better idea... not for free, say discount take a chance on me... OR

sign up as an affiliate to some quality sites... use some of their content and PRACTICE... i mean youre here offering it for free... so instead, explore your own creative skills with some content ( if you even need any) and slap it up in a portfolio... the portfolio alone is a good project for you... it shows what youre capable of...

if youre doing it for nothing... then make it on your own... dont offer your services to people for free...

if anything... make some premades... without copyrighted content of course... only use that shit to practice and show the public, never use it for your own... unlesss youre promoting that program with galleries or something...

theres another great idea for you... sign up to some programs... make some galleries... that can both show your skills on design and trailer choppin... and then promote those galelries... submit them... make some extra cash...



is that a dodge you have there?
The man speaks the truth. Imagine going into a car dealership and saying, "If you give me a free car ill put a bumper sticker on the back with the name of your dealership, deal?"

Sounds crazy, but too many creative people do this in the name of "building a portfolio". Is bullshit. Want to build a portfolio, do it with your own projects with your own bottom line in mind. If you have any skills at all the work will flow and word of mouth is your most important asset.

Don't give it away just to make a name. If you can do quality work, the work will follow without having to whore yourself in the process.
