting, or to hire you. Avoid making the viewer search for your contact information or wonder what to do next.

Hola. Muy poco se puede a?adir este artículo es muy bueno. Cuando envió mis portfolio intento ser conciso y en unas 6 hojas poner lo que mas controlo y que puedo llegar hacer. Para que la persona que lo vea pueda hacerse una idea de como realizo mi trabajo. Actualmente para hacer ver los dibujos que realizo, utilizo infografías 3D, simulando una galería de arte, mostrando en un plano secuencia los diferentes cuadros. 1. Intentar ser concreto. 2. Poner lo que nos diferencia. 3. Ser originales no copiar a otros profesionales. Poco mas puedo a?adir. Muchas gracias.
