12 pieces of work max. All killer, no filler.

Here's an excerpt from an interview I did for a recruiter discussing how a creative's portfolio should be put together:
"Your book should show your talent, your personality and your idiosyncrasies. It should be like your autobiography as a creative, really.
You don’t want to be going on forever with 20 or 30 projects. 12 fantastic pieces of work, maximum.
Between 8 and 12, as long as you absolutely know those pieces of work inside out, you can sell the **** out of them and they are your absolute best work.
You want to be passionate about them and to be able to tell a story about each piece."
