A Portfolio is an incomplete chronicle . . .
For instance > on-site projects (print or web) involve work-for-hire restrictions, copyright relinquishment, plus proprietary info liabilities. But, at the end of the day, employers are satisfied > you have steady(?) income, AND some self-respect . . .
But, obtaining copies (esp. digital) for "the artist"?
Quite rare . . .
Of course, freelancers have a related production landscape, esp. copyright relinquishment & proprietary info liabilities - then there's dealing with the IRS & the 1099 "benefits desert" . . .
Ultimately though, if clients are satisfied, and clients realize continued value for said services > invoices are promptly answered . . .
So, finished products exist, as do the relatively raw, opening design gambits that aren't fleshed out with paying interest — the ice-breakers that initially address the client's wishes . . .
Stuff of Legend?
Nah . . .
But, such efforts do yield insight as to the designer's natural talent, inate flexibility — and stopping power . . .
Just not suitable subjects for the spotlight . . .
The "Process" isn't viewable . . .
Yeah, yeah - but . . .
Doesn't everyone's personal/professional history have a bit of, "what was THAT all about"?
At FlyDutch, we DO assimilate the Past . . .
While creating a fresh, vibrant Future . . .

The Working Theory . . .
Style & consistency are crucial in establishing any client's approach — their branding . . .
The client's overall accessibility to the market has to be seen as a "benefit", and must be easily apparent to their clientele, who will then absorb said brand into their life > 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 . . .
Said Message will hopefully be the symbiotic clincher that creates a long-term relationship in this saturated, competitive landscape . . .
And (of course), those "clinched" become monetized assets . . . Certainly a relationship befitting the term "well-designed" . . .
