On one side, the boxed portfolio includes a [stack of books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-book-of-money), as well as a slot that contains numerous sweets. All of the seven books are tapered in size, so that the cover of each one can be seen upon first opening the box. While each book presents some of the work Meseck is responsible for, he notes that the [inclusion of sweets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swedish-tasting) is more or less a bribe. Either way, all of the components of this designer portfolio are certainly memorable and make a winning case for him to be considered for the master's program. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Personalized Designer Portfolios:** Creating designer portfolios with unique and personalized elements, such as candy or other interactive components, to stand out in a competitive market. - **Multimedia Portfolio Presentation:** Incorporating various media formats, such as books, videos, and interactive elements, to showcase a range of skills and experiences in designer portfolios. - **Memorable and Interactive Presentations:** Designing portfolios that engage and leave a lasting impression on viewers through interactive and visually appealing components, like sweets or other unexpected elements. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Graphic Design:** Graphic designers can explore innovative ways of presenting their work through personalized and interactive portfolios, making their work stand out in the industry. - **Visual Communication:** Professionals in visual communication can adopt multimedia portfolio presentations to demonstrate their skills and creativity, attracting potential employers and clients. - **Art and Design Education:** In the field of art and design education, the concept of unique and engaging portfolio presentations can be integrated into the curriculum to prepare students for industry demands and encourage creative thinking. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Vegan Confectionery Store Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-confectionery-store.md) - [Design Process Portfolios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/viewport.md) - [Designer Portfolio Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/good-designers.md) - [Gamified Portfolio Builder Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portfolio-builder.md) - [Snack-Themed Textbooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fundamental-textbooks.md) - [Trackable Design Portfolios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sixelf.md) - [Crystal-Adorned Crushed Cans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sam-keller.md) - [Professional Portfolio Builders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/profiler.md) - [Travel-Inspired Pretzel Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sabio.md)
