Periodically we review our categories and search terms at Workbook and remove underutilized specialties, modify any outdated specialties and add new specialties.
The updates below outline the changes to the portfolio portion of our website by section. If your portfolio included a specialty gallery that was moved to another section, your gallery has been moved and remains published.
If you had a gallery published that is now a deleted specialty, this gallery was converted to an unpublished custom gallery. You will need to review this change and publish if you have room in your portfolio.
These changes were rolled out this week. Please contact Kirsten Larson at kirsten.larson@workbook.com for more information.
The current “Motion” category will be split into two categories and become “Director/Motion” and “Animation”.
IMPORTANT: If you had an animation gallery as a photographer or illustrator, please verify that your motion content is categorized properly. As a photographer, your motion content will remain in the Director/Motion section. As as animator, your motion content will remain in the Animation section.
