Thanks for the responses, some really useful advice about being more forceful with the application process, I imagine it’s easy for CV’s and folio’s to fall through the cracks when there’s so many people applying to the same roles.
I’m pretty open to what area of I.D I get a job in, my ideal role would be with consumer electronics but ultimately I just want to get experience doing a more of the design process as really all I do at the moment is the initial creative (no development or design for manufacture). I have a few projects from uni I’ve been wanting to re-work for the portfolio but haven’t had the time to do it yet, so that next on the list!
Also on reflection I agree with you Andy on the amount of text in the folio so I’ll look to trim that down. I guess since the dog project especially was very in-depth I wanted to convey everything I did to explain how I got the the end result, though realistically people - especially creatives - will mainly look at the pictures.
