Old boss demanding I remove my Design Portfolio over the last year. The last entire year I was an intern turned paid intern at a local Graphic Design company. I did not sign a contract, it was just a verbal understanding that I'd chill there, learn, design, get paid sometimes. Which I didn't mind. Having not been there for 5 months now, I decided to make a portfolio fan page on Facebook of work that I had done with him. (1 person owned shop) He is not telling me that everything that I've ever made, concepted and designed at the company must be removed out of my portfolio. Here is the brief conversation: >Boss: Everything with JM DESIGN CO Seal Must Be Removed Immediately Please. Me: Hey. What's wrong with me showing off passed designs I'm proud of? Is that not what a portfolio is? This isn't really a business, I don't sell anything. Just a way to show off designs I've done to friends and family. If you want I can type in the description: "Design and Concept made in conjunction with JM Design Co. JMDesignCo.net." After all how can I get a job if I can't show anything I've made in the passed year **Boss** >I understand your point (name) but it's a Conflict of Interest based on (me) and (his company). When People do an internship... Paid or unpaid they can list (him) as a Reference and I can write you a Letter of Recommendation on JM Design Co Letterhead as well. You Came to Learn at (company) and get Experience and You did. You came as an Intern and became a Paid Intern based on Your Skills. But The Work You Did for (company) can Not be Used to Promote Yourself or Your Business. Also The Work I Paid You to Work on is Property of (company) and My Clients. Therefore, They Must Removed. Thank You **Is he right? what can I tell his arrogant ass.**
