Designing a Better Portfolio

I just finished reading these three articles on how to improve your portfolio. The first one has some pretty standard (but still good) advice on what all portfolios should have and do (consider your audience, show a range of skills, try to stand out somehow), but doesn't have any real insight. The second is fairly similar, but it also makes the point that you need to demonstrate some business savvy by acting in a professional manner when interviewed. Again, good points, but not ground-breaking.

The last article however was a real gem. It was by far the longest of the three, and it really went into detail about what the author, a co-founder of a product design studio, looks for in a potential hire. From telling a story to keeping the graphics to a minimum to demonstrating your design thinking, he covers a lot of ground. If you're looking to revise your portfolio any time soon it's well worth a read.
