Perfect. The only problem I’m going to have now, is working out who I am and what I stand for… easy…

Hello Marta

If it were up to me, I would rather publish 1 great item in my portfolio than publish 4 average works in there.
Also, consider what type of work you really enjoy doing. If you love to design logos, make sure your portfolio contains a lot of great logos.

About the difficult name:
If you are good, people will find out your name. Ever heard of “Michelangelo Buonarroti”?

I’m sorry for my poor english

Very attractive article. Recently I started to think about branding “me”. I’m “starting” in design from about 2 years ago, and still only starting…
I read a lot of article in Internet, make a lot of a little projects, inform my folks, that I “want to be designer”…. but still have no good quality work, no attractive portfolio – No ’cause I’m not capable – but ’cause I have no good strategy and “know how”, how good bring into play my motivation.
..or maybe I know, but this is not so easy?

…and personal branding. Until recently I thinked that, my own name ist not attractive – to long, sounds bizarre, to “polisch”, but what do you think – that’s have a importance? or all of family names are good for own branding?

and ok – if I decided to buy a domain http://www.martapietraszewska.pl, and to make my own portfolio – it’s really better to take there one very good work, than 4 average? But all of them show my another skill.
So – It’s better to put this one or two very good works, and start to branding, in this way showing personaly evolution, or better is build a full portfolio for year, and then stun all of people with experience? …but for branding the Time is important too.

I know they are not an easy answer to these questions, but what are you-all think about it?
