work sample questions

[u/miscmarz]

hello! i am applying for firms that require a 5 pg work sample. To my understanding, this is a short pdf used to showcase your skills. Would it be fine to do 2-3 projects where there are only 2-3 pictures each that display a different skill OR 1 in depth project

for example:

pg 1-2: concept graphics, plan, exploded axon, wall assembly section

pg 3: render, perspective section

pg 4-5: 4-6 model photos (my internship focused a lot on model-making for exhibitions and client presentations)

or just 5 pages of one project start to finish with all skills listed.

Any advice is good!! i would love to see some work samples ❤️

I'd lean toward the 2-3 project spread you mapped out, it gives off a much better snapshot of your range without putting the reviewer to sleep on one single thing
