Im going to be graduating this year...oh man.. seeing some of these people’s portfolios are crazy. Makes me nervous what I have isn’t good enough. But I’m excited to try harder and learn more. Love the tips always too Sam!!
What school? I'm at CSULB don't worry man everyone starts somewhere. A lot can happen in a year and it comes down to how likeable you are as a person to these companies. You are going to be family depending on the company you apply for if you have a personality and actual hobbies and can relate to people in the workplace you will have a better chance than the guy with the amazing portfolio but terrible social skills and stuck up.
@@fixhead562 Are you a senior too? I'm at UIC. I just visited CSULB in December haha! I stopped by their design department and saw their posters in the hallways, it looked so good!! It's good to know that personality matters... I'd like to think I'm pretty nice and social. I'm not the best at beautiful sketching, but pretty good in 3d/rendering
matthewnour97 I’m a sophomore about to apply for Jr year ID in the spring for fall. Yeah the professors here help get you up to speed. I’ve seen students work from when they first started to senior year and big improvements. It also comes down to practicing on your own time but the professors do help with their assignments. Yeah man you will be fine just refine your portfolio when you graduate and look for a job after no rush. Yes just be nice to be around and your strong points in your work will carry you. I know from being introduced to this line of work from my dads friend who is the president at one of the Yamaha design studios everyone plays their part and they place you where they think you can help out at.
Im study industrial design in Colombia and i finish soon my carrer, so see all portafolio to many people and know more for how to make when i need prepare mine So yours tips is really enriching of me. Thanks for your content from Cali Colombia. (i learing english jeje sorry if exist errors )
It was really good to see the portfolios of the industrial designers that are working... I have just finished my first year in industrial designing and i would surely appreciate you for reviewing the portfolios and telling people how they can improve well done!!
Dear Sam!!, I like your work for the design engineers.. I have one request will you do one portfolio how you will do and in which tool we want to do it, still people searching how to do it. So please do one video for it..!!
Can you film a tutorial on how to render white products on a white background? I had a hard time on my last project to make my product pop from the background. Love your videos!
I'm wondering if I should create my PDF portfolio in 16:9 or DIN A4. Because most people will look at it on the screen, but some may print it out. What is your opinion on this?
I'm seeing a lot of good rendering and drawings in these but honestly a lack of genuinely good design and little on the design process. Don't get me wrong there are some good ones in there. I feel employers would look more at the process and the thinking behind things and importantly consideration on how things will be manufactured. I think its also important to look at the end of life aspects of the product/object. Just my 2 cents.
Really nice video Sam, love watching these. I'm starting my Masters this year and would love to get mine reviewed by you before I join the world of work. Would you be doing any more of these in the near future?
I have a question, I want to go in a design and art school to be an industrial designer, do I have to present a portfolio with a lot of different art or can I just present industrial design project ?
the last student rated her photoshop skills at the maximum. and now take a look at the composition which can be seen briefly at 18:15 . A more realistic assessment of your own abilities would be advisable.
Ashuj definitely pdf. When applying for a job you’re going to be sending a pdf, but a website helps to show them more of your work if they like you and want to spend more time on you.
Currently, I'd recommend making a PDF first, and a website is nice to have afterwards. You'll need to submit whichever the company has requested, so it's good to have both!
Loving the constructive criticism here - always helps me to improve my own portfolios!
Friendly constructive criticism is the goal!

I don't want to make you more nervous, but these portfolios aren't all that good. Most of the renderings and sketches are at a very low level
Feeling the same way. It's both disheartening and inspiring, but all the more eye-opening how there's so much more to improve on still.

I have one request will you do one portfolio how you will do and in which tool we want to do it, still people searching how to do it.
So please do one video for it..!!

Thanks for the video. It was really instructive. Can you make a video about the portfolios to enter in a school of design please?

Just my 2 cents.
I would like to know how to learn design myself without school ? Thanks
Holy shit, these are crazy good :o And some people in the comments say they are not even that good? If that's the case i'm never getting a job xD
Really nice video Sam, love watching these. I'm starting my Masters this year and would love to get mine reviewed by you before I join the world of work. Would you be doing any more of these in the near future?
I have a question, I want to go in a design and art school to be an industrial designer, do I have to present a portfolio with a lot of different art or can I just present industrial design project ?
What fonts do you use the most? do you stick to one font for a given presentation or do you use a combination different Fonts?
where is the video where you reviewed your portfolio that got you your dream job???

I am working right now at my portfolio. Would you like to have a look once I am done?
Amazing content! :D Also, can you tell me which laptop is best for industrial design work?
buy the latest hp omen laptop
@@tanishxp Im finishing school next year, and Ive had a lenovo Yoga730 that has been great. I love the touch screen for digital sketching as well.
Is Web For Large a good dimension for portfolio?
Hey Sam, do you think having a PDF of portfolio important? Or having a portfolio website enough in itself?
Ashuj definitely pdf. When applying for a job you’re going to be sending a pdf, but a website helps to show them more of your work if they like you and want to spend more time on you.
@@matthewnour97 Thanks. 👍
Can you tell me how to put my product deign like a real product in an image
It's really amazing, I got one doubt are you in m.arch in industrial design
Hey where can I send my portfolio!?
Hey Sam! Just wanna say HI !
can it be a website rather than a pdf?
Currently, I'd recommend making a PDF first, and a website is nice to have afterwards. You'll need to submit whichever the company has requested, so it's good to have both!
Hey, nice haircut.
