I am passionate about graphic design, despite not having relevant graphic design qualifications. I'd like to start a freelance portfolio as I would need to appear professional when I contact companies. Though, not having done any work before for any companies, how would I start my portfolio? I'd like any views on my dilemma from professionals and those in the Graphic Design field especially freelance artists.
How Can kick-start my graphic Design Portfolio?
To have an impressive porfolio, you need to just do it, even it's free. Do some free graphic design for people. Because on your resume, you don't have to put down whether it was working for free or not. Try get your name everywhere and specify that you're nice enough to design for free. Try to learn from other established graphic designers, how they market themselves. Take a look at some of the profiles on benefito and see what kind of porfolio those people have.
Reply:Why don't you request that companies place a request to you for graphic design. You will find that the companies will have an idea in mind that they want you to develop for them.
Reply:Go to various non-profit/volunteer groups in your area and offer your services for no charge. Then use the material you create for them as your portfolio. So you will be helping others and yourself, you can't lose.
