Graphic Design, Production Art, Prepress . . .
A Portfolio is an incomplete chronicle . . .
For instance > on-site projects (print or web) involve work-for-hire restrictions, copyright relinquishment, and proprietary info liabilities - plus, under the radar efforts & hassles . . .
Yet, at the end of the day, when employers are satisfied > you have steady(?) income, AND self-respect . . .
But, obtaining copies (esp. digital) for "the artist"?
Quite rare . . .
And yes, freelancers have a related production landscape, esp. copyright relinquishment & proprietary info liabilities - then there's dealing with the IRS & the 1099 "benefits desert" . . .
Ultimately though, if clients are satisfied, and they realize continued value (plus, positioning) for said services > invoices are promptly(?) answered, PLUS you gather referrals . . .
Obviously, finished products exist, as do the relatively raw, opening design gambits that aren't fleshed out with paying interest — the speculative touches, the ice-breakers that initially address the client's hopes, their wishes, but . . .
Stuff of Legend?
Nah . . .
Of course, such efforts DO yield insight as to the designer's natural talent, inate flexibility — and stopping power . . .
Just not suitable references for the spotlight . . .
The "Process" isn't viewable . . .
Yeah, Yeah - BUT . . .
Doesn't everyone's personal/professional history have a bit of, "what was THAT all about"?
At FlyDutch, we DO assimilate (& admit to) the Past . . .
While creating a fresh, vibrant Future . . .

The Legend of
the Flying Dutchman
"On-Site" CV
The Working Theory . . .
Style & consistency are crucial in establishing any client's approach — branding is personal . . .
Our client's overall relevance to their marketplace has to be seen as an "on-going positive", readily absorbed - and that INSTANT benefit becomes a reliable comfort . . .
Marketing possibilities then become easier sells vis-a-vis that Presence - that feeling of shared awareness that identifies & solves a problem, or eliminates a need . . .
A Comfort translating into the symbiotic clincher that creates a sense of teamwork in this over-saturated airspace . . .
And (of course), those "clinched" become monetized assets . . . Certainly a relationship befitting the term "well-designed" . . .
