TOP 3 PORTFOLIO DO'S & DO NOT'S

TOP 3 PORTFOLIO
DO'S & DO NOT'S


DO#1 
Use authentic sources of inspiration for your mood board.  Using other current designers' work as inspiration is not original.  Consider taking your own photos, or painting a picture to set the stage for a truly one of a kind presentation.
Recap:  Don't copy.

DO#2
Keep in mind who your customer is.  If you wouldn't wear it, who will?  This seems obvious, but you'd be surprised how many designers sketch a dress you can't get into.  This point was key in my Parsons Fashion School education.
Recap:  Don't just design for lady G.G.

DO#3
Focus on your strengths.  If draping and construction are your strength, and illustration is not, take a gorgeous photo of your latest design creation.  Make it prominent in your portfolio layout.  The illustration sketch can be smaller.  Focus on a well drawn flat that will showcase your understanding of construction. 
Recap:  Don't showcase your weakness.
