- misterjangles 13y agoYea I've seen them too. I'm like, ok this guy is fresh out of college with no work experience and he's done major redesigns for Nike, Budweiser and Home Depot?! I definitely don't mind seeing whatever work a new grad has - we all have to start somewhere. But, I just like to see it marked as schoolwork or whatever so I can get some understanding of what part of the work they actually did. The other thing is that I actually do regularly see portfolios with actual work for major brands, so when I see it in a portfolio, I tend to assume its real.
