starting without much client work seems like a weird catch-22. you need examples to get clients, but you need clients to create real examples. i’m curious what actually worked for people when they were starting out. spec work, personal projects, rewriting existing ads, volunteering, low-paid jobs or something else? what would you recommend to someone building their first portfolio today?   submitted by   /u/Embarrassed_Rip_7532 [link]   [comments]
