1. Use beautiful visuals to showcase your achievements
It is important to publish strong, high-resolution images of your best achievements to capture the attention of your future employers. Follow the guide for file formats and sizes (the guide is available for download when adding a new project).
2. Unveil all the steps of a project
Your portfolio should provide sufficient content and context to understand your projects. From the outset, make sure you document each step of your projects: sketches, initial inspirations, initial ideas, creative process, and final product.
3. Write clear and concise descriptions of your projects
Who is your portfolio for? What are the essential elements to communicate in your description? Get to the point, eliminate unnecessary information, and revise your texts. Ask for help if necessary.
4. Be consistent and coherent at all times
Maintain a consistent identity and quality in all your projects. Your entire portfolio is your signature. Consistency in the quality of the writing is just as important as in the quality of the visuals.
5. Be sure to complete each section of your professional profile
To get your audience to know you better, take the time to fill out all the fields: profile picture, biography, interests, CV, links to your social media, and LinkedIn.
