I had an online portfolio of student work, years ago when I graduated from uni. I've had the extremely good fortune of finding a job at an ad agency right out of school, and I've been working there for the past 7 years.
I haven't had a reason to create a new portfolio since design school, and back then it wasn't "real" work, so I didn't really need anyone's permission to show it. I'd like to create one now. What are the rules or ethics involved with showing work online that was done for actual businesses and clients? Keep in mind, I don't have a direct line of communication to the clients—we have a whole team of account managers, etc. for that—and many of them are large/national and wouldn't have met me personally.
I'd like to avoid asking my employer for permission, because I don't want to seem like I'm job-hunting (I'm not). I was actually promoted last year to a management position, so I no longer do hands-on design work. I'm considering starting to do some freelance design work on the side (because I miss it) but, of course, most people want to see a portfolio when they hire you. It is not against my terms of employment to do freelance work as long as I'm not competing for clients, and many designers in our company do openly freelance.
