New category: Portfolio! Will include tips for demo reels and websites as well.
Porn Elves and Other Offenses of the Common Student Portfolio is a nice run down of some do’s and don’t’s of a portfolio. My biggest issue on there might be the generalization. Animation, character design, illustration and graphic design (less so on the graphic part) is what would probably be displayed in mine. I like to think it wouldn’t be an issue but who knows. I do need to redo my website and demo reel so badly, and then maybe I can get some good insight on it.
More I have to read:

I would post hilights, but that would just be copy/pasting the article.
