What makes a good game art portfolio? - Find out at our Portfolio Slam!

At our fourth Portfolio Slam, three young Game Artists will have the chance to present their Game Art portfolio live on stage to an expert jury. Get your ticket to join the audience, cheer the three slammers on learn more about what makes a good portfolio!

Clear the ring for the fourth Portfolio Slam, presented by Gamecity Hamburg and Design Zentrum Hamburg!

If you want to find a steady job as a game artist with companies in the games industry or acquire jobs as a freelancer, you need a convincing portfolio. But what exactly defines a good portfolio? Usually, the review of portfolios takes place behind closed doors. In many cases, applicants do not receive any helpful feedback after the review. Not so at our Portfolio Slam event! Here, you will have the opportunity to learn what experts look for in a portfolio review by presenting it to an expert jury and getting constructive feedback right on the spot. 

Of course, the audience can also take away a few things: You will see three inspiring portfolios from our slammers, you can cheer them on and help decide who will advance to the next round, and you will learn more about what belongs in a convincing game art portfolio from the feedback of the jury! In addition, our sponsor InnoGames will give you the chance to get feedback for your own portfolio off stage: Frank Härtenhoff will be on hand as an experienced game artist to give you individual feedback on how to improve your own portfolios.

And after the slam, you can make valuable contacts with companies and other game artists, meet more people from Hamburg's games industry and enjoy a cool drink at the networking afterwards. 

► Here you can get the tickets for 5€ (incl. 1 free drink)

Our expert jury:

  • Marcela Versiani, Lead Artist at Bigpoint
  • Stefan Wacker, Senior 3D Artist at YAGER
  • Reiko Groß, Art Director at InnoGames

► Find more info about our jury on the event page

The event will be held in English and according to Hamburg's Covid-Safety-Regulations (FFP2 mask mandate, no entry with symptoms), live at Design Zentrum Hamburg in Hamburg.

This event is sponsored by InnoGames and is a cooperation with PAGE.
