"I'm a midweight designer looking to step into another job elsewhere but I keep hearing so many conflicting things about portfolio formats and I don't want to have to recreate three versions all on different platforms just to apply for a job. I can't find any solid advice on what agencies are looking to see regarding format and if sending a PDF makes you look dated."
"What is the state of portfolio formats in such a fast-moving technological world? Are PDF portfolios even a thing anymore? What are agencies expecting to see when someone submits their portfolio, and is it fair to emerging creatives to have to pay for websites, Figma, Adobe, and more just to show off their work? There's always Instagram, I suppose."
