& Print Production . . .
A Portfolio is an incomplete chronicle . . .
For instance, most on-site projects (print or web) involve work-for-hire restrictions, "copyright" relinquishment, and/or proprietary info liabilities. Ultimately, clients are satisfied, they come back for more, and invoices are answered promptly. But obtaining copies for "the artist" (esp. digital)? Quite rare . . .
Of course, the in-house environment has a related production landscape. For starters, there are the dribs & drabs of opening design gambits intended to give the client a choice in direction. Many "thoughts" are interesting, but are relatively raw, because they aren't "fleshed-out" with paying interest. Not the best portfolio fodder . . .
But, such efforts do yield insight as to the designer's natural "flexibility" — and stopping power . . .
Ah-h-h, doesn't everyone's personal history have a bit of "what was THAT all about"? Let's try to assimilate the Past . . .
While creating a fresh, vibrant Future . . .

"On-Site" Resumé
A Working Theory . . .
Style & consistency will help establish the client's "branding" - the client's overall approach as a "benefit" must be apparent to their customers, who will then absorb "the brand", creating a working relationship. Marketing possibilities become easier sells vis-a-vis that presence - that feeling of a shared awareness that identifies & solves a problem, or eliminates a need. "The Style" may well be the symbiotic clincher that creates a long-term relationship in an otherwise even, competitive landscape.
And, of course, those "clinched" become monetized assets (certainly a relationship befitting the term "well-designed") . . .
