Most portfolio advice assumes you're showing something visual

Most portfolio advice assumes you're showing something visual but some of the most valuable skills don't produce a screenshot. Welcome to Portfolio 101. Today we're talking about how to showcase skills that can't be explained by a picture. Number one, document your process, not just your output. So instead of showing the final output, show us the journey you've been on. You can do this in a case study style where you talk about the problem, the way you thought about it, as well as the final outcome. Say you're a designer instead of posting the final logo, show us the directions with, you know, how you started with your thinking through how you got there. Number two, make your taste visible. Show that you have a specific lens compared to someone else. This can be done in so many ways, whether that's highlighting opinion pieces you've written, talking about the style of your current work and why you chose this style or generally giving more personality who portfolio. Show the frameworks. Three, give us some frameworks. Talk about frameworks you've introduced, how you've led teams to find insights or a process you created and ended up with a campaign result. You don't need to give away all your trade secrets, but it's a good way to highlight how your brain works. No. Number four, let someone else say it for you. With things like judgment, specific detailed accounts from someone you've worked with can do more anything yourself. Something like, she caught that our whole campaign angle was wrong two days before launch, and she was right. Specificity is what makes it work.
