If you are speaking of an online portfolio, go to portfolio!.com and see what the top designers are doing!.
If you are speaking of a tangible portfolio, I advise you not to include text!. You are there to PRESENT your portfolio!. It's your job to discuss your work with the viewer(s), not make them read about it silently in front of you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Minimally, it would be a good idea to caption the image with the client's name!. Your potential new clients or employer's may want to contact your previous clients to find out if they were satisfied with your work, so, be sure to only include those clients that you know will give you good references!.
If you want, you might include the product or service the client offers!. But, you don't want to clutter your portfolio with information and other text that would be better explained in a face to face interview!. Your list of information shows that you are thinking about what a potential client may want to know, so, be sure you have all that information, on hand, in case these questions are asked!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
