Visual Designer interview questions shared by candidates
One of the 1 on 1interviewers spent about 30 minutes explaining why he didn't like my work and went through each piece of my portfolio, picking apart each project at the pixel level. Told me up front that he didn't want me working there because I wasn't better than him and he only wanted people to work there who he aspired to be like.

If you see a few things that could need work, rework them and ask other designers for their opinion. Less

Asked to explain to important visitors how wiring would look on the Aircraft - (when we didn't have any wire to put in the Aircraft) - I suggested I buy YARN and have the Technicians do the runs - Green for a power wire, Purple for Sensor wire, Brown for Ground, etc. We installed the YARN, and the visitors loved the "Visual Effect".
