I am a product designer by nature, but I also enjoy working in illustrator. I just loose myself in illustrator! At my last internship I made info-graphics for research projects (aside from design sketching). I figure that this is an additional skill set that might look attractive to employers. What do you think?
May of 2009 one of my renderings was featured on coroflot. I like to think that this is one of my strong points. Should I include it in my teaser?
Infographics: no. Illustrator rendering? It might be nice, depending on the other content in the teaser. If your teaser is one quick case study of one project, and the you have a random Prius rendering (really nicely done, btw), then no. If your teaser is just a bunch of images of your projects, sketches, renderings, etc., then yes.
I think your skill in infographics would be best applied to creative and sensitive graphic design of your portfolio. That will show it the best, without shouting.
haha, yeah, you caught me. I used to joke around with some friends with the name Totoya. At the time of the rendering, it was for a class with those friends.
