Portfolio advice, from a lead who hires Concept Artists

(This was originally a twitter thread I wrote before the site self imolated, hense it's strange structure.) I wrote this after a weekend of portfolio reviews - 1. Like a maths exam, please please show your working. I want to see thumbs options, mid options and of course a final design.

2. Arrange your portfolio, I don't want to bounce about between subject matter and pipeline. Your portfolio's narrative should be as strong as your work... 3.��Please make worlds that excite the viewer, make them want to go in and explore them, explain to them the interesting parts of the town, or the way the character's hat unfolds. How will this draw the viewer in? 4. As I've said before the majority of your project work is explanatory not mood, make sure your portfolio contains explanatory work. Explained here -

5. A lot of beautiful post apocolyptic paintings, , but 80% of realistic games and film, we just give the environment artists photo ref, they are capable artists in their own right. Different work in stylised where you do need to create rules for how things can be translated. 6. Production art contains call out sheets, material references and flat graphics. This doesn't have to be your final image, but it should support it.

7. Design characters on a swatch(es) of the environment they will be viewed in. Not on white. I make swatch backgrounds from screenshots, it avoids assumptions that damage readability. 8. Reverse of this, put people in your environments, show me the scale.

9. It's not a deal breaker for a review, but if you intend to get a job, please show me your work on a screen larger than a smartphone (print outs probably the cheapest option with the best battery life). 10. Please have your contact details clearly visible, and by that I mean email address, I will not pass your social media contact on, I cannot input your form into my tracking system. EMAIL ADDRESS emblazoned and bake it in, sometimes recruiters do funky stuff to pdfs

11. Your portfolio will never feel done, not to you anyway. You will have learnt from your latest pieces and want to apply it to older work. But we know art is a journey. Send your portfolio anyway. I've been in the industry 10+ years and my portfolio is still not 'finished'. 12. If you are applying to an environment centric Concept Art position then please vary your times of day! Golden hour is cool but show me some happy sunny days, looming overcast days, what about at night? Vary your weather too! Sunny snowy day? Rainy Spring day? Stormy night?

13. If you are applying for a character centric Concept Art role then please ensure your portfolio shows a variety of body types and ethnicities. 14. Designing characters for games? Please show back views and feet (!) Many potfolios contain only front views. This is a problem because:

You haven't shown you are considering the design from all angles.

In many games rear view is the main view.

Stop cropping feet.

15. If you are entry / graduating and looking at Portfolios to compare content and standard of yr own work too, look at hired grad/junior artists as opposed to seniors Seniors and leads often have old or personal work in their portfolio which isnt representative of the day job. 16a. Show clearly the intended use case for your Concept Art. Mention the game type in the description. Are these player character designs for a 3rd person adventure game? Then more back views please. Bonus points for diagetic ways of showing health / equipment / role etc.

16b. Are these designs for an FPS? Then really the player view of the gun needs to sell the player style/ choices, in an FPS your weapons are almost your character. Are these world designs? What's the view distance? For an RTS your shapes need to read from above & a distance. 16c. The lack of clarification means I am judging the design in isolation, which both harms the design (you might be considering the backview of a char as the main adventure character.) Or an NPC, their waist up expressions may be important for conveying exposition and mechanics.

16d. Concept art is not separate from gameplay, great concept art serves the game team before it is a good illustration.

17. Play games. A variety of games. Think about them. IMO to be a good concept artist you need to understand the common language & references used by your peers. Also understand the principles and common language your audience are used to. FPS design rules are v.diff from RTS.

18. There are many skills that are needed in concept art, please show them. For example: Graphic design - logos, liveries, typographic use etc. VFX concepts - Abilities, Ambience, motion concepts. Architectural knowledge - How buildings are built! & more but I'm out of space :O

Why Do Reputed Sites Use Phrases Like 'Resume Resume Builder'? Is It an SEO Thing?

