[IxDA Discuss] Excellent Portfolios for IxDs (also:doemployerscare about portfolios?)

[Manish Pillewar]

It's not always possible for a designer to show the
work done( screens/prototypes/documents ) on job-
could be due to IPR /Copyright issues. How should a
designer showcase his work then? Can merely talking
about the project and the processes involved and
responsibilities taken suffice? Can you really judge a
designer on mere talk? What are we looking for?

--There are many designers (to use the lump term) in 
my area who trot out on a resume all the projects
they've been involved in.
But if they can't show me examples, to be followed up
with a good conversation about the hows and whys, then
I'm wasting my time.

A 10-year veteran should show and discuss
revenue-boosting projects for multiple clients and
client segments and should be able to explain design
success AND failures and the reasons for them--
