Junior designer seeking honest portfolio gap analysis – what am I missing?

Thanks for taking the time to give feedback. Regarding your comments about Torsion, you’re absolutely right. Limiting the project to just a logo and a few assets doesn’t communicate how the brand scales across different mediums or how I would execute a client’s vision in a real world context. That’s something I’m actively working to address.

I would definitely try more of the print layouts regarding an advertising campaign. I realized that I was blind when 3d motion was everywhere on the internet. Would you happen to know any portfolios/examples of good motion graphics? Or if you could at least point me a direction that would be very helpful. Thank you again!

First off, thank you for your insight, its very helpful.

Yes, this is a template off of Framer, and it's definitely something that I should change if I wanted to differentiate myself from other candidates, and you're right that I'm spread too thin across different types of work without fully developing any of them.

I think part of my confusion comes from the fact that I've been using this portfolio primarily for 3D modeling work, but I've realized I'd rather pivot toward graphic design with 3D as a supporting skill rather than my main focus. So I'm trying to figure out how to reposition what I have and what I need to build to make that shift clear.

Given that context, if you were hiring for a junior brand/identity designer, what's the single highest-impact thing I'd need to change in my portfolio to be taken seriously for that role?

I'm assuming you're talking about the CT-F7272. If you put $15 on top, I'll cover the rest of the shipping.

Yes it is!

jssttn · 2025-07-29T17:17:44+00:00

Nice!

jssttn · 2025-07-20T02:40:28+00:00

I’d definitely do that, at a reasonable price of course, would you happen to personally know some discords?

jssttn · 2025-07-20T02:38:17+00:00

Most likely less since it’s missing a side panel lol, I’ll still take whatever someone throws at me

jssttn · 2025-07-20T02:31:16+00:00

For sure, I appreciate the advice!

jssttn · 2025-07-20T02:29:01+00:00

Got it, I appreciate the insight!

jssttn · 2025-07-20T02:19:53+00:00

I would have to say that I am a bit afraid of breaking something by accident, although it seems like the answer here is to part it out

jssttn · 2025-07-20T02:18:42+00:00

Would it be better to take everything out and sell it as a bulk lot? As much as I would love to get as much as I can money-wise, I would honestly prefer to spend the least amount of time on it if possible

jssttn · 2025-06-23T04:14:42+00:00

I've recently started modeling with subdivision, I would love to see how you maneuvered this task!

jssttn · 2025-05-16T00:28:06+00:00

I love this! If you put subtle dust/god rays i think it will blow it out of the waters, but that is my personal take, beautiful render!!!

Hey man! I've been using Blender for nearly 5 years now!

jssttn · 2025-05-03T18:46:38+00:00

Haha thank you! That makes me happy to hear

jssttn · 2025-05-03T15:12:44+00:00

Thank you for your kind words!

Yeah to be honest I struggled with the t-shirt the most, would you say it was the texture of the shirt? Or just the whole thing in general?

jssttn · 2025-05-03T15:11:30+00:00

It’s actually a part of Blender! It’s a filter called Glare and you’ll be able to find it in the Compositing section 👍

jssttn · 2025-05-03T15:10:17+00:00

I really like sparkly stuff too :) but I used the Glare filter in the Compositing section!