Search engines are a bit quirky—they cater to how people type, not necessarily how they speak. Turns out, a lot of users type phrases like “Resume Resume Builder” when searching for tools to create resumes. While it might sound odd, this is what helps reputable sites (guilty as charged 🙋‍♂️) rank for those exact queries. After all, if someone’s searching for it, we want to make sure they find us.

Funny SEO Phrases We’ve Seen (and Maybe Used 😅):

"Resume Resume Builder" – Because one “resume” just isn’t enough.(P.S. Check out our Resume Resume Builder if you're curious—it’s not just funny; it’s actually helpful.)

"Job Job Search" – You can never be too thorough when looking for a job.

"Best Best Tools for Work" – Double the adjectives, double the impact.

"Make My Resume Now Quickly" – A sense of urgency never hurts, right?

"AI AI AI Help My Resume" – When all else fails, just repeat the tech buzzword.

Why It Works (and Why You See It Everywhere):

While these phrases might sound silly, they’re actually crafted to help connect users with the tools they’re searching for—even if the way they search isn’t, well, conventional. For example, a lot of people search for repetitive terms like “Resume Resume Builder” simply because it’s quick and to the point.

If you’re curious about what a great resume builder can do, check out our Resume Resume Builder. It’s designed to be simple, effective, and—unlike these SEO phrases—100% professional.

So, Next Time You See a Repetitive Phrase...

Don’t cringe—laugh a little, and remember, it’s all part of the magic that helps you find what you’re looking for (even if it sounds a bit ridiculous).

I have referred and learn from this concept if you want learn please go through this https://www.udemy.com/course/how-to-do-well-in-your-interviews/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eJMMhGhNRE

Introduction

Job interviews can be nerve-wracking experiences, often leaving candidates feeling anxious and uncertain. However, with the right preparation, you can transform that anxiety into confidence and set yourself up for success. In this article, we’ll explore seven essential secrets to flawless interview preparation that will help you stand out from the competition and impress your potential employers. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or a recent graduate, these tips will guide you through the process of preparing for your next job interview.

1. Research the Company

Understand the Company Culture

Before stepping into an interview, it’s crucial to have a solid understanding of the company you’re applying to. Research their mission, values, and culture. This knowledge will not only help you tailor your responses but also demonstrate your genuine interest in the organization.

Visit the company’s website and read their “About Us” section.

Check out their social media profiles to get a sense of their tone and engagement with the community.

Look for recent news articles or press releases to stay updated on their latest developments.

“Knowledge is power. The more you know about the company, the better you can align your skills with their needs.”

Know the Job Description

Take the time to thoroughly read the job description. Identify the key responsibilities and required skills, and think about how your experience aligns with these points. This will allow you to provide specific examples during the interview that showcase your qualifications.

2. Practice Common Interview Questions

Prepare Your Responses

While you can’t predict every question you’ll be asked, there are common interview questions that frequently come up. Prepare thoughtful responses to these questions, focusing on your experiences and achievements.

Tell me about yourself.

What are your greatest strengths and weaknesses?

Why do you want to work here?

Conduct Mock Interviews

Consider practicing with a friend or family member. Conducting mock interviews can help you get comfortable with articulating your thoughts and reduce anxiety. You can also record yourself to evaluate your body language and tone.

3. Dress for Success

Choose the Right Outfit

Your appearance plays a significant role in the first impression you make. Dressing appropriately for the interview shows respect for the company and the opportunity. Research the company’s dress code and choose an outfit that aligns with it.

For corporate roles, opt for business formal attire.

For creative industries, you might have more flexibility, but aim for polished and professional.

“Your outfit should make you feel confident and comfortable, allowing your personality to shine through.”

4. Prepare Your Questions

Engage with the Interviewer

At the end of the interview, you’ll likely be asked if you have any questions. This is your chance to engage with the interviewer and show your interest in the role. Prepare thoughtful questions that reflect your research and curiosity about the company.

What does a typical day look like for someone in this position?

How does the company support professional development?

What are the next steps in the hiring process?

