Hi
I am in the process of starting out as a freelancer in my spare time and going to put together a website for myself. However I have no work i can put on my portfolio page (because its all been done through the place I work at so can't really use).
There's nothing to say I can't make up a few company names with logos and brochure etc and pretend they were real jobs, i know this will take time but I feel its important to have some sort of portfolio.
I'm interested in what people think and what you did when you were just starting out.
Cheers...Stu

Email potential clients with a link to the portfolio, this way its not published on a website but accessable to the people you need to see the work. At the end of the day it's important to have non-disclosure on certain projects but you still designed the work and have the right to say it's yours.
If you signed a NDA then I would avoid showing anyone until it's released as you might show it to competitors and then your in trouble.
Another idea is to show the 'concepts' not the final design.
Hope this helps.
