What that means is that;
The project you put in your portfolio, will detect what you will do next or in the future.
For example;
Am a content writer, who have written content on 5 different blogs.
If you open my portfolio and see my past projects, you will come to conclude that;
The next project am going to do will be based on content writing.
So that means that;
You have received a signal direction of the type of project I will do in the next future.
So the article from AIGA’s Blog was trying to prove that;
It is not just about only showing the best work that you have.
But it’s about;
Showing the right work that will lead you to your goal in future.
