Hello,

I'd like to update my portfolio (after 9 months it's highest time I think :-), 'cause the current portfolio doesn't reflect my skills.

But I'm facing a dilemma with my banner portfolio : should I put into my online portfolio all 2500 banners I designed in the meantime?

Some designers put online just 10-15 samples, some show all their work. Now I don't know if it's worth to put them online..

So the question is:

a. - put them online all ? Then another question arises : also their modifications ("100% FREE", static versions of GIFs, etc)? Cause that means another 600 banners and I'm afraid it can make much traffic then
b. - put online only few
c. - put online only few and say "More portfolio available on request"

So what's your opinion?

PS: to let you know what kind of quality I'm speaking about few samples of the banners are here:

Are they worth putting online?

Thanks for any advice.

Regards.

stick to
KISS formula-
Keep
It
Simple
Stupid
and being a designer,
it's much more important how many clients you know personally than the size of your portfolio...

I would keep them online for your clients to look at.

Lets say a client wants a particular 'feel', but is having a hard time describing it to you.

Let him go wild in the banner farm :)

Nice work.
