As a designer, you probably have perfectionist tendencies: you'll probably always feel like your portfolio could be better. The best way to answer "Is your portfolio good enough to attract paid work?" is to use your portfolio to try to attract paid work - or you'll forever be thinking "I'll just add one more thing...". Put it out and also start small - small companies, personal connections, local stuff, personal approaches to things you have specialist knowledge of. The worst thing that can happen is nothing happens, so there's nothing to lose by trying. | |
