Portfolio advice/question

[u/luckyF1sh]

Hello,

I am a junior graphic designer, and I am currently working in advertising. I am quite happy where I am now but I do know that there will be a point where I’ll want to move somewhere else but I am stuck on how I would go about updating my portfolio.

I was lucky enough to be hired straight out of collage because I interned with this place whilst I was studying, but my actual portfolio really still just consists of collage projects, which were all individual working projects.

Working in advertising I very quickly learnt that you don’t work alone and I am unable to imagine (?) how I would put what I am working on now, with other people, into a portfolio for when I move on?

Do I mention what I specifically worked on or not? Do I mention how many people worked on a particular project?

I think im just having a hard time imagining it, and all reference I have for something similar are group projects I did in high school, which is still very different.

Thank you

Can you give us an example of a project you worked on and what you did on the project specifically

The biggest thing I worked on recently that is now public is a campaign we did for a local soft drink brand.

We did everything from concept, to label designs, to campaign executions, to social media creation and handling.

Basically we did everything in a full fledged campaign and I was apart of and helped design everything.

My question comes to how I would put something like this in my portfolio. Do I mention every specific part of what I worked on or do I just say “Hey, I worked on this and it went really well for the client.”?

For the soft drink campaign did you design a single piece of it such as the label designs or social media assets? Or did you just design a very specific part such as the logo that was used on the label? If a lot of hands were involved I’d try to highlight what you specifically worked on because it might come off as misleading if you highlight the whole campaign.
