What are your thoughts on creating "fake" brands as a way to showcase your skillset, but labelling it as a personal project, or something similar?
Following
I'm not a designer, but this commonly happens in video production. Different in the sense that the brands already exist, but a director of photography may create a speculative ad for a product they own in a style that is similar to work that they are trying to get hired for. I don't think it is a bad thing as long as it is labeled as spec work! Hope this helps!
Once mentioned that I did some personal projects some companies are asking for published client works 😢
I'm all for it, I done it myself when I was first starting out and it really helped me :)
This is gold. ✨ Quick and to the point.
Thank you! That's always my intent so it's great to hear it went down well!

Keep being consistent on instagram!! Make sure your work is reflective of the type of people you want to work with. Let your friends and family keep an eye out for potentially opportunities. Success doesn’t happen overnight but it will in time! I’m rooting for you 😊

Really enjoyed this video and seeing your portfolio 👍🏻 Thansk Abi, let’s make a video together sometime
Nice, thanks for posting.
No problem!
Thanks for his Abi! Just a question - how do you showcase this portfolio? Is it supposed to be on a website or just a PDF that you send to clients?
A PDF that you send! :)
@abiconnick Thank you!!
Thank you so much
You're most welcome!
Thanks a lot!!!
You're welcome!
What happened to your brand design videos? Like Scoff, Roots & Roamers and Dig It? I was searching high and low to rewatch and think they've been removed :(
it was really beneficial to see a professional portfolio reference. but what I didn't understand is how to send my portfolio as a social media posts! I don't get it
Could you explain a little further as I'm not sure what you mean and I'd like to help!!
Hey Abi, How to rank on behance to get clients?
It's not something I've ever put a lot of effort into so sadly I'm not sure!
do you also use InDesign?
I do indeed!
If I have a focus on editorial design (internal layout for physical books), how would you recommend for me to showcase a "variety" of projects on my portfolio since my job is about working on she same type of products? I've been struggling with this :')
I’d showcase them in a similar format but use different mockups to differentiate them!
@@abiconnick That makes sanse! Thank u so much 💜
Hi Abi, i have a question, how do you handle clients that also want a website? Do you design the UI and outsource it to a web developer? Or do you decline working with such clients? because I don't think i have ever seen you include UI design as part of your brand identity design process.
So I don't personally do anything web design as that isn't my speciality, but I have a referral network where if a cleint needs a website I have a set person I refer them too! Hope this answers your question :) But as part of presenting the brand identity to the cleint I do create a website mock up so they can see their branding in action.
@ thanks a lot Abi
What platform do you recommend for this?
I use Adobe Illustrator and InDesign and export as a PDF to send via email :)
@@abiconnick Sorry I mean what website platform do you then put this onto?:)
I can't able to understand this video language
Idk why? But i resist working on creative brief instead i want real client even if they don't pay me..
wt should I do, where can i find one & if u don't have a portfolio no one gonna give work to u 🥴
It's kind of impossible to convert a client if you don't have a bank of work to show them! They need proof that you can solve their problem through creative solutions!
What is the language
It's English!
