Hello, I am just working on my first professional website. I am a graphic designer and I have been working as an employe so far. I want to show the best work in a portfolio and to write some information about my skills i.e.
Can I put the clients like audi or ferrari in? I made the pictures but my company sent the bills...
Is it good to place the education and qualifications in? Or let I better speak my artwork?

    You can use the graphics you've done but be specific that this is done in the capacity as an employee of a firm.

    What is more important is HOW you came up with those graphics for Ferrari and Audi. Getting testimonials might be difficult as the client (example Audi) might be put in a spot.

    Imagine an employee of the agency you hired coming to ask for a testimonial (I have no doubt that your work is good but then again it is never good to put a client in a difficult position or in a position that makes it hard for them to respond to you).

    It is better for you to be forthright and say on your website that you produced the graphics while working at Agency XYZ but you also explain how you derive the concepts for the graphic. By doing this, you don't detract from the agency (your employer) but you also bring some spotlight on yourself as a creative person.
