Summarise Your Portfolio Into the Work That Best Represents You Right Now

The portfolio has twelve pieces and you cannot decide which four to lead with. This makes the call: which represent your current quality rather than your output history, which shows distinctive thinking, which answers the thing clients always ask, and which should be removed because it no longer represents how you work. List the pieces and describe them briefly.

You have more work in your portfolio than you want to lead with. List the projects or pieces you are considering including: [list or describe each piece and when it was made].

Summarise it down to a lead portfolio of four or five pieces: (1) which pieces best represent the quality of your current work rather than the volume of your past work; (2) which piece shows the most distinctive thinking rather than the most polished execution; (3) one piece to include because it answers the question that clients or employers most often ask about your capabilities; (4) one piece you should remove because it is out of date or no longer representative of how you work.
