Your portfolio.
![Page 27: Intro to the LA Design Community Resources](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081400/53effb598d7f72a64f8b45b9/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Your portfolio represents you.
But you’re not always there to talk
about your work.
![Page 28: Intro to the LA Design Community Resources](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081400/53effb598d7f72a64f8b45b9/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
No one gets hired on their
portfolio alone.
The best outcome is a meeting.
![Page 29: Intro to the LA Design Community Resources](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081400/53effb598d7f72a64f8b45b9/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Be selective. 4 - 8 is plenty
![Page 31: Intro to the LA Design Community Resources](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081400/53effb598d7f72a64f8b45b9/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
vs.
Your designs should be relevant.
![Page 32: Intro to the LA Design Community Resources](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081400/53effb598d7f72a64f8b45b9/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Your designs should be timely.
![Page 33: Intro to the LA Design Community Resources](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081400/53effb598d7f72a64f8b45b9/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Your designs should focus
on the user.
![Page 34: Intro to the LA Design Community Resources](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081400/53effb598d7f72a64f8b45b9/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Background.
Users.
Hurdles.
Imperatives.
Conclusion.
Designs.
Your designs should help you
tell a good story.

For each example, include:
1. What was your role?
2. What was your process?
3. What are you most proud of?
