Is it a good idea to put failed art tests in your portfolio? sure, it might have not been up to par or standards with said company, but could it maybe catch the eye of other companies? Thoughts? Discuss.
why do you need to classify it as an art test on your portfolio? it's just another portfolio piece, so put it on there like one. fuck, i'd even say put up an NDA art test as a regular folio piece... you aren't saying who it was for or why it was made, or where you got the concept... and as mentioned before, NDA on art…
I didn't mean you would actually put "failed art test" on it. I meant it in the way that someone who is looking at portfolios would recognize it as another studios art test and judge you based on the fact that you didn't get the job there.

Awesome discussion, and great answers! another question comes to mind Sure, like tor frik said you don't have to write "failed art test" on your website. but say it actually comes up at an interview, you're showing your portfolio off and they ask what that piece (failed art test) is? then what do you do? i can see things…
One thing people seem to have overlooked in this discussion is the possibility that the art test did just fine, but the artist themselves turned down the position after getting the on-site and seeing some personal red flags or whatever that made it not seem like a good fit. I'm pretty sure people do turn down job offers…
Yeah, and privately showing an art test to a prospective employer is also an option too, if you don't want to burn any bridges by publicly posting something.