5. Master Your Body Language

Non-Verbal Communication

Your body language can convey confidence and enthusiasm, or it can signal nervousness and disinterest. Be mindful of your posture, eye contact, and gestures during the interview.

Sit up straight and maintain an open posture.

Make eye contact to show engagement.

Use hand gestures naturally to emphasize points.

“Your body language speaks volumes before you even say a word.”

6. Follow Up After the Interview

Send a Thank-You Note

After the interview, it’s essential to follow up with a thank-you note. This simple gesture can leave a lasting impression and reinforce your interest in the position. In your note, express gratitude for the opportunity and briefly reiterate why you’re a great fit for the role.

Send the note within 24 hours of the interview.

Personalize it by mentioning something specific from your conversation.

7. Reflect and Learn

Evaluate Your Performance

Regardless of the outcome, take time to reflect on your interview experience. Consider what went well and what could be improved for future interviews. This self-assessment will help you grow and become more prepared for the next opportunity.

Write down your thoughts immediately after the interview.

Seek feedback from trusted friends or mentors.

Conclusion

Preparing for a job interview doesn’t have to be a daunting task. By following these seven secrets, you can approach your next interview with confidence and poise. Remember, preparation is key, and the more effort you put into it, the better your chances of success. So, take a deep breath, trust in your abilities, and get ready to nail that interview!

“Preparation is the key to success. The more you prepare, the more confident you will feel.”

Now that you’re equipped with these essential tips, it’s time to put them into action. Start your preparation today, and watch as your interview anxiety transforms into confidence!

If you're a potential student of museum-related fields, you might have gathered by now that it's a tough one. Questionable remuneration, fast-disappearing budgets, social invisibility, a limited number of permanent jobs, and ironically high barriers to entry are some of the main complaints. So if you know all this and you still want to do this because you love the field, then you deserve a star and a digital certificate (because there's no budget to print you a physical one and also #sustainability). We recognise your efforts and applaud your determination! 👏👏👏 And recommend you also get business and marketing skills because private practice may become necessary. . . . _______ Follow for more conservation memes. ❤️ . . . .

The Pros and Cons of Earning Money Through Social Media Posting

In today's digital age, social media has become an integral part of our lives. It is not only used for socializing but has also opened up new opportunities for people to earn money. Social media posting has become a popular way of earning money, especially for influencers and content creators. However, like any other profession, there are both pros and cons to earning money through social media posting.

Pros:

Flexibility: One of the biggest advantages of earning money through social media posting is the flexibility it provides. You can work from anywhere and at any time. This allows you to balance your work and personal life easily.

High earning potential: Social media influencers and content creators have a high earning potential. They can earn money through brand collaborations, sponsorships, and advertising. As your following grows, your earning potential increases.

Creative freedom: Social media posting allows you to express your creativity and showcase your skills to a larger audience. You have the freedom to create content that resonates with you and your audience.

Easy to start: Starting as a social media influencer or content creator is relatively easy. You can start by creating an account on your favorite platform and building your following. Once you have a significant following, you can start monetizing your content.

Cons:

Instability: Social media algorithms are constantly changing, and your income can be affected by these changes. Platforms like Instagram and YouTube are notorious for changing their algorithms, which can lead to a drop in engagement and income.

Oversaturation: Social media has become a crowded space, and it can be challenging to stand out from the competition. The market is oversaturated, and it can be difficult to gain a significant following and make a sustainable income.

Uncertain income: Unlike a traditional job, social media posting does not provide a stable income. Your income can vary depending on the brands you work with, the engagement you receive, and the platform's algorithm changes.

Time-consuming: Social media posting requires a significant amount of time and effort. You need to consistently create high-quality content, engage with your audience, and stay up-to-date with the latest trends.

In conclusion, earning money through social media posting has both advantages and disadvantages. It provides flexibility, high earning potential, and creative freedom, but it can also be unstable, oversaturated, uncertain, and time-consuming. If you are considering becoming a social media influencer or content creator, it is essential to weigh the pros and cons and determine if it is the right path for you.
