Just like photos and yearbooks, my portfolio is equally hard to declutter. Somehow, I feel they’re like my babies because I put so much work into it. Years later, I still find a few pieces worthy enough, but some of them clearly show the lack of inspiration/motivation I was feeling at the job in question. Maybe I’ll keep two or three of a couple jobs just as an acknowledgment that I worked there. On the other hand, I had a job where I’ll have a difficult task of throwing away anything, as I believe everything —or most of it— I did there is beautiful and very inspired.
The work I did professionally is currently semiorganized in a few artist binders. I have a nicer larger display of the work I did while being a student at the uni. I’m not sure how I’m going to integrate both into just one portfolio, if I should even bother as nobody would care at this point to see the work I did as a student but would be more interested to see my more recent work.
My biggest issue is that, deep in me, I don’t intend to practice as a graphic designer anymore. I want to venture into a slightly different career —or maybe a completely new one if my life path should lead that way—, so really I just want this portfolio as a backup in case I do need to go back to graphic design or in case I get a gig, and people want to see my work.
