Coroflot

Besides being an online design job and portfolio posting resource, Coroflot also has an Advice column called Creative Seeds. Many of the articles posted are geared towards students and recent design school graduates. For instance, check out:

“Six reasons I didn’t look at your portfolio” – an honestly written article by Carl Alviani.

Coroflot is also related to Core77 (design magazine and resource) which is worth a look.

Similar to Krop, (see my previous post), you can create a FREE online portfolio. Go ahead and GO for it!

One year later

You’ve all seen or heard me reference 2008 graduate Shauna Haider’s work (AKA Nubby Twiglet) from time to time. After a year interning and then working full time for Nemo HQ in Portland, she and a dozen colleagues were  cut loose because of downsizing. She’s been busy retooling her portfolio to drum up freelance work and/or a new position.

You can download her new 2009 portfolio here. And take a look at how it looked in June 2008. (scroll to the bottom). You’ll see student work in both versions, but note how she describes the pieces (MercyCorps, Penguin Books cover, 2008 Calendar).

She’s got 10 pages of tightly edited work, (including a logo page of 9 wordmarks) that shows her range and unique perspective. It’s a strong, simple layout that uses a system of typographic labels and rules.
