Clear the ring for the fourth Portfolio Slam!
If you want to find a permanent job as a game artist with a company in the games industry or acquire jobs as a freelancer, you need a convincing portfolio. But what makes a good portfolio? As a rule, the review of portfolios takes place behind closed doors. In many cases, applicants do not receive any usable feedback after the review.
Why should you participate in the Portfolio Slam?
At our fourth Portfolio Slam, students and young professionals will once again have the opportunity to learn what experts look for in a portfolio review. Afterwards, they can network and make valuable contacts with companies and other artists. The companies, in turn, have the opportunity to get to know the young talent and to network.
After three slams focusing on interaction design, editorial design and motion design, the fourth edition will focus on game art (concept art 2D, character art 3D, environments etc.).
Three students or young professionals will present their portfolio on stage. Afterwards, they will receive constructive feedback from the expert jury. The audience can also learn from the live feedback and gain clarity about what is behind job advertisements for game artists. All three presented portfolios will be presented to a broad audience on PAGE-Online(www.page-online.de) after the event. PAGE is a magazine for the creative industry and addresses all "graphic, media and communication designers and developers in their roles as conceptioners, designers and realisers as well as contractors and clients
The evening will open with a keynote speech by Reiko Groß from InnoGames
