We headed to Birmingham Design Festival to see Johanna's talk a few weeks ago. It was interesting to hear how everyone represented the theme of 'Process' in their sessions, and also pretty clear we are definitely doing things differently at Output. We're looking forward to exploring more next year - what a great event.

Putting a design portfolio together can be a leap into the unknown. How do you boil months of work down into a handful of project pages? And how do you make sure it really captures ‘you’? When Strategist Zackerea Bakir reviewed the portfolios of University of the Arts London LCC students, he saw how agencies judge people’s work. Suddenly it was clear what to put in, how to stand out and what pitfalls to avoid. Zack’s shared those learnings in ‘Don’t stress to impress!’ You can read it here 👉 https://lnkd.in/egb_6-DQ And don’t forget to follow Output for more help to build your career.
